Let's Get Sketchy

Two weeks into summer break and I'm having fun playing with the kids...I've even allowed myself to "let go" the need to have a perfectly clean house to make more time for it. But I can't lie...I'm missing that sweet two hours every afternoon when Santiago was at school and Paolina was napping so I could do some scrapbooking. Yesterday I finally caught a break when Santiago went to a friend's house during Paolina's naptime, and Noé took our car for an oil change. I was in scrappy heaven and managed to get TWO pages completed. Of course, one is future design team work so you won't get to see that for a while, but I also decided to play with the Let's Get Sketchy's Team A sketch from this past week. And here is what I came up with...

I used all scraps for this page and even made my own background paper with a mask from Crafter's Workshop. Between that and having such a great sketch to work with, this layout came together in a snap! Wish the picture had come out a bit better...there's obnoxious glare on the photos of Santiago (and his chubbly little baby cheeks) but today was the last day to post for this challenge so I didn't have time to try and get a better shot. You still have a few hours left to play along yourself until a new challenge goes live tomorrow, so if you haven't already maybe you will join in too!
