Hold on To Your Dreams - OUAS November Challenge

Hi Everyone

I really scrapped up a storm today and so was able to complete the OUAS November challenge.
This was the lovely sketch.



Here is my version.


The theme was one that I have been wanting to do for a while now.  I really want my son to live this and know it everyday, and hopefully also read one day when he is paging through my albums.

I used Basic Grey papers, with Crate Paper stickers and chipboard accents.  The chicken wire and title is Enmarc. The cogs are Design Worx. I did some coffee stains on the background and really like the way they splattered.  I really enjoyed that technique!!!

Here are 2 close-ups.



Did you happen to see the cute mouse in the bottom right hand corner?

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great evening!
