Sketchy Thursdays and a sniff sniff

I just love when I see a sketch and RIGHT away I know what I wanna do.  This happens alot for me with the sketches over at Sketchy Thursdays.  While I have been able to play along with them much lately-I am excited that life is slowing down for a bit so I could join in this week.    So here's the sketch
So when I saw it I immediately thought of a layout I have been wanting to do for quite sometime.  And what hooked me was the lil paint splatters in the top right corner.  Why you ask--well I wanted to do a page of my oldest son on his first day of the 8th grade and also a picture of his first day of kindergarten.  Which for me was rough last year when that day came cuz that meant that would be the end of his time at his elementary school  (they go K - 8th grade)  and then would come high school-YIKES-soo not ready for that!  Ok so it was last year but I still totally can feel the emotion I had on that day so I figured better get it scrapped while I can still feel and journal they emotions I felt that day.  Those lil paint splatters to me represent my tears that I keep to myself becuz my boy is growing up.  Thats why they are hidden behind the photo and just peek out a lil bit! 

Now onto the fun stuff-I chose to break out my new goodies-Little Yellow Bicycle's Head of the Class line.  Looove the design of this stuff and the quality-WOWZA!!!  Of course I got it all at a GREAT price becuz I got it at my FAVE scrappy store MEMORABLE SEASONS.    So here's what I came up with

you have until Wed at midnight to join the fun over at Sketchy Thursdays-hurry hurry!

toodles,
Tami
