SCRAP THE BOYS CHALLENGE

Hello people
When I saw the challenge over at Scrap the Boys  I knew exactly what I wanted to scrap, as I had come across this photo a few days ago. The theme is Man's Best Friend and this is a photo of my eldest son with his first dog that his Granddad had given him



The PP is Kaiser . I have used washi tape here and there on the sides . Some stamping , I am trying to use my stamps more.
The flair button is StudioFourteen40  . The cogs are from the trinket track , the gold beads are from Craftqueen 
I have added journalling on the tag. Unfortunately it had a sad ending as Beau was a young dog and a bit silly and a little boy visiting left the gate open and it had a sad ending 
:( that I won't go into here.
Some close ups 
The moments photo tab is Pink Paislee from scrapfriends and they come in a packet with heaps of sayings


Thanks so much for calling by. Don't forget the challenges over at OrangePaperie  where we have the lovely Val Thorpe as GD for the month and Color Me Scrappy for a fantastic colour palette and sketch .
I am a wee bit , well a LOT excited as someone I have been wanting to meet for awhile is coming to stay with me for a couple of days :) Yes I am sitting here with a big smile on my dial
 Love and Peace

Meanwhile, I LOOVE this one - those little hot air balloons & the stars...just delish:):) I can see a chevron stamp we both rather like in there, too:):)

Mary I love this layout... I have some wood paper and when I have tried you use it it just looks wrong. Love the weathered feel of this and that is such a nice photo too. Love the embellies... a happy feel to this page even though the story had a sad ending. Gorgeous... Now WHO are you getting to meet :D

Mary I really love this page & the kaiser base coat is perfect along with the colours you've added. I haven't made a boy page for quite a while (mainly because I struggle with them) but you've inspired me, thanks my lovely xx
