Avenging Toddlers Unite!

Avenging Toddlers Unite!

Toddler Fury!

So my son is a 13 year old little comedian!  He spotted the Heroes Volume 1 and Full Circle; Assemble stamp sets on my desk he immediately was so stoked.  I asked him what I should create with them and he said I should make a page for our family scrapbook.  I recently have been going through so many photos of my kids and came across this cute photo that was PERFECT for this stamp set.
So I grabbed the stamps and I grabbed a page and his photo and brainstormed.  I felt strongly that BOLD Red Blue Green Purple ETC has been over done and is very predictable. Still amazing, but predictable. So I wanted to keep it unique. I figured that a neutral and metallic palette could be fun!  So I ran with it!

Assemble (the layout)!

I found this great geometric gold metallic paper to play with and I wanted to stick with the circle element so I cut a circle out and used it as a window for his cute little photo. I also embossed some circle details and then just started puzzle piecing the rest together
I just love the embossing!  I have a little baggie full of scrap embossing powder that I collect if I only have a little bit left after a project.  Or if it gets combined with other colors. So this baggie is full of every embossing powder I have! It always has a fun effect.
Isn't it so great!?
I did have a hard time figuring out which sentiment to use for this layout.  I almost went with LOVE YOU 3000 but decided it was not as great for the actual photo.  I figured it needed a sentiment that matched the photo more.

I Believe in Toddler Heroes!

Ok well we came, we assembled, we conquered! Landis was about two in this photo and today he is 13 and I am fully in my feelings today! He was so little funny and goofy! Photos like this remind me of those precious times.

What did we LEARN!?

--Embossing powder left overs SHOULD NEVER be thrown out!  Collect that and make a special little container for it.  I use little tiny zip-lock baggies.  You could use an old medication bottle or if you have an empty embossing powder bottle then SCORE!

--Super Hero designs don't NEED to be bold and colorful.  This neutral color scheme was so fun to use and I think it helps to keep the focus on his photo and not the design.

--Old family photos WILL make  you happy and ugly cry and that is just simply OK!

 

Ok friends.  We love you.  We need you. We adore you!
