I know I said I was taking a scrappy break but yesterday I was on My Mind’s Eye’s blog and I saw this sketch and I never work from sketches but this one spoke to me and I had an idea immediately. So much so that even though I’d planend to do it this morning, I sat down and did most of it last night. Since my photo was landscape, I rotated the sketch clockwise by 90 degrees.
I made this layout to remember that David helps out a lot around here. With the food, diapers, cleaning, playing and anything else I might need. He’s a truly amazing little boy and I don’t thank him nearly often enough. So that in my weaker moments when he’s driving me insane, I can remember how amazing he is. And so he remembers that I do appreciate him. so very much.
All products except for the letters are My Mind’s Eye. I put my border punch collection to good use.

Great take on this sketch. Love the color combo and the picture is darling.
thank you so so much for your kind words!
This is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful piecing and stitching.
thank you so much, you’re so very kind.
Thank you for your beautiful entry and the reminder that I need to do a layout like this for my oldest son as well.
thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂 it’s easy to take the good boys for granted so this is more a reminder for me than him 🙂 thank you for encouraging me to scrap it with the beautiful sketch. I never use sketches normally but the instant I saw that one I had the idea of using the strips with different borders so I had to sit and do it.
I Love your work!
It’s perfect!
