Dino Fossil Dig

I found a little time to create today and decided to scrap the photos of my great-nephew discovering sand for the first time at the Dallas Museum of Nature & Science Fossil Dig. I started with three great photos and the November 28 sketch from Liz Qualman at My Little Sketch Blook. (I'm also entering this layout in the Sketches in Thyme First Open Sketch Challenge!)


I started with a piece of sand colored Core'dinations cardstock from their Core Essentials Collection. I sanded it slightly to give it a more distressed "sandy" look. I cut the title letters on my Cricut using the Cuttin' Up cartridge. Then it was just a matter of adding a few patterned papers and embellishments, including a Jenni Bowlin School Days Bingo Card.

Since Andrew had just turned one less than a month before the photos, I highlighted the one on the bingo card by placing a star over that square. I used a pop dot for the star near my journaling to give the layout a little dimension.

I decided while I was at that I would create the same page for Andrew's scrapbook. This is one of those days that I truly appreciate digital photography and having a great photo printer - I simply reprinted the three photos and was on my way. The second layout uses the same sketch but different embellishments. I love this Little Extras Laser Cut dinosaur.

I'm pleased with the way this layouts turned out. What do you think? Which of the layouts do you like best?
