Chowder Head layout

Good Afternoon :) This layout was inspired by LOAD 1017 Day 9: …nickname – hopefully you had an immediate thought for this one.
Yes I did it's a nickname my hubby gave to our Buddy, our furry friend.

This is our Chowder Head aka Buddy. When I seen the prompt about nickname I knew I had to do this layout about Buddy. I used a recent photo of him:

 I used the Oct 1st sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy:

Love the layers that was matting the photo for this layout :) The border strips was like a frame for the layout. I also used 2 other challenges for this layout for the Scrappy Sisters Scrap September day 4: 3 colors: blue, off green and white. For Scrappin N Chattin yahoo group this is for the Navy Day challenge using Navy the most in the layout (a variety of blues indeed)

 Close up of the journaling

 The title and bottom cluster

and some of the other cluster work on the layout.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world ........
