X for Xcitement!

Another reveal today.. this time a simple layout, one I whipped last minute late Sunday evening, salvaging the remaining minutes of daylight.. hehe.

This one was inspired by a sketch from Lets Capture These Sketches. I also join in Scrapbookers Anonymous February challenge, which was to include as many Xs in your layout. Cool, as I don't think I ever used X in my layout before! These pictures of my kids jumping are pure Xcitement. I added another X so I have 2 Xs!

Love these bright color papers from Nikki Sivils, and really glad that I get to destash these papers! (Yeap, more room for new papers :)) Aren't they pretty? At first I had a hard time finding an appropriate background paper. At last I decided to use black cardstock. As I don't like plain cardstock as a background, I painted the edges white. Love how it looked like a blackboard, and I think black makes the papers pop out more too..

Glad to find thickers that match the paper colors..

Some close up shots.. Sorry for the poor quality picture. As I said, it was getting dark when I was finished with this layout :)
