Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #56- 3/2/1 Recipe

It's challenge day at Kaboodle Doodles and this week we have a recipe challenge for you!  We are sponsored this week by Gingerloft and they have provided our DT with images- thank you Gingerloft! One lucky winner will receive FREE images as well, how cool is that!

The recipe this week is as follows:
3 designer papers, 2 solids, & 1 embellishment. I decided it was time I got back to scrapbooking, so I grabbed this fun image "You Rock" that you can find here. I thought it was perfect as this is my Lucas with his Student of the Month medal, he just started Kindergarten this year.

I used papers from the DCWV School Days stack and used a layout from my new CTMH idea book called  Magic that you can pick up here. All my papers are inked with CTMH Black ink. I also used my Cuttlebug embossing folder to add the numbers to the red strip.  I put his medal in this fun little keepsake holder that my friend Darla gave me.






I added my journaling by computer generating it and then cutting in strips, this is another first for me!  I am usally horrible about journaling on my layouts but am going to try to do better in 2011!

WOO HOO- go me, I actually completed a layout for 2011!  Sue ( my close friend and CTMH consultant) is gonna be so proud of me!

Now make sure you head over to Kaboodle Doodles to chek out what rest of team has done and join the challenge!

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

Card Creations & More-anything that sparkles (All my papers are sparkly, you can see best in photo with journaling- see all those sparkly stars).

 ECP Challenges-something for the boys (this layout is all about my sweet boy)
