YOU ARE CUTE ~ SCRAP THE BOYS

Hello ,
I hope you are dry and warm in this crazy weather in Australia, my heart goes out to those affected by the storms.
Today I would like to share a layout for the challenge at Scrap The Boys. I was looking through some old photo's the other day and came across this one of my eldest son, who I think looks a bit cute. But first the inspiration


I chose to add a bit of red to my layout , because of Joe's red jumper he has on

You are cute 

The little overalls he has on were made by his Grandma. He would probably hate them now, but my Mum was very thrifty and clever and could turn her hand at nearly anything. She made a lot of my children"s clothes, from play clothes made from old clothes to exquisite patterned jumpers & crochet silk baby sets.


I have used quite a few die cuts on my layout and added tulle under my photo. The tulle flowers are from my friend Jo.

The flair is from StudioFourteen40
I suggest you pop over to Scrap the Boys Blog and be inspired by the lovely DT's creations.
Happy Creating
Love, Peace and Kindness

What a cute wee boy in his hand made overalls. Mine had some just like it, which were cut down from my Father's work pants. Nothing went to waste. This is such a striking page with the red and black. Love the hearts and the tulle.
