SIL December challenge - Tough Guy

It's December already! Can't believe how fast time flies.. Soon, it's gonna be 2010! Anyway, for December, Yatie came up with a great challenge for Scrap-It-Lah. We have to do a layout that incorporate these things:

1) Something Green

2) Using Black and White Photo(s) which means single or multiple photos

3) To include a quote in the layout or other projects.

I don't usually use B&W photos, as I usually send my photos to print in bulk at the print store. So, for this challenge, I used my dusty printer that haven't been used in ages. I barely have enough ink to print these photos of Zareef. Lucky it turned out OK!

I like how this one turned out, and it has deep meaning to me too. Zareef is a big boy now (he really is maturing a bit). The quote in this layout is really an advice from me to Zareef, so he can be adventurous, brave, and explore the world with an open mind; Do the best in everything he does, better than anyone else. Just go for it!

Hope you join us in this challenge. Do check out the awesome DT take on this one!
