Thursday Challenge - Special

Wonderful page. What an adorable smile. I really like how you used the paint sheers with the little critter. Love it.

Love the clusters and photos. Great page!

Such cute photos.. I love the white space and all the embellishments that you used. Lovely colors.

What a cutie, with an adorable smile, love all the layering of papers and sip lodges of paint, even love everything going through the middle and the blank space around the clusters of everything. Thank goodness you started taking photos again, can you imagine life without all your beautiful LOs? TFS xxx

What a precious LO, love the fun colors and that sweet face!

This is so cute! Such a happy smile on Ben! Love the white background and colorful embellies.

I really like the way you used a white background and then added all the things behind the photos to anchor them to the page. That's a technique I haven't tried yet. Nice work!

Love the smile, so glad you caught this one. It must have been a really stressful time. The layout is beautiful! I like the white background with the border, but the cluster of photos & elements on top is awesome!

Oh Valerie I can only imagine the heartache and sadness you must have been going through. If only you knew what you knew now - how far Ben would go. I am so happy to see this page as the first one I remember seeing of yours was Ben walking for the first time - congratulations, you all have come so far.

I can see why you picked a "smile" layout for Ben's week - wow, his sure does light up a room and make me smile too. I love your sweet photos and all the wonderful pieces you put together behind it so masterfully. Super use of white space too. A lovely, meaningful page.

Adorable photos. Great clustering Cute page.

This is so awesome Valerie. Love those adorable smiles from Ben. The watercolor splatters in the background are a great addition and I love the notepaper, ribbons and ric rac adorning the page. Beautifully done.

Simply gorgeous Valerie! What a tribute to your special young man.

Wonderful clusters & adorable photos of that special SMILE

Whatever his age was, he already had that special smile! What a sweetie. I love the colorful mix of your accents against the white background. Cute layout -- I'm glad you decided to scrap what must have been an overwhelming time in your life.
