Scrap the Boys!

Here is my layout for this months Scrap the Boys challenge, where the criteria was recycling...to include some 'boy related' packaging, etc. I used a clothing tag from a recent shirt purchase, which is simply 'fitting' on a boy layout! ;)

I also included a 'Uno' card & playing card, which also worked rather well with the colour scheme & as my son is 8 here ;) Misting again, with a very neglected Tim Holtz barbwire mask, & then I cut part of it to slip the photo underneath.


Loving this wet weather...perfect excuse to stay in & scrap, while the kids 'veg out' while watching TV & playing computer games. The biggest mistake I made was reorganising my scrap space...haha after creating a bigger mess, I discovered a really embarrassing amount of alphas & a whole host of things I'd forgotten about!!! ;)

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) they really do bring a smile to my face...I appreciate them all x

Happy scrapping!

    Fantastic recycling! I think I might pull out the stapler again, they really add to the 'grunge-iness' and scream BOY!
