The Challenge image
I was inspired by Jasmine Shea's technique in this months Scrapbook Creations Mag to use all those strips we save from the end of our Pattern Paper . Such a great way to use all those strips up . I glued them over a Piece of PP that I no longer like and brushed gesso over the top as per Jasmine's technique. In some places I made the gesso lighter to let more of the Pattern through.
I punched down one side and then decided I wanted to place a couple of layers underneath to form a frame. So...... I trimmed the punched edge off as I liked the rose showing through on the other side. When I trimmed the punched side I thought it looked pretty cool and put it aside to use on another layout at some stage. But..... then I thought it might look good tucked in between the two layers on the opposite side. I tried it and I liked it :)
The cogs are from the Trinket Track , the Moments photo tab is from Scrapfriends . The Chipboard is I think is a 2Crafty one from Craftqueen ,which I have embossed . Old twine and muslin. Cobweb trim from Craftqueen and the gorgeous flair button is from StudioFourteen40, I am loving their flairs.
This little boy is turning 60 tomorrow !
Thank you for calling, please let me know you were here
Love and Sunshine

Fabulous! That is one CORKER of a pic & the way you've done the brown frame works sooo well......errr...guess who throws those bits of paper out???!!!!!!!
Hi Mary. I love how you have used those strips of paper to create your background. The punched strips make your page look as if torn from a wire-bound journal.. great look. Fabulous photo and embellishments. Thank you for joining with us again at P & P this month. Cheers, Di.
And this little boy is adorable - Happy Birthday! I love the techniques you have used Mary, they are really effective and a brilliant way to use up all those scraps. Thanks for playing along with us :)
You have done a great job on the bg paper, it look super cool. I love your cute LO and the history behind the photo, this is fantastic :) Thank you for playing along with our challenge at Pixels and Paper.
Oh that photo is so cute, and so much like the photo for inspiration too.. love the idea of using those strips of paper too.. the gesso softens it really well..great take on the challenge..
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! The background and clustering looks amazing!
What great idea! Most of the time I throw those paper edges out so I'll have to start saving them. I like the punched edges & layering & that blue button is very cute. And what a great pic!
