Guest Designer for Whimsical Wednesdays - "Aquaholics"

Hello all, I am so excited and thrilled to be a Guest Designer at Whimsical Wednesday this week for their challenge to create a layout that has to do with "humor".  I love all the different challenges that they have each week.  They are so much fun and inspirational.  I am honored to be joining this amazing Design Team this week!


Now for this week's challenge, "Sense of Humor", it could be interpreted by incorporating funny pictures or cuts/images or by words that have to do with humor.  I decided to be inspired by some very funny pictures of my husband and friend at his birthday party last year.  You see, after lots of drinks, they decided to have a jumping contest into the pool.  Let me remind you, these are grown men and they thought they were Spiderman or Karate Kid... the pictures say it all!  Every time I see them, I crack up.  So I thought they would be perfect for this challenge.  


I decided to look into my sketch folder and found one that worked with these four photos.  The next thing was to come up with a great title for these hilarious photos.  This took a while, I didn't seem to come up with the right one, but then I remembered a name of a boat I saw recently that I loved and I knew I needed to use on a layout and it just worked perfectly for these pictures.  So with my title, AQUAHOLICS, the layout came together.  Now, I used these chipboard letters I've had forever and as soon as I got to the last letter, I realized that I didn't have an "s" - I hate when that happens!!!  So I had to rig it and I did so by manipulating an & sign.  I added a couple embellishments and voila!  Here's the layout...

So be sure to join in on the fun at Whimsical Wednesday and enter the challenge!

I hope you've enjoyed my layout (and my funny photos!).  Thanks for stopping by!

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know you were here!  I hope you come back tomorrow for yet another layout you won't want to miss (with some other funny photos)!
