Challenge Layout and card for Week 16

I just couldn't wait to put these pictures of Todd and Cade on a scrapbook page...father (who is our son) and son (who is our grandson)!! Cade is our little guy who, at age 16 months, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after ending up in the ER with a blood sugar of 1200. Scared us to death. But that was a year ago and we have all adjusted very well. Cade has the sweetest temperament and always (almost!!) has a ready smile. He gets pricked and injected at least 8 times a day yet is so sweet natured about it all. He does better than I do!
Anyway, Todd and Cade had gone for a jog to the park. Cade was in such a playful mood when they got home. He and Todd were sitting on the couch and I caught these pics of them! Cute, huh?

This layout was for the FTSSC weekly challenge. We had to use the sketch below. We also had to use 2 of the techniques so i used stitching and tearing. Then my 3 elements were a household item (the paper clip and the Santa playing card), an animal, and chipboard.

 

This is the card that I made for the same group's weekly card challenge. I used the following sketch, used stamping and border punch as my techniques, and my 3 elements were 'brown and a second color, chipboard and lace.

I also entered the card in Shelley's Images (Anything Goes). That's all I had time to link to this time.

Thank you for looking.
