Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge

Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs: No Patterned paper... My specialty. (See previous post!) I love creating colourful pages using just plain bazzills. 

I also love creating pages that have layers of memories. This layout will remind me of not only of Deans attraction to the camera but also of his favourite PJs, a birthday present that made him so snuggly and cuddly when he put them on and all the special memories I have of him in these PJ's. 

I love using bazzills to copy clothing of the time. One of my favourite examples was Drew's special overalls:

And Drew's funny t-shirt "He Started It"

All so simple, yet they document important memories and anecdotes of the boys lives. 

For the challenge entry, I used ROBOTZ font to copy the words on the clothes. Adding in Dean in green.

The alien is from Boys will be Boys. 

I used Mickey Mouse font for the title. I'm glad the whole page turned out busy looking. It matches his PJs perfectly.

It was one of those scrap nights last night where I told the girls my plan for this page and they sighed, exhausted by just thinking about the amount of problem solving I had to do to make it happen. But I did it!

Thanks for another fun challenge Frosted Designs!

Crikits Gel Pens

I just love this page. When Scrappy-Go-Lucky first released their Cri-Kits Gel Pens which fit in your cricut, they ran a competition to win a Gypsy.  I had to enter... this was my entry. I love what the gel pens can do... Using them with Sure Cuts a Lot program, I did all the writing and the pictures on the paper, before I cut out the letters. This is my best example of a boy page I think... Because every mummy of boys knows you work all day... and then some!!!  This whole page was created only using Bazills. The Gel Pens can help you create fancy paper that is also unique from anything you can buy in a shop.

The grass was cut from Plantin Schoolbook font and the Titles are from the Mickey Mouse Cartridge. 

I came second in the competition and was thrilled to receive a $100 gift voucher... spent on more cartridges of course!
