STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS ~ PIXLES AND PAPER CHALLENGE

Hi all, hope you are all enjoying this lovely day .
I came across a challenge site via Lizzy's blog http://crumbsofcreativity.blogspot.com.au/  called Pixles and Paper and when I saw their current challenge , straight away it took me to a photo of my eldest son when he was little
this is the challenge
so it inspired me to dig the photo out and scrap it

I think Joe is about 18mths old here, he is now nearly 34!
The flair button is from StudioFourteen40 I am loving them.
Some vintage twine that was my Mums . Little yellow flowers from Scrapfriends as is the adorable picture tab, they are great value, the pack comes with different sayings, there is 24 pieces in a pack and I cut them in half , so I get double :)

I found this layout hard to start with , as the PP from BoBunny is so gorgeous on its own. I didn't want to ruin it. But I eventually got started.
and finished. I don't think the photo does the colours justice. But very happy to get this sweet memory scrapped . 
Frightening how quickly the years fly by, so remember...... Stop and Smell the flowers 
Love and Peace
Mary x
