You Rock! - Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal

Good morning friends! It’s time for the latest Lasting Memories Layout Challenges DT Reveal. Since it is a New Year - New Beginning - with New Challenges and Ideas!

This week’s  challenge is to use a child's artwork on your layout. If you don't have any artwork from a child, use lots of layers instead.

Here is my layout…

I used a collage that my daughter made for an entry in our local Fall Fair. This highlights two of the things that she loved as a child….Cats and Crafting! She received second place for her collage at the fair. I created a pocket and tucked the entry tag it at the top. I cut her creation down a bit and mounted it on a piece of Authentique - Devoted cardstock to give it stability. I then layered more of the same line under the photo. I was able to lift a couple of the kitty’s  ears around the photo. I really like how it turned out.
