Love all these things about my cousin - Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine January Sketchy Challenge (layout 8)

Here is the 2nd layout I did since I injured my back, again took longer than it should have since I needed multiple breaks (and a nap) before I could complete it.

Here is another fabulous sketch from the very talented Sue Sykes:

Here is my take:

These pictures are from this past summer of my son with his cousin Sadie while they played on grandma. Kyle loves Sadie so much and every time they see each other they are just full of hugs and kisses for each other. They only get to see each other 2 or 3 times a year since we live in Northern Alberta and they live on Vancouver Island. Thank goodness for skype so even though they don't physically get to see each other they get to watch each other grow.
