I'm such a meanie sometimes! I love to take photos of the boys while they're crying. I don't do it when they are actually in danger and I rarely do anything with them, but I can tell you the context of every single one that I have ever printed.
For the Scrappy Friends Challenge, Brenda wanted us to use the phrase "Keep calm and ___" with us filling in the blanks. And I just thought it was funny to use photos that weren't so calming. Especially given that Rylan is normally my over the top smiles and giggles child, this represents the other part of his life.

| I apologize for the over sharpening, the dreary weather outside wasn't cooperating. Over sharp looked better, promise. |
For the rest of the Scrappy Friends Challenge I used Kerys' sketch, Kristi B's technique (misting/stenciling), and Rochelle's color combo.

Love your layout and the photos! I think it is great to take photos of the good times and the not so good times. Awesome job on all 4 challenges! Thank you so much for participating at GCC and my scrappy friends challenges!
ReplyDeleteI really like your layout and the story the photos tell. I have taken many pics of my kiddos not so happy moments! Nice misting! Thank you for joining us at S.W.A.T.!
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad totally took pictures of us when we were throwing a fit. Years later it's still not funny to me but it is hilarious to them. OK- it is hilarious to me but I'm not sure I'm going to own up to that with them. Now my kids shake with laughter to look at those pictures. This layout is fun and has great design. Nice job!!
