Scrapboxx DT layout

Hello friends,


The weekend is nearly over again, wish it didn't go so fast!
Last week I received my Box of goodies from Jane to do my layout for the Box of Scraps over at the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/ , I cannot begin to tell you happy I am to be on the DT , I have always dreamed of being on the Boxx DT. 
In my box of goodies I received the Jillibean soup "Game day" Papers , along with embellishments and alpha's and glimmer Mist. So as the name implies I started to look for a sport photo to scrap. But I came across this photo of my darling GS and the layout took a whole new direction.
The photo was taken on Jedd's 9th Birthday, so the Number pattern paper seemed appropriate and even on the word PP that has a lot of sport words,  there are words that can apply to life. So my layout turned out about being able to choose the direction our life takes, hence the Nelson Mandela quote and the arrows fitted in with the theme as well.
 I was really happy with how the layout turned out and was pleased that I could show that the Papers don't have to be used for just sports layouts, although they are PERFECT for sports layouts.

and I made a little tag to tuck in the side and wrote a little message for Jedd on the back

The only extras  I used on the layout are a bit of muslin, the twine, a doily from the chipchopshop http://www.etsy.com/people/thechipchopshop and the calender journal spot from LilRedRocket http://lilredrocketbuttons.blogspot.com.au/ and the washi tape from D-Lish http://d-lishscraps.openstores.com.au/. Everything else was in the kit! so basically everything you need is in the kit, Plus I have enough product left to make another layout , maybe even two! There is also instructions for this layout when purchasing the kit. So if you would like the kit , pop over to the Boxx and all the work is done for you!

Hope your week is a good one and wishing you Sunshine and Smiles
