Scrap the Boys DT - Me and my best friend

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

Scrap the Boys

I adore this mood board; there is something a bit pugnacious about the dog, which reminds me of occasional grumpy moods our Grand Boys display.   But put a Puppy within cooee and they instantly become the kindest, gentlest kids on the block.

I chose an older paper because it went with the T-shirt and the black accents to match the dog!

The papers are from Crate Paper, Cool Kid, "Wild One" (red)

 and "Buddy" (Black and White)

The title, the circle and the paw prints are all free cut files from Paper Issues. I thought they were perfect for this simple page.

When we collect the Boys after school and take them home, the joyous barks from the back garden can be heard as we pull into the driveway.  Then, no matter what sort of a day they've had, Maggie is there to cuddle, to chase and to listen to their concerns.  

Every Boy needs a Dog and every Dog needs a Boy or three.

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.

Scrap the Boys DT, October 2018 - Navy and pink Moodboard

Hello Scrappy Friends, welcome back to my blog today where I'm sharing a 
Design Team layout for Scrap the Boys.

 The challenge is to use these colours to scrap about about the boy/s 
in your life.  I just love the deep blue and pink combo.

Despite one of my Grand Boys being vehemently opposed to wearing pink now that he is the ripe old age of seven and a half, I was able to find a photo of him in the dreaded colour!

 I chose a  Maja paper, The Denim & Friends collection, "Worn Indigo."

Next I cut a file from Paper Issues, called "Stitching Heart Burst",

before layering it over a "Hot Pink ombre" paper from Echo Park.

  

To add interest and texture to the page, I filled the heart with some Pink Fresh sequins in a shaker format.  I thought it worked well with the title.

The title was cut from Authentique "Lacy" ( the reverse side), using "Butterfly Heart" cut file, from Paper Issues.

The little die cut tags around the photo are from Spellbinders.

We do hope you will join us this month!  There will be a scrappy prize for the Australian winner and a guest design spot for the international winner.

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