Beautiful Boy

I am slowly working my way through my big Photobox order I did earlier this year. This LO is for the July Sketch Challenge over on the Sarah's Cards blog here.

I have had a big tidy and reorganisation of my scrapping space and I can now use my Cricut really easily on my desk. I also rediscovered stash that I had misplaced into the wrong box etc and I have sorted all that as well.


This LO uses Studio Calico stamps from kits and the Summer Stamp School set with Hero Arts Soft Sand ink. The papers are Echo Park This and That a range I love. I have a 6 x 6 pad. Their new range designed by Allison Kreft Abad is just lush. I also slipped in a advert card from a Studio Calico kit as they frequently have great patterns on them. The wood veneer heart and arrow is also Studio Calico. The tree is a Pink Paislee Hometown Summer rubber charm. There are also rub-ons from Cosmo Cricket that are very old and a Jenni Bowlin journaling label. Both were rediscovered and have been put to good use.

This picture is of my oldest son at a park last year. I think it just captures him perfectly. TFL.x
