Scrap the Boys
The challenge is to to scrap about about a Baby Boy.
Don't you just love this image?
The photo reminded me of a photo I have of my Father which is almost a hundred years old and I chose to work with it in a vintage style.

Rather than use blues or greens, I went with soft Autumn colours, as they reminded me of some of the colours often used in the Art Deco period.
I found a embroidery pattern on pinterest and adapted it a bit to flow around the photo. I stitched it all with DMC embroidery thread.
The Penny Farthing bike chipboard is from Scrapmatts, as is the title.
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.
Fantastic layout! love the elegant and delicate design.
ReplyDeleteI saw this page on FB, the stitching is so fabulous and the photo fabulous! Really love this page...so soft and elegant! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes I can see how the inspiration photo put you n mind of this lovely picture of your Father. I love how you've adapted the embroidery and used the lacy edges to set off the photo perfectly :o)
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably wonderful, Helen! This is an absolute treasure with that fabulous photo (reminds me I think I have one very similar of my dad who would have been 102 last month), wonderful frame & incredible stitched design!
