Here is the LO I have done for the Creative Craft World - Scrap Map Saturday Challenge.
This is the first time I have done a challenge so not sure if I have done it right... but I enjoyed doing it anyway!
















The papers used are Dream Street Papers - Simply Stated collection and some odds and ends (Fancy Pants - Like Father Like Son collection). Title letters are Woodware - coloured with gold acrylic paint and glittered! Edges distressed in Tim Holtz - Old Paper.

And of course DS1 taking centre stage!!

More scapbook pages

This is a gorgeous pic I found of my mum and dad taken at a Masonic Ladies night about 1961!
It was just so perfect for this paper (Papermania ) which is sooo gorgeous by itself all I had to do was add the embellishments (lots of ribbon and sparkly bits!)


And this is my 3 boys with the mega snow man they built last year in their dad's backyard in Kansas. (Can you see the beer bottle!!! :-)  )
Paper is Fancy Pants Hot Chocolate collection

Some more piccies!















These are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pages in my mini series of the boys growing up.

This paper is Fancy Pants Like Father LIke Son - I made most of the embellishments from the paper. Just added a few die-cut leaves and a clock stamp and a clock button found at my local fabric shop.















And this is Will (DS2) about to go for a surf in Cornwall, England.

This paper is Bo Bunny Mama-razzi - I just love it .. it's so masculine and as I adore spots and stripes, it's just perfect. I added some real film negatives and made the title tag ( which is just slotted in with hidden journalling on the back).
