Cousins

I used My Minds Eye paper, some of the cute twine flowers that we made at the retreat! I love this paper even though it was so busy I thought it was really fun!  I added some buttons and other flowers to bring it all together.  The sepia photos seemed a perfect fit for this page! The boys don't really like getting their picture taken that much!  I will have to get little Kyla used to me taking photos so she isn't so shy!!!!

In a Class All Your Own!

I really loved this colour palette (Challenge #11) for www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com.  The colours matched so well with my new stuff from CTMH.  I love this stamp of the denim pocket, its a two part stamp that really comes out like denim!  Also used in this layout CTMH patterned paper, canvas stickers and twine.  The Brads are BoBunny, the banner sticker is Simple Stories and Washi Tape.

 

No Pool No Problem

 Another great palette from www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com check out the contest there is fun prizes to win.  Working with a colour palette is fun it really pushes you to think outside the box!  I used P&J Basic Grey paper, letters and embellishments for this page.  I also added some October Afternooon twine, Studio Callico tape and Creative Memories letters.  Great fun!  Enjoy!

I feel in love with Echo Park with this kit, their papers are so whimsical and fun!  I love the stickers and chipboard shapes, I really had so much fun with this line.

Amazing...

Here is some fun I had with some leftovers of my Boys Rule kit!  The echo park Paper featured in this kit was really fun to work with and great for boys!

The view finder is pretty awesome!

Proud of My Hockey Star

Challenge #5 at Color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com has some great colours for you to try.  This one was not my "go-to" colours so certainly a challenge to make it work!  I used a couple snips from an old batch of Authentique.  Most of the paper and the brads are Karen Foster, JillyBean Soup chipboard letters and a hockey stick all from a BoysRule hockey themed kit I picked up at Scrapfest! LOVE IT!  I added some ribbon from my stash some CTMH twine, stamp and tag.  I hope you can all be challenged too at Color-Me-Scrappy, try out a challenge and win a prize, it is seriously fun to try to work with a colour palette, so try it out!

What can you do with leftovers?

I had a ton of scraps leftover form the Boys Rule May kit.  I decided to make something fun for my son who needed a lil'bit of encouragement to want to do homework!  I enjoyed working on the Boys Rule kit as a Guest Designer the gals over there are very talented bunch and have a great line of stuff for boys!  Be sure to check them out.

I pasted the snips of paper onto the wooden pencil holder from the dollar store with deco-page and sponge brush.  Once all the pieces were in place I covered the whole thing with deco-page for protection....this was going to belong to a 7 year old right!

Then I added some boy-bling and a little love note! So muchy Mom!

Carter said "Wow Mom thanks, now I can do homework in my room at my desk"  he was very excited to hopefully my little plan worked!  and it looks cute too!

The Big Game!
