As promised I'm back with a layout to play along with Child's play challenge and a few other fun challenges
So let's start with Child's Play challenge- Cozy coupe.
I pulled the colors straight from the inspiration photo, right down to the little boys shirt too.
The layout itself is from Sketch with a twist.
The twist is to use fabric
I did a combo of denim paper for the circles and real denim for the strips sticking out from under the buttons
I changed the photo placement and circle size too.
I went larger 3.5 inches to accommodate my sweet sons face

Close up of left side of layout. I made the buttons with my CM 1 1/4"circle punch.
I layered three pieces of punched card stock to give it some thickness.
Chalked the outer edge with white chalk ink and drew an inner circle with white gel pen to make it more like a real button. The thread is thin strips of paper
Close up of title and journaling.
" Like most four year old, Eric is obsessed with fire trucks.
Not just trucks, but anything fire related.
Extinguishers, fire alarms, hoses and water
but most of all he love his fireman raincoat."

I'm also including a photo of his raincoat.
I know it's not in his closet. It usually lives on the doorknob anyway.
The challenge over at True XOXO is the smell of fresh clean laundry- so dive into your closet for some inspiration.
I should also add this to Lasting Memories how do you fold as all the diamond tiles started out as circles that had the edges folded over
