Throwback Thursday Challenge: My 1st Challenge!



I finally decided to complete a challenge. I really love "My Creative Time" with Emma. I have learned SO much from watching her tutorials!! So, I decided that I wanted my first challenge to be hers. My son has had a pretty serious bout with pneumonia; so, I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on it. I vowed I would start taking some time for myself; so, no matter how simple it is.... at least I did it!

The challenge was to do a project having something to do with a baby. I didn't have New Arrival; so, I used Paper doll dress-up. I wanted my doll to look like a baby; so, I cut my base at 5 inches and then did a blackout for the lion's mane. I cut the head away from the body and then punched a hole in the blackout portion to put the head behind. That way I didn't have to cut hair. The font is Zoobaloo.

This layout is special to me because my son has spent a lot of his life in the hospital. I remember that Halloween day, he was doing so well. I chose for him to dress up as a lion because he had a huge head of curly hair and looked like a little lion cub. He also has the longest eyelashes, rosiest cheeks and lips! I love that little cub!
