Show Us Your Stuff March Challenge

Another month, another challenge. This time at Show Us Your Stuff, we have this moodboard to inspire:

How yummy are those cakes? I actually found this a challenge, as I wasn't sure if I should scrap about a cake, or a birthday, in the end I chose a birthday, so this is about Kieran's 21st. 

So I created a mixed media background, but because the photo was so busy, I didn't want to overwhelm it all. Keeping to the primary colours and black helped with this. I had a decoration from his party still in my stash so used that as my title. I added some washi tape, and die cuts. My handmade embellishments include foam arrow, emoji button and spotted fabric button from Burdy's embellies, who is sponsoring this months challenge. I have also included an arrow from Charms Creations.

Scrap The Boys October challenge

End of October already, I managed to sneak in the challenge at Scrap the Boys, a sketch, awesome - I love sketches.

My mother recently gave me these photos of my son when he was 2 (he is now 23). Ihad forgotten about these pics, lol. He was having breakfast with his favourite companion of the time, Brown Ted. 

It seems that with the age of my photos, my layout took a turn to my vintage stash - I really pulled out some of the old stuff for this. I have got old patterned paper and felt fusion - remember that? It seemed to work for this layout and my photos. 

I added a Charms Creations arrow, and a cork embellishment and arrows from Burdy's embellies.

Thanks for looking at my layout and for any comments you may leave.
