Got it from their Momma

My boys.. They got it all from their Mumma..
Some good things, some a bit dodgy like my clumsiness, but when I look at them and their inner souls I know they are mine! :) 

When I decided that I wanted to start scrapping again after the 2 yrs break, this is one of the first challenge blogs I went back to for inspiration. And imagine my excitement when I saw this photo board for their challenge! Let's face it, ya'll know it was perfect to get me started in my scrapping again.. woot woot.. 

Thank you Scrap The Boys for giving me something so fun and enticing to work with.


Got It From Their Momma




I understand that some Aussie's might be questioning my spelling choice for the title. But for anyone who knows my family, Hunter my young boy calls me "Momma" and has done since he was very little.. 

He actually helped me with this layout too. 
I was not allowed to do anything without his permission as he watched from over my shoulder while playing with his cars. Of course every now and again, he would pop over and insist that he needs to do the next part. lol. It was quite special creating this with him.



We started out with a fun Tim Holtz stencil and some clear gel paste. 



The next steps were messy and fun. 
Clear gel paste - Hunter drew on the hashtags - white gesso - pink mist - blue mist - white gesso


The gesso is suppose to look like the clouds on the mood board and the stars like the mountain peaks. 
Hunter No automatic alt text available.

Look, we even managed to get in the head phones. 
Honestly, I actually struggled with ideas for the embellishments. Hunter of course was helpful in his own way, but I had to get up and walk away. It was while making dinner that I decided that we simply weren't going to have too many added embellishment ellements as I want to photos and colours to be the focus. I don't want to eye to catch on the embellishments as much as I want them to catch on the cool hashtags that Hunter drew on.

WHAT DID THEY GET FROM THEIR MUMMA SPECIFIC FOR THIS LAYOUT?

There were two things I had in mind while making this layout that I am so extremely proud and happy that they both got of "mine".. 

Sense of Adventure!
They are both very fun and always up for some wild adventure that I take them on, usually by accident. Lane has far too many stories of us getting lost in the big city even while using a GPS. lol
Hunter enjoys that I play in rain, climb things and make a fool of myself most of the time. 

Eyes!
My favourite feature about myself are my eyes. I am very lucky to be able to look at my boys and see my eyes looking back. Big, Beautiful Brown eyes full of entertainment seeking impatience and lashes so darn big that we have to be careful when picking Sunglasses and Swimming Goggles. lol. 

Thank you for joining me today. Don't forget to check back tomorrow to see my next creation. In the mean time, jump on over to the Scrap The Boys blog for more details and inspiration to link up your own layout. 

Happy Scrapping, Toni.. xoxo
