Scrap the Boys Challenge 2

Here is another layout from camp last weekend which is my entry for the second Scrap the Boys challenge this month, which was to use ribbon in a unique way. I have used 5 ribbons across the bottom of my photo as a background.

The cute little bird was from a pack of SEI chipboard pieces, there are Finishing Touch Ideas rubons, Making Memories Fabric brads, papers from Stampin Up and I can't remember where the diecut paper came from but it is fairly new.

Thanks for stopping by

Scrap the Boys August 1

Well it has been a week since we arrived at Lake Keepit for Deb's awesome Paperarts retreat and I am now recovered. We had the best time and Nerd Night was a blast...unfortunately I have to report that I am the nerdiest of them all and apparently by quite a way. My boys will be so proud of their mumma ..mmm maybe not.

At camp as well as doing four classes with Ngaire and Jill...I scrapbooked, and ate and chatted and scrapbooked some more. It was amazing..so great to recharge the spirit even if the body came home very very tired.

This is the first layout I have to show you. It is for the Scrap the Boys challenge to use flowers on a boy layout.

My flower was handcut from some denim fabric and layered with a Making Memories canvas flower and vintage button.

I thought this challenge would be hard but I ended up using flowers of some description on almost every layout from the weekend.

Photo is my gorgeous Matman looking angelic (ha ha). Used up an old fabric frame and rubons on here too and that cute fabric tag is from Junkitz.

Thanks for stopping by

Mattman and Beanie

The 1st challenge at Scrap the Boys this month is to record your boys vital statistics right now using a portrait shot. Full details of the challenge are on the blog here.

Sam, decided to "help" me take photos of my layouts lol.

I have done a couple of these pages, first one is Matman aka Matt

and second we have Beanie aka Ben

How cute is that dinosaur!! Beanie's page is all Basic Grey Archaic and Matman's uses Kaiser - finally more of my stash of older papers is being used. Feeling very proud of myself now.

I have a page of Zac on the go - I just need to pin him down for some help with the journalling and Sammy, well I need to pin him down so I can get a photo that isn't blurry...he moves so fast these days.

Thanks for stopping by

My Boy

Scrap the Boys has some great challenges at the moment and since I have not one but four boys to scrapbook I thought I would play along.

The first page I have is for the "Devil is in the details" challenge and is of my eldest Zac.

Believe it or not I didn't have a stamp that I liked for this layout so I actually inked some non-slip rubber matting and stamped on my background with that. I am really happy with the effect and will definately be using that again. The ink I have used is Night of Navy. The papers and embellishments are way old ones from my stash and it feels so good to have finally used them. The only fairly new item is the ticket that my Mum gave me a bunch of when I was admiring the collection she had (thanks Mum).

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget you have until the end of the month to enter the challenges at Scrap the Boys.

Cheers
