Scraps of card and vellum

Had some unexpected time to scrap last night due to my husband's train home being delayed. The twist for the latest Twisted Sketches sketch (no. 087) is "comfort" and this made me think about the fact that my son sucks his thumb when he most needs comfort. I had a photo of my son that I'd wanted to scrap for some time but hadn't been able to come up with the right idea for it.

The photo was actually taken as an example of him staring off into space lost in his own thoughts but when I looked at it afterwards I noticed his sucking thumb was stuck out as if ready to be popped in if needed and I knew I wanted to make some reference to this habit as one we'll remember long after he has (hopefully) grown out of it.

Carrying on my own theme of scraps, I've used scraps of card which were the offcuts of the photo mat to stick the cloud stickers on to help them stand out against the white backing card and a scrap of vellum with a sort of cloud effect on it that I've had in my left over scraps from when I first started out cardmaking.
