Being a Boy .............

I got back home yesterday having spent four lovely days with my daughter in law and grandson in Memus.  Callum is now 20 months, chatters away and runs everywhere.  Nana has come home with very sore knees and had to tighten the notch in her trouser belt - nice to lose some weight without trying!  We had a great time visiting the park, which he loves, playing on the trampoline, in and out of the castles and forts and feeding the ducks.  We did manage a bit of finger painting and stamping on Monday morning when Mummy was at work.  Lots of fun! if a little messy ...........

I came home with some lovely photographs and when I saw the colours for the second September challenge at Once Upon a Sketch, I just had to use one of them.  I should have been hoovering and tidying up, but this was much more fun!

Here is the Case File:

For my evidence I used:  packaging (blue label), labels, circles and buttons

For my testimony:  handwritten journalling

 

 

 I have purposely not bought boy or child papers for my scrapbooking but looked around for items which I might be able to use with my (vast and evergrowing) paper collection and bright coloured inks.  The stars and heart were blue and lime green, so these were altered with red pepper alcohol ink, as were the title letters in order to create a co-ordinating look.  I also used red pepper and sailboat blue Colour Wash for my background along with a little gesso for texture.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope it is not as autumnal with you as it is here.
