Scrap The Boys DT - "You & Me" October 2018

Hello Scrappy Friends, welcome back to my blog today where 
I'm sharing a DT layout for


You can take this challenge anywhere you want, 
as long as it showcases one of your Boy's/Men and you.
Too easy! - take a look at what the DT have created for your inspiration.


This challenge encouraged me to scrap a photo of my Husband and me; something I rarely do, as I mostly scrap about the Grandchildren.  The photo was taken in 1995 almost a quarter of a century ago. Yikes - no wonder my bones ache! 

The paper was a total splurge when we called into Ballarat on the way home from Melbourne.  I called into the Imagination Factory and fell in love with this paper by Alexandra Renke. The water colour flowers took my eye and I just had to have them.  I think they look lovely with the photo. 


As the paper is busy I wanted to keep the page simple.  I  "smooshed" various shades of Tim Holtz Distress Oxides to create a marbled look on the title.
The title is a cut file from Silhouette Studio.


The die cut border is from Uniquely Creative and the little date tag is an oldie from Heidi Swapp.

I hope you will feel inspired to play along and be eligible for a prize 
or a Guest Design Team Spot.

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