Scooter Boy

Wowzers! Two posts in one day - what's wrong with me? LOL I was blog hopping this morning, checking out all the new challenges for the month. I haven't played along for a little while so thought I would give this months challenge at Kraft It Up a go. It's a sketch challenge this month. Here is the sketch:


And here is my layout:
We were in Dalby on the weekend for a friend's 40th. There is a skate park at the end of their street, so the kids borrowed some scooters and went for a ride. Living on a farm, there aren't too many places to ride a scooter so Luke and I were amazed at how good Lachlan and Michala were! They had no fear going down the little ramps. They looked like they had been doing it for years. Kids obviously have no fear.



I've used some foam tape to lift a couple of the photos. Can you spot the gorgeous embellies from A Lil Something on there too?


I've misted the background with Mister Hueys (I am in love with this stuff!) and stamped the grid pattern. And added some chipboard cogs.



And used some more Pink Paislee alphas and alphabet beads for my title.


Thanks so much for stopping by...
