It's A Boy Thing

Hello everyone. I hope everyone has been having lots

off fun crafting since my last post.

The layout I would like to show you today is one I did 

at the Scrapbookit Retreat at Harrietville on the weekend.

Jo decided that since she had set the theme for the Saturday

to be Halloween she would organize a trick or treat challenge.

Everyone got to pick a bag with papers in it. There were four

papers and you to do a layout using these four papers and you

could add embellishments. Oh fun if you got the treat but very 

sad if you got the trick.

I was lucky.....

One sheet had black/brown/white circles. Another was the plain

blue card stock.  The third was a patterned paper that had lots of 

boy words and the colors matched so well. Yep you guessed it I 

was smiling. Then came the fourth sheet.....Help it is white and 

lime green, so bright, yuck. My mind races and I look at the back 

and it is plain white...yes this side will work. I used it to mount the

photos. I then inked the edges.

The chippie is from Scraptopia and I used Tim Holtz Distress 

Stain Dauber - Black Soot too ink it. I also used the same color 

along with Broken China to make the splotches on the card stock.

You can get these from the Scrapbookit Store along with the other

products I used.

For my photo I used 2 6x4 prints. One black/white and the other

color. I cut out my two boys Riley and Harley from the color and

mounted them over the black and white with dimension tabs. The 

other small color pic was just mounted normal. I cut the words from 

the patterned paper and mounted them. From the same paper I cut 

the circles. A Kaiser stamp and to journal around the edge on two 

sides of the 12x12 card stock was the only other things added.

 

Melissa Kennedy from Kaiser Craft attended the Scrapbookit

Retreat and was going to judge them for a winner. Wooo Hooo

I was lucky enough to be chosen by Melissa for a paper pack 

prize from Jo.

Thank you Jo (Scrapbookit) and also Melissa Kennedy.
