Messy and Funny

Here are 2 more layouts I did on the weekend. It was special to scrapbook my kids while away; I missed them heaps.

This one I did of my son cooling down in the sprinklers one hot Sunday afternoon. I did it for the Scrap the Boys challenge of a grungy/arty/messy layout.

 I used a range of papers and distressed the edges to create a more textured page. I used texture paint with a splatter mask and also stamps and paint to create my background.

The next layout I had fun doing of my youngest, who will not let us take a normal photo of her because she thinks it's hilarious to pull faces and then check the photo out on the camera. This layout is for the challenge of buttons at Child's Play Challenge Blog. I've wanted to play along for a long time now and finally I got a challenge done.

 I made a banner with the photos to create a fun page. I love putting buttons on my layouts and so this challenge was nice to do.

 My cute balloon which I covered the back with pattern paper and blotted some white paint over. 

Some prima flowers and a chipboard button.

I have a few layouts to put finishing touches to and I'll be back to post them. Even though I did a lot of shopping at the shop Suzanne brought, I also managed to get some scrapbooking done ☺.
