Kraft plus challenge June

Well, the wonderful inspiration for a challenge at Kraft plus continues. This one is a childhood favourite for many of us:

Dr Suess has some amazing quotes, and some really great tips to live our lives. 

When I read this list of quotes, I knew what I wanted to do. I chose the quote "A person's a person, no matter how small". We need to cherish and nurture our little ones, for they are our future. One of my favourite subjects to scrap is my great nephew Rome. His parents are doing a fabulous job of parenting, and Rome is proving to be a great little kid. I just love this photo of him, delighting in the fun of a skateboard, even though he was too small to ride it, lol. 

I loved the green in his t-shirt and went with this for my feature colour. I added a cute stamped image of a "little person", designed by Fiona Paltridge for Aall and Create stamps, it's very cute. I used a number of other  Aall and Create stamps as added interest to my background. I also added a Charms Creations XO set. 

I had so much fun with this challenge, it is a beauty.

Scrap the Boys May challenge

April is gone, and now May is here. So that means it's time for another challenge at Scrap the Boys.
Here is the challenge:

When I first saw this moodboard I had different photo in mind, but then couldn't find the photo. It went along the theme of the model look, never mind will have to save it for another layout another time. I found this cute photo of a nephew and his little boy. I thought it would work really well with the colours. 

The background paper was a great find, it had most of the work done, I just added some stamping and stenciling with stamp and stencil set from Aall and Create. ( I think I am fast developing an obsession with their products).  I also stamped and fussy cut the leaves, to tie the leaves in the photo and in the moodboard together. 

Embellishing was done with some chipboard arrows, which I embossed. I also embossed the title. I finished off with Charms Creations XO, one of them a DIY. 

I really love how this layout turned out, despite not being the photo I had in my head to use for this moodboard.
