Mixed Media - Monkey Man

If you been following, and I hope you have,

I posted yesterday all my homemade embellishments here

and I have made a page using one of the monkeys.

The monkeys are big and adorable and I love the googly eyes.

 In the background, I used smoke grey ink on

the Tim Holtz stencil "coffee stains"

with some red raspberry ink since the page
turned out to be almost monochromatic - but I wanted
to use red because of the heart in the quote
and it needs the red ink to tie it all together..

I tossed some buttons "galore" around

which have those itty bitty little fun pieces are well as sequins.

I was inspired by these two itty bitty photos

of Shane at 3 months that was rattling around in my
embellishment bin.

I've scrapped this photo before because it's really

a cute story about my baby having so much fun getting

his photo taken in Walmarts and laughing so loud 

everyone in the store came to see the fun he was having.

However, his nickname was monkeyman because he used

to curl his toes like monkeys do. LOL.

TH album - More ephemera

Raise your hand if you have a ton

of kidlet ephemera.

You know the stuff the kids made and you just

can't part with?

Well...I'm sure Shane had something to do with

this butterfly and it must've been in the early years

because it looks too good.

But I like it and it worked perfect on this page.

I've started using flowers again.

I missed flowers.

Splattered some watercolors around and I'm

running on a theme here that just happened.

So raise you hand if you have smaller pesky

photos that you may have scrapped as the bigger one.

Well they totally work perfect here.

They are now inn my book where I don't care if I did them before

because now they're protected.

Sidetracked mission continued

If you read my previous blog (and I know you did)

whilst on missions in the wayback box

happening upon 

randomness of goodness has a way of preempting 

a mission.

A mission which I'm happy to say was completed.

Anyway substituting some basic grey

as I didn't have PL cards in the correct size

and using some up more BG stickers.

Anyway, random pix of my favorite youngest son

and I just noticed I don't have a "title card."

Gasp.

Went to see my favorite youngest son

We camped in Ochlockonee State Park.

(pronounced Oh Clock Knee)

 Views around the campsite.

 Setting up camp..

 A visitor in the campsite.

 Not an albino.

 My favorite youngest son...

who is also a goof.

 We took a short hike.

 And I got this one of my favorite youngest son SOOC. 

Swoon.

He's grown up so much and is quite an awesome young man.

Daddy long legs poser.

We had a most excellent time.

And you'll be seeing some of these on scrapbook pages.
