Scrap the Boys October challenge 

is to include a handmade boy embellishment. 

Here is my seriously over-embellished layout of my 

eldest at 2 years old. 

I am loving the handmade stuff out there at the moment. My favourite new obsession is the Chip Chop Shop.  She makes the cutest little fimo shapes. I would never have used doilies on my boy pages if it wasn't for her bright bold colours.

 Then the Shabby Wrinkled ribbon is from the brilliant recycler at Prairie Bird Boutique. It is so much fun to work with.

I just moved house, and like everyone, have a tonne of extra keys I found and I have no clue what lock they belong to. This is a nice way to keep them safe. Just in case... My copics coloured this one up beautifully. 

The Washi Tape is from Sawyers Place. All great patterns and prices and she is even wanting to know what kinds of designs people want... Have an input into your fav tape! Love a business who listen to their buyers.

Then I used Chipped Sapphire distress ink on bubble wrap and gave the layout some extra texture.

Don't you just want to squeeze his cute little cheeks! 

As much as I love handmaking things... when there is so many gorgeous artists out there creating wonderfully priced awesomeness... why wouldn't you support them making it!

Me? Hand make that kind of cuteness? I tried and failed. 

I'm glad to keep them all in business.

My gosh, sounding like a sales person, but I'm not. 

Just love finding good companies that make 

my scrapping easy and fun!  

Thanks for a fun challenge Scrap the Boys!
