Scrap the Boys May Challenge

This month over at Scrap The Boys there is a super fun challenge to scrap your boys getting dirty or messy!!!! We would also like to see your photos inspire your layout! Well I went to town with this one!!! Found some pics of Harry enjoying the red icing off his 1st birthday cake and used that colour throughout the layout. Here it is!

I used an old pizza box for the background and had heaps of fun layering things!!! Make sure you pop over for a visit and get some inspiration from the other great Design Team layouts!!! Thanks for dropping by.

One for Sophie

When we were home on Easter holidays Sophie decided she would like to scrap with me, which was really nice! We were lucky enough to stumble across a challenge page for younger scrappers over at Show Us Your Stuff called appropriately 'Sophie's Corner'. The challenge this month was to use green.

Soph thoroughly enjoyed going through my scraps to find papers to match the pics of Troy and Harry washing the car. She had loads of fun completing this challenge, especially using the mist! I'm sure she will be waiting eagerly to see what the challenge will be next month!!

Daring You To Scrap April Challenge

So I actually got time to complete a couple of monthly challenges this month which was pretty cool. Decided to have a play around at Daring You To Scrap where the prize was an excellent voucher from Polly Scrap Kits. This month they used a sketch and we all know how much I love a good sketch.

I was inspired by the banners and used 3 small photos. They aren't the best pictures but I really just wanted to scrap the memory of Grace and Sophie when they were much younger!! Whenever we go to visit Grace, it doesn't matter what the girls are doing it is always together, following each other like little shadows!! Thanks for dropping by!

RE-CYCLING....

We would like you to re-cycle some form of PACKAGING that is BOY related, this could be toy related, scrapbooking packaging, something from a magazine or book use your imagination....
