Good Bye Old Tree

Last summer we had to have a mature tree cut down as it was dying and we were afraid it was going to fall over with the wind. This tree was one that I had used several times to take pics of our Grandsons. I took the opportunity to have one last photo shoot with the boys and the tree. Here is a layout with a couple of those photos. Appropriately I named it Good Bye Old Tree.


And here are some closeups....


I picked up an old dictionary at a book sale to use in my scrapbooking. I used the page with tree for this layout.





I used the Let's Get Sketchy January Week 2 sketch for inspiration. 
I distressed my papers and embellies (which was difficult for me...lol!) to submit 
to Two Scrapbook Friends January Crafty Challenge which is distressing.

Here is the sketch.....


Supplies used Papers & Embellishments - October Afternoon - Sasparilla 8X8 Paper pad;
Lettering - Authentique and Thickers; Metal Key and Owl - Momenta

Have a crafty day!
