My Spidey Senses are Tingling! - Let's Get Sketchy

Today I would like to share a layout that I created with the Let's Get Sketchy January Week 1 Sketch.
I used a photo that was taken last fall for Halloween. Our Grandson decided to be Spiderman and he was absolutely adorable in his costume. We had a little photo shoot outside at their apartment a couple of days before Halloween as we wouldn't have the chance to see them for Trick or Treating. His Dad decided that Spidey should climb the wall. I took the shot just as he let go for a second and got the perfect photo! At no time was our little Spidey in danger!

Here is my layout......

And some closeup shots....

And here is the LGS sketch......

Supplies - AC Cardstock, My Mind's Eye - Find Your Wings & Fly Paper & Stickers; Lettering - Thickers & Studio Calico; Spiders & Web - The Paper Studio

I used Core'dinations Impressions - Jillibean Soup for my background. I sanded some of the paper to bring out the design and the core colour.
