Ian turns 3 - Jake the Pirate LO

Hola everyone!

Hope your year is starting as amazing as mine has.  

I am playing in the Scrapping4Fun Challenges blog's DT Challenge and Guest Designer’s Challenge.  The Challenge is to create a card, layout or anything using this sketch as inspiration:


I've done so many cards in the past months for different swaps, that a layout was long overdue.  I hit my photo stash and found this cute picture of my 3 year old nephew on his 3rd birthday.  

Jake the Pirate scrapbook layout

His birthday was a bittersweet celebration for us... it was just the day after my father's burial.  He was trying so hard to make everyone smile!  And he achieved it!  This face is so lovable and laughable, that I just had to create a layout with it.  

I used American Crafts and My Mind's Eye paper, which I stitched the border with my sewing machine. The button and string is American Crafts as well.  The half beads were made by me!!  Yep, I recycled some old plastic beads by melting them in the oven (400 F for 10 minutes or until melted).  Jake the Pirate was printed from here, and all other images used, were printed off the internet.  

I had tons of fun making this LO.  Hope you like it!!!  Happy 2015!!

Besitos,
