Well it seems scrapbook pages a re a bit like buses - none for ages then two at a time! Today's page was inspired by the picture challenge at Scrap the Boys.

It was all the colours, the sugar strands and the sweet treats that caught my eye.

And although I know he's not a dinosaur I thought my grandson's face echoed the pleased expression from the inspiration photo.

The background paper is one that's been lurking in my stash forever and I added a stack of papers and embellishments to one side. The netted sequins were a gift from my Australian buddy Lizzy Hill.

Supplies:

Papers: Cocoa Vanilla, wild At Heart; background paper and scraps from my stash

Stickers: Simple Stories, Vintage Botanicals & Bliss; Cocoa Vanilla, Boys rule; Jillibean Soup

Huge thanks for dropping by today, I really appreciate you taking the time.

Keep safe, stay home and craft instead!

I've a bright and fun scrapbook page to share today using the inspiration picture from Scrap The Boys as my starting point.

I'm still playing catch up with those Summer holiday snaps and thought the bright colours and comic book splat of the picture suited this one perfectly.

I used Uniko's Explosion & Explosion Additions stamps and dies to create my splats and title word. I added these to the patterned paper layers along with some stickers and enamel dots to create three embellishment areas round the photo.

Here's a closer look at the largest area which fits down the far right of the page.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Explosion, Explosion Additions
Ink: Versafine Clair, nocturne
Papers: Echo Park, Celebrate Easter; Jillibean Soup, Neopolitan Bean Bisque; scraps from my stash
Dies: Uniko Explosion Collection
Stickers: Simple Stories, Sunshine & Happiness, Bliss, Crafty Girl, Say Cheese, So Rad
Embellishments: MME enamel dots, Cut & Paste

Huge thanks for you time today. I'm so pleased you came to visit my blog.

And keep crafting!

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page I created using the mood board from Scrap the Boys.

Here's my page:

I thought reaching a double digit birthday was grown up enough to suit the dark colour palette of the mood board. So i started with a plain black card and pulled out lots of scraps in shades of grey.

I thought the brick and checked papers and the grey stars captured the mood of the board's photo. And I also included a scrap of Happy Birthday card plus some inspirational word phrases.

Old enough now to cut your own birthday cake and far too quick at blowing out the candles for me to capture it on camera. And just look who's photo bombing the birthday pic - who  would have a teenage older brother!

Supplies:
Papers: Mostly scraps, but the stars were from Simple Stories Let Freedom Ring
Alphas: AC thickers, Subway; Pinkfrsh Studio, Just a Little Lovely
Stickers: Freckled Fawn, puffy camera; Tim Holtz idea-ology small talk; Vicki Boutin sticker book; Simple Stories, Life in Color
Embellishments: Echo Park, I'd rather be crafting enamel dots

I'm so pleased you had time to drop by today, huge thanks for your time.

And keep crafitng!

I'm sharing another of the pages that I made whilst in my scrapbooking afternoon mode. this time it's all about the boys and uses the theme from Scrap the Boys.

I have quite a lot of photos of my recent trip over to the Isle of Man and decided to go with a grid layout to accommodate a few of them in one go.

Once I'd placed all the pics I used a strip of masking tape to mark the top and bottom lines, removed the photos and use A Colorful Life, Doodle Wheels stencil to add a bit of green to the kraft background paper.

Once the photos were all replaced and adhered I ruled off the grid with a pencil and then added some journalling and embellishments. The butterflies were punched and popped up onto foam dots for added dimension.

Loving the washi stickers from STAMPlorations, just perfect for the colours of this page. And a few arrows to point the way from the journalling to the matching pics just finished everything off a treat.

Supplies:
Papers: AC, kraft cardstock; scraps from my stash
Stencil: A Colorful Life, Doodle Wheels
Ink: SU, old olive
Punch: Martha Stewart, butterflies
Embellishments: MME  Necessities arrows; STAMPlorations, washi stickers; enamel dots from my stash
Alphas: AC Thickers, Memo
