"boy" layout for 4 Crafty Chicks & Quick Quotes

I created this layout using the Quick Quotes Friday Challenge 20 Sketch for inspiration!

I included a quote about boys by Robert Powell on the 3 tags in the top right corner.  I also used the Powder Puff Chalking Ink Mocha Mama around the whole edge of my gold cardstock, and brushed the ink all over the surface of the chipboard tags!



4 Crafty Chicks 4CCC-111 Tag You're It challenge

 

I used 3 identical chipboard tags, that I trimmed into banners and brushed with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Inks Mocha Mama. I was thrilled to participate in this challenge because I pulled out my little box of blank tags, and used these 3 that I have had for maybe 7 years?  Yay for using my stash!

 

To create this layout I used these supplies and tools:

•  Bazzill Cardstock
• Simple Stories Year-O-Graphy collection
• Jenni Bowlin calendar tags
• The Paper Studio chipboard alphas
• Jillibean Soup green burlap twine
• October Afternoon font stickers
• Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink
• American Crafts metal photo brads
• Prima distressing tool
• Spellbinders square scalloped die
• Sizzix Big Shot
• green ribbon and tags from my stash



Bo Bunny "On the Go" Mini Album, Part 2

Front Cover

 Pages 2-3

I knew I would have more photos that I wanted to include in my album than would fit on the included pages, so I came up with a very simple fix!

 

Pages 4-5

Pages 6-7

This album documents a big day in the life of our youngest son, and our lives, too!  These are just a few of the pages in the mini album, and there will be more to come later!  The album and most of the supplies are part of the Bo Bunny "On The Go" collection.   I really adore this collection because it basically fits so much about my littlest boy's life, personality, likes and activities!

 

 

Pages 8-9

You may be able to tell that several of the pages in my album are just rectangular in shape, and that is because I cut additional pages from large black sheets of chipboard with my kraft knife, matched the holes and punched!

 

Pages10-11

 

 

Pages 12-13

I added journaling where I could find a tiny spot!

 

Back Cover 



In addition to the collection, I have used some American Crafts thickers, some Jenny Bowlin journaling cards, Quick Quotes Powder Puff chalk inks, October Afternoon font stickers, Adorn It font stickers, a Marvy Uchida journaling marker, lots of Glue Dots, and lots of buttons.

 

I hope you enjoyed being "On the Go" with us!

This layout, and this photo, reflects one of my major personality traits - curiosity - especially about nature and even moreso about animals! One of my favorite activities when we go to any body of water is to search for animal life! And this layout reflects some of my favorite elements to use when I scrap - FLOWERS, pink, polka dots, layers and distressing!  What do you like about nature?
