I have a sketch for you today! And it's a layout sketch! Don't faint! For you card makers, you can probably make a card instead. {grin} I created this sketch, then adapted it for a masculine layout by replacing the flowers with gears, clocks, and other metal embellishments.
I created my layout using Graphic 45 Transatlantique papers. Transatlantique is an older line, but I love the blues and aquas, plus the map on Bon Voyage is awesome!
This layout is of my oldest son, who will be 20 years old on December 12th. I am amazed at the man he is becoming. One of these photos was taken when he was 10 and the other when he was 17, nearly 18. To watch a boy become a man is one of the miracles of parenting!
Here is a close-up of the metal embellishments I used. The chipboard word-art is from Imaginarium Designs. Make sure you check the Graphic 45 Blog for MORE inspiration!

How fun to be the first to comment. I keep a scrapbook of all the photos we get at Christmas. This young MAN, was just a boy when we met. I know time passes us by - but Wow.
