A little more inspiration from Sharon using "Avec Les Mains" printables

Our Sponsor over at SIWAS is a French Online Store with downloadable papers for scrapbooking and also other projects.  I have used four different  elements that I downloaded from their store.  The first one is one called Green Jungle, next is called Imitation Pixels - Rose Color,  also a  paper called Rayures Rose Sucre Scrap and the fourth is a label from a set of 10 labels called 10 Etiquette's .  The pictures are matted in the Rayures Rose paper and then the Green Jungle is the next layer, the Imitation Pixels are next (the gear).  The title is on the label.  To see what Avec Les Maines has check out their web site.

Now for my layout.  I used one of the wonderful Stuck?!Sketches sketch, since this month we are working together.  

Also, notice that the label has a shadow under it,  that is because the picture and label lifts to show two pictures underneath.  The other paper on this layout is paper from my stash, some that I have had for quite some time.  This layout is of my granddaughter as she played Little Red Riding Hood in a play from the Missoula Children's Theater Group.  We are so proud of her and of course she did a wonderful job.  I am on the rock team so I was inspired by the song Stairway to Heaven by thinking of my grandchildren as they are my little piece of heaven here on earth. 

Here is the sketch by Laura Whitaker.  I hope you play along with us this month. 

  If you combine our challenge with the Stuck?! challenge,  you will be in the running for a voucher of €7 from Avec les Mains, (if we have 10 entries) so you can choose from over 170 printables  yourself! How cool is that?

I hope you enjoyed my layout and I have inspired you to play along with us on 

our current challenges:

You can also win a lovely RAK (a stamp set) from our DT member Brittany or you could be chosen to be our guest designer in a future challenge.

This digital scrapbook page was inspired by the first few words in the song...I'll Never See... I never thought I would see a pumpkin patch whilst stationed in Oklahoma. Well, I found a pumpkin patch & got to take a photo of Jack's first time ever seeing a pumpkin, pretty neat.

When I read the lyrics I thought of a trip I made in Austria.I remembered the Krimml waterfalls surrounded by nature.
