King Con 2014

When getting bored with my "to-scrap" pile of photos, I sometimes resort to the Facebook uploads of my children.  This does leave me low on journalling because they're not my stories, but some photos just cry out to be included in an album.  One such was this brilliant photo of No.1 Son and his lovely girlfriend all dressed up for their first Comic Con.

Layout - Durham Comic Con - Jimjams

Layout detail - Pattern layers - Jimjams What a perfect pair!  Their costume colours toned beautifully with the Kaisercraft patterned papers in my April Counterfeit Kit, and I could use some of the phrase cards to make up for the lack of journalling. I recognised "Poison Ivy" but had to ask about No.1 Son's character ... apparently "Salamander Coral" was chosen because he is a comic character with dreadlocks!! 

I'm joining in with the UKS SLYMI Challenge #4 to scrap a funny face ... I reckon green and red is pretty funny don't you?!  Especially as his combination of green body paint and red hair dye didn't completely disappear by Monday morning!

Great picture, definitely needed scrapping. I'm looking forward to scrapping through my ready pile of pictures this May so that I can move onto some new ones too.

Oh that's a great picture..who cares about journalling when the photo is this good..the title says enough. Fab costumes!

I've been known to nab their comments and read friends' posts to make up the journalling. My SIL was thrilled when she realised I did that on some for them.

Great photo - and they must have had some explaining to do on Monday! I like your little additions too.

"Borrowing" facebook photos is such a great idea. I really like your design, especially those two rounded tabs near the black and white stripe. And I think your photo says it all - looks like they had fun!

So FAB with your kit! Can't imagine how he explained the green face at work Monday morning, hehe.
