Scrap the Boys DT April 2018 - Happy

Hello Scrappy Friends, welcome back to my blog today where I'm sharing a DT layout for
Scrap the Boys.  Sorry to be late to the party, but I've been unwell and just starting to get back into scrapping (a little bit).
 The challenge this month is to scrap about the boy/s (of any age) in your life, 
using geometric shapes.  I chose to use triangles. 
The papers are by one of our Sponsors Cocoa Vanilla, the "You Rock" collection.
The alphabets are from Lilybee Designs - "Sweet Shop."
The cut file is a free one from Paper Issues, "Rad Triangles"

The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads:-
These photos were taken before you started school when you used to come with your twin Brother to spend the day with us.  What happy times we had, baking, crafting, playing in the mud, walking to the park, reading books and enjoying one another's company.   I treasure those days, when you were eager to come and were full of mischief.  One of your favourite things to do was to ring the door bell, (something you didn't have at home) and we pretended that you were Father Christmas or the Easter Bunny arriving with presents or chocolate treats.  Pst!   You still like to ring the door bells a hundred times when you come to visit!   Photos taken 8th April 2014.  Love Granny March 2018

I hope you will feel inspired to play along and be eligible for a prize.

I appreciate your kind comments and so enjoy reading them.  Thank you.

  1. Such a fun idea to use the triangles that way Helen, love the fresh, clean look, it really sets off those photos. Can't believe I've been enjoying your pages about your grandkids since they were babies, how time flies! It's wonderful that you enjoy them so much and you've kept all those memories in these lovely pages :o) xxx

  7. Ah and here come the first of the changes again hey Helen. Like our own kids going to school for the first time...Nothing stays the same and sometimes it is heartsore to realise change is on the way. You have such precious memories of all your grandies and I know it is so hard when they move away or you are not able to see them like you did before. They are beautiful boys and I am sure they will always remember the special times they had with you and if one day they forget they can always look and the very special layouts you created for them with all the heartfelt journalling I think this is so special. This is why I scrap. <3
