Time Flies


Scrap The Boys - Nov 15

Trying to get  a few challenges in before the end of the month.  I had a clear idea of what I wanted for this LO and it just seemed to come together really well... which was a nice change as I have been struggling a bit with my LO's lately.

The 2nd challenge for STB this month was to use chipboard and alter it in some way.  I used a gorgeous balloon chipboard embellie from Scrapmatts which I backed in pp then went over in porcelain Luminescence... unfortunately you can't see the glimmer very well.  I used an old Cherry Arte chipboard clock and added wings which were stamped with the Tim Holtz visual artistry stamp set, then I flicked some ochre paint over them with a toothbrush to tie in with the Bo Bunny Cambridge & Scrap Within Reach pp's.   I also stamped some balloons on chipboard with the Kaiser Up Up & Away stamp set.  The mustard cs was put through the Diamonds in the Rough Cuttlebug embossing folder as it went perfectly with the pattern on the background paper.

The pics are of Luke now at 17 and when he was my darling little baby boy at 2.  Like the title says "Time Flies"... the journaling reads "where does the time go??? It seems like in the blink of an eye you have gone from my cute  little munchkin to this handsome young man."

Thanks for stopping by :)
