Scrap the Boys September DT share

Well, there you go, it is September already. Could someone kindly tell me where August went, lol.
So the new challenge is ready at Scrap the Boys. I am sure you will love this:

Who could not resist doing this challenge?

I have used a photo of a great nephew, Hendrix. This was him as a little baby, he is now 2. 

I love how he is looking at the camera, just like the image in the challenge. 

I created a mixed media background, which was a lot of fun, and it really went well with what he was wearing. 

I included a Charms Creations denim super star, which was also a perfect match to what he was wearing in the photo.

Show Us Your Stuff May challenge

So the new challenge at Show Us Your Stuff, was designed by me. Ordinarily I'm not fond of tic tac toe challenges, I find them a bit restrictive, so I thought it was time to challenge myself as well as everyone else, lol. Here is the challenge:

This photo of great nephew Hendrix was in my pile of photos to be scrapped, and I thought could work well for this challenge. I chose the line embossing, buttons and ribbon. I wanted to use some of my stash, lol, I used the smallest amount of ribbon, but it is there. 

The background paper was just right for this cute photo, along with the pastel colours. I have embellished simply with buttons, die cuts a flair from D-lish Scraps. I also added a Charms Creations heavenly heart and cute cloud.

CSI case file # 252 - Wonderful

The new case file is ready at CSI, and this one is a really nice one:

I really loved the colours for this one, and chose this as my inspiration for my layout.

I used this photo of a great nephew - Hendrix, enjoying his first baby cino with his mum.

I also took inspiration for the layout from the image, and used the spots and also the bird. I did a partial frame around the photo and matting on 3 sides, with patterned paper. The background was done with texture paste and Ken Oliver colour bursts. 

I embellished the layout using these die cuts with smilie faces, they seemed fitting. I added some spotty brads, a wood veneer bird, and finished it all of with Charms Creations XO set and smilie face O.

Scrap the Boys March challenge

Hi I am back with another challenge for Scrap the Boys, with this awesome sketch.

I don't usually like a big themed piece on my layouts, but this time the star worked and was perfect for my layout. 

I had so much fun creating this layout of Hendrix, on his first birthday, really the photo helped me out with this layout. 

I added some ink to the background, and then cut out the star from this awesome paper that suited the photo so well. I added some die cuts, and stars and arrows as embellishments, and finished it off with a Charms Creations super star. 

Have fun with this sketch is all I can say. 

Ooh, what's this

Scrap the boys November challenge

I haven't done a challenge at Scrap the Boys for a few months now, not from want of doing, it's been a time thing. This month however, I had some time to do the challenge, and I loved this challenge. I love colour challenges, they are so versatile.

How awesome are these colours for boys? 

I decided to just stick to traditional scrapping for this challenge. I mean to say, we have so many papers and embellishments to use, we should use them, so that's what I did. The photo is of great nephew Hendrix on his first birthday. I really love how all of these colours worked together.
