May 1st Challenges

Is it May already? Good grief! Well that means another new challenge at About a Boy. This time we were asked to create a layout of our boys being "typical boys". These various photos of Santiago when he was 2-1/2 ... playing with trucks and blocks ... seemed perfect to me!

It's also time for another challenge at Sketches With Color. For the month of May, the challenge is ever-so-slightly different. There is a color palette of 14 different colors, and you get to choose which three you want to use with the provided sketch. Further details are available on the Sketches With Color blog.

Here is the sketch...

I chose to use Poppy Red, Grayed Jade and Monaco Blue for my layout...

I used some sweet photos of Santiago when he was a few days short of turning one month old. I can't believe he just turned five years old this past Saturday!  Time really does fly once you have kids...
