Sketches in Thyme

Okay I did it, I tried a scrapbook challenge from Sketches in Thyme , who knew that either scrapbooking or blogging could be so interactive, well I guess I knew that about blogging already but anyway...

Here's the challenge
and here's my pageI have a $90 camera from Target and very little skill with lighting or photoshop but there you have it.

I didn't veer too far away, I was nervous! I'm not very happy with the journaling but I love the stripes. Rockets are Toby's signature thing since his nursery is decorated that way. Incidentally this is the first "New" Toby page I have done, everything else is from when he was teeny tiny, it's kind of fun to do a page in which more of his personality comes through. I really liked the texture that came through when I layered the stripes instead of just lying them next to each other.
