This 11x8.5 layout is for the One Word Challenge # 2 at Sweet Shoppe Designs.
We were supposed to let the word PERFECT inspire the layout. I took it a little to the extreme and did a perfect layout about a not-so-perfect photo shoot.

Journaling:
I was trying to get the PERFECT photo of Chase,
but he wasn’t cooperating. I don’t know why he won’t
let me take his picture anymore. I guess it’s a pre-teen
thing. Oh no, did I say pre-teen. I’m not ready for that yet. I miss my perfect little guy who loved having his picture taken and always smiled big and said “Cheese” when he saw the camera come out. For now, I’ll just count these shots as Chase’s perfect pre-teen poses.
