Sweet Layout

Here's another layout I did based on a challenge from the If It's Groovy blog. I am really loving challenges like these. I have so many pictures, events and ideas I want to scrap that sometimes it's hard to settle down on one. Using a challenge, whether it be a sketch, a song or a theme, gives me a starting point. It's easier to search my stash of pictures and supplies and put them together. It also helps with scrappers block.

The June challenge at IIG is to do a "Candy" layout. I had some candy stickers on hand but no candy pictures simply because my darling children don't eat candy (Ha! Right! Then why did Kaitlyn only want the largest bag of dum dum suckers I could find for her birthday??) I decided to take this theme in a different direction. At work there are a few of us who share a love for trashy romance novels which we call brain candy. It was a simple matter of taking a couple pictures of some of my books and going from there. I should mention that I also used a sketch from the MSH sketch challenge(this one was based on # 20 from 52 Sketches... 52 Weeks).
