I've still been doing a lot of doodling and this is a layout that I finished this week. The photo is my grandson, Allen, that I took about 18 months ago at a local park. I used a solid white smooth textured card stock and black Micron pens to do my doodling. The greenery is colored with Prisma pencils and then blended with OMS. The logs were also drawn with the Micron pens, but I colored them with several different Copic markers. I changed the photo to a black and white in PSE8 and printed it in a 4 x 6 in size, then I sanded the edges of the photo with some fine grained sandpaper. The title letters are some sticker letters by American Crafts. I added the journaling to the back of the layout and it reads:

Allen, you are so cute when you smile at me. I am so proud of you and of all the things you have learned. I know that you will achieve great things in life, because you're one smart little guy. I love you! Grandma

Thanks so much for stopping by!
