Whimsical Wednesday Movement Fun

Hi Everyone! 
I am so excited to be on the Design Team for 
Whimsical Wednesday. 

This week's challenge is INTERACTIVE FUN - Add some movement into your project.  

My son has a Handy Manny Interactive clock book he is obsessed with and we read it every night! I couldn't help but plan a layout. But then... something happened that made scrapping this event BETTER!!! Drew was singing Baa Baa black sheep and this is what he sang: 
hahahahahahaha lololololol *grab the camera* hahahaha... 
He really is obsessed.
My children are scrap pages just waiting to happen!

Asked him to sing it again, with his Handy Manny shirt on... See his singing photo above... oh so cute.

So I copied the characters from the book. Turned some colouring in pages into SCAL files. Made sure the tools could actually move. Cut them onto chipboard, covered it in bazzills and then added detail, layers and eyes. Handy Manny was a mix of Photoshop and watercolours.
 I also added the look of movement with curvy lines and wonky character shapes.
He got a few of the words wrong, but it's his version at this point in time and such a precious thing to remember.
 'Squeeze' can open and shut.
 The orange tool has a mouth that slides open and shut. 
Then there's the little tool box where the Saw and Screwdriver come out. 


Drew loves reading his scrapbooks in bed each night too, so I thought this would be the perfect way to let him play with his layout and they are sturdy enough to survive the experience.  He even tried to unscrew the embellishment screws. Lol.

 

The cute sheep face and tool eyes are 
done with Peachy Keen Stamps. 


Now my only problem was keeping his hands off it long enough to get a photo of the double layout!



There you go!


Now wiggle, jump, squeeze and hop your way over to Whimsical Wednesday to see some more interactive fun and join this weeks challenge!

    Okay questions first...How did you turn coloring pages into cut files..and what are Bazzils. Now onto the LO. Fantastic. No detail is missed on this one and I love how the tools pull out, and one with a sliding mouth...OMG! So genius. You always amaze me with your LO. Your son is so cute, and he looks like he is having so much fun playing with his page. Fantastic job with the challenge. Hugs!

    This is for sure the coolest Layout I've ever seen!!! I love how all the tools move and that they come out of the tool box. Also your little boy is so darn cute!! I love how you put the words of the song on the LO the way he sang them. It is going to be so fun when he gets older to see that. Absolutely amazing job on this challenge!! Tfs and have a great day. :)

    Thia ia fabo! I love the look of pure joy on Drew's face. How special that his page is so tactile and that he is allowed to touch and play. Not just a page to put away for the future. This is what Scrapbooking should be about. Those priceless song lyrics too....love it.
