Kaisercraft January Saturday Sketch #1

Love a good double layout! The sketch over at Kaisercraft blog looked like a challenge, In fact I had been staring at this sketch by Alison Wood all week:

But then I got out the Fun in the Sun Kaiser paper collection and then the whole layout plan came together in ten minutes! It had all the elements I needed. Phew!


All I had to add to the page was the title. I love writing titles in exactly how the boys pronounced their words at their given age. Like most kids, Drew used to have a slight lisp as he was learning his sounds at 2 years old.
For some reason, Drew and Dean have always called me Mumma, a more American way of pronouncing Mum. In Australia, 'mumma' is rarely used and I often get questioned by other mothers on it. We never encouraged or discouraged it either way and certainly don't care either way. It was a great opportunity to scrap that unique little habit of theirs.

The font is Birthday Cakes. I love it! 





I found a marquee box I liked in Accent Essentials (the cartridge that has turned out to be very essential!) And I used the thin lines of the patterned paper to make a journal box with a colourful difference. 
 The little tag topper was from Fabulous Finds.



Thanks for an awesome challenge again Kaiser.
I am really enjoying your Saturday Sketches!

Just one girly one...

Hi! I have organised my scrapping space, and even though this is a blog dedicated to boy pages, I thought I might put this one anyway to show my scrapping area.

It is only clean for about twenty minutes before the paper starts flying and little itty bits of scrap start falling everywhere so I took the opportunity to snap some shots.

I am so proud of my purchase of the cupboard from officeworks and I built the paper thing on the side myself and lifted the keyboard tray so I could slide my unfinished work on it.

The minute I saw that cupboard I know it would make an awesome scrap space.




The font for the title was Calligraphy but I turned the M backwards and squished it up a little. I used Fabulous Finds for the little heart charms... My Xyron ran out of sticker paper one day before this layout... I would have done anything to have a refill for my xyron to make all those hearts!!! It was fiddly!!! I used glossy accents instead. The stickles which link the photos to the main photo is Tiara. I absolutely love that colour!

Now two days later... I have to tidy it up again.
