So you think you can...

Tally Scrapper just finished out thier
first challenge for "So you think you can scrap?"

This Challenge we needed to make a 8.5x11
layout, use only one wallet size photo and
have the title, "So you think you can...?"
And because I'm on Nikki's team I also had
to use paint and use a blue color scheme.

I picked this photo of my brother Joe playing baseball.
Joe has never been good at sports nor has he ever
been interested so this was fun to watch him play!
He did pretty good!
