Time for another S.A.M creative challenge. I am also sponsering this challenge and I am challenging you all to create a "shaped" layout. That is, not your usual square or rectangle layout.
I came up with this super cute double sided vest layout of my two sons featuring photos from my wedding last year. I tried to re-create the design on their vest with clear embossing powder and two stamp sets. The buttons also feature the faux metal technique. Journaling is on the back and reads:
Josh and Drew, you two were pretend page boys at our wedding. You both looked adorably spunky (and I have photographic proof!)
I wanted all my children to be dressed as part of the wedding but, not necessarily have offical roles.
You boy rode in the Hummer limo with Grandpa, Aunty Fiona, Aunty Didi and me (Mum), and even walked down the aisle with Aunty Fiona. You both loved being part of our special day and didn't mind the attendion one little bit.

Ros that looks fabulous. Love the vest and what gorgeous pics of the boys. Loved the little buckle on the back too. You're a star at these shaped layouts.
