Scrap the Boys August Challenge

Time for another scrap the boys challenge.  This months challenge was to document our boys.  Lee's obsession with his car cleaning was obvious after I found this picture he took of his work in the sun.  It reflects the beautiful paint work of the car having just been cleaned as it sparkles in the sun.  I played with some guilding, using the fabulous yorkshire dales mega flake for the back ground giving it a metal grid look.  Adding metals, vellum and paper finished this layout, with a brief description of Lee's fastidious obsession with cleaning the car..................if only I were a car  (just sayn)

October, Scrap the Boys

Scrap the Boys April challenge

Scrap the Boys April challenge required the use of a sketch (pictured below).  Here is my LO based upon the sketch.  The photos are of my youngest who love, love, LOVES animals and in particular bugs.  He spent ages talking to this ladybug and moving it from his hand to a leaf and back again until finally the ladybug took flight.  He may be the next Dolittle :-).  I used papers from the kaiser craft jungle bug collection, the awesome Prima stencil with texture paste, some bits of washi (my new addiction) and some color shine in black (longtime addiction) to give the messy splotches such a boy page deserves.

Scrap the Bpys November Challange

This challange was to display team colours.  I chose to scrap SAPSASA district soccer team which not only did my son play in but my hubby coached.  The competition is held every year at the end of June for the year 6 and 7s from each school district.  This team was chosen for the Onkaparinga North district.



Engagement card

I don't really make many cards.  The odd one here and there for kids birthday parties, but my cousin is engaged and I thaught i would use the inspiration from the card Queen Natalie May and make a fold out card and the inspiration from the fabulous shabby chic Steph Devlin (Lucky me to have both these inspirational people as my teachers) to design the card itself.  This together with my scraps, I acheived this card to celebrate my cousins engagement:

Soccer scrap the boyz!

Another soccer LO done, the scrap the boys challenged me to complete the 4th of the 6 LO which are needed for Chet this year.  I am really happy with how it turned out, just needing my son to hand write his stats on the tag.  I used paer from a soccer pack I purchased containing paper, embelishments, ribbons and words.  I first used a chicken wire template as a stamp which reminded me of the goal nets around the edge of the paper.  The school banner and flags represent the school teams colours and made my own tags so that Chet could record some fun stats to look back on.  Again these were done with the chicken wire template one stamping the image the other using as a mask and filling in template with distressed ink.

Scrap my Boy!

 Renton, my youngest just loves animals.  From dogs to the creepy crawlies, anything he can touch and love.  He was in awe of the green caterpillar we found hiding on the tomato plant and just had to have a closer look.
For this page I used the Bug a Boo collection in the Adorn it paper range.  I dirtied up the page by stamping the edges and using a mask with stamps and glimmermisting over the page.  I embelised the page using bugs cut from the paper which are raised to different levels and the twine is stapled onto the paper (using green staples).

Renton also turned 6 this year and had his first birthday party with his friends.
Here I used the Lets celebrate range from Websters papers.  To embelish I cut our the balloons and raised the top half, created my own flags, and used stickers and doodling around the page.
