"Fete Day Fun" Created By Katie Howard

Another busy day for me {am I ever NOT busy? LOL} Today Katie is sharing with us her stunning layout for Scrap the Boys
...

"Hi there, I hope everyone has been having a great Thursday. My day has involved running around, in and out. The kind of day that you get home and can't quite figure out why you are so exhausted!
Today I am sharing with you a page that I created for the current Scrap the Boys challenge. This month is an awesome sketch so check it out if you haven't already.

I decided to try something a little different too, I used some pretty non traditional boy colours, but it suited the theme of the page so I think it worked! I was also trying to use up my stash of Pink Fresh goodies, and would you believe that there was a Charms Creation that worked in with the whole theme too!"

Katie used Charms Creations Cute Clouds -

you can order them in the shop HERE

Happy Thursday!

"Boy" Created by Charm

Hey guys, yet another busy crazy day for me with my munchkin turning SIX today, so madly making cupcakes for her school friends & cake for us later...

HOWEVER, I am not sharing a layout about her, but I thought I would share my sample for Scrap the Boys for September -

 

its another sketch challenge and I thought I would take advantage of the embellishment clusters and use LOTS of Charms Creations on it!

What do you think? I thought it would be TOO much, but looking at it now, the B/W with a touch of Red works well!

Check out the shop HERE for the Charms Creations Embellishments!

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

"Love My Boy" created by Sandra Brimelow

Today Sandra is sharing with us - a layout she has created for Scrap the Boys - she definitely know how to cluster using Charms Creations! I think Sandra is the first to scrap a layout using the brand spanking new colour combo White, Stripe & Denim too!

"Good morning scrappers, it is my turn to share today. So I have chosen to share the layout I have created for the August Scrap the Boys challenge. As mums, we are allowed to be in the photo because of the challenge, lol. For my layout, I chose to use some of the new X and O embellies that have the gold layer, as this picked up on the gold tones in my patterned paper. I also added one of the very new stripey hearts.

These embellies are available in store now!

ORDER Silver Glitter & Gold XO's HERE!

ORDER White, Denim & Stripe Mini Heavenly Hearts HERE!

If you would like to take a closer look at my layout, follow this link: HERE!

Happy Saturday & Happy Scrapping Everyone!

My Little Boy Created by Katie Howard

Today is Katie's turn to share! Please check out her gorgeous layout and also pop on over to her blog for details on the *bokeh* technique!

"Hi Everyone! Well, I am here today to share one of my latest projects that was also a trial of a new technique. Have you seen or heard about the "bokeh" inking technique? I recently saw some people using this and I have to say it caught my attention with its soft and dreamy look. When I saw what the challenge for Scrap the Boys was for this month the image reminded my of this look so I thought that I might have a play! And what is scrapbooking about, playing of course!

So in the page that I created I used one of the new x's (or crosses) layered in a little cluster. Do you cluster or layer with your Charms Creations? They are such a good embellishment to do this with, you can tuck stickers, die cuts or journal spots underneath and layer word stickers, enamel dots, resin or flair buttons on top, so many options!"

If you want to get your hands on the "X"s you can either order them as a set of "XO"s {set of 2 or 4}

ORDER HERE!

OR turn the +Plus+ Signs into "X"s and order seperately or in a set of 3 - ORDER HERE

 

Happy Thursday & Happy Creating!

Scrap the Boys August Challenge

This month at Scrap the Boys we have this image to take inspiration from to create a layout.

This is what I have come up with...

I am so glad that I was able to use this photo - there are not many photos of Chei around these days I realised, and am going to make more effort to try and take more of HIM, more by himself!

My boy is a sensitive boy, but doesn't like to cuddle to much {or that's what he wants us to believe!} 

He's so very smart, and a bit of a cutie too I think!

and LOOK! I have used *DIY* XO's which I have altered to match the background layout - I have watered down Dylusions Ink.

ORDER THEM HERE!

What I did was create the background first, by squirting one squirt of ink into the ink cap and then a few squirts of water, then spilled the water onto the cardstock. I have then used a heatgun to dry it slightly, but then used paper towel to soak up the excess ink/water.

I have then dabbed the ink soaked paper towel onto the XO's until they have soaked up enough of the colour...

I loved how they turned out...

I also used a Charms Creations Cute Cloud as well, something I am loving to use and seeing others use a lot lately on their pages too..

They will be back in the shop SOON!

I hope that you all have a chance to Scrap YOUR boys!

Thanks for visiting & Happy Creating!

Scrap the Boys - Mid Month Reveal...

I am totally in LOVE with the colours for this months Scrap the Boys Mood Board Challenge!

Isn't it just fabulous!

Here is my sample for it...

I had to scrounge for a photo that would match, as I have realised I am lacking photos of JUST Chei in them! I found this adorable photo of him in my old stash. I seriously don't even know when or where it was taken!

It matched, so why not?

Here's some closeups...

I had fun using dylusions ink for the base, and then used Gelatos to create the circles. Outlined them with White Sharpie Paint pen...

I've used a Charms Creations Super Star from my stash that matched perfectly! 

And Kellie Stamps Arrows using Tim Holtz ink...

A simple but fun, and I think effective layout?

Anyway, hope you all get to have a play, still plenty of time to create for it - so get out those boy photos!

Thanks for popping by!
