Echo Park Paper

Hampton Art

I have created a scrapbook page for the hop! I know at least half of you clicked away thinking you were at the wrong blog! But, I have to indulge my alter-ego once in a while! (My husband said, "That's nice but it does not look all junked up like most of your work.")

I was just feeling a bit like something more simple, with less junk. And let's face it...it is hard to put a lot of stuff on boy layouts. I simply refuse to put flowers on layouts of my sons. Just cannot do it! This is a photo of my sons, who are nearly 9 years apart in age. I think Nathan was almost 20 and Jonah was 11 in this photo.

I stamped some banners with the Hampton Art/Echo Park All About a Boy stamp set. I then fussy cut the tags and attached them with dimensional foam dots.

I also stamped the tab image from the stamp set and wrote in the year.

I used a craft knife and a straight edge to cut the chevron paper apart to create chevron strips. I die cut some stars to layer on the page. Because, let's face it, the boys are stars in my book! {grin}

Thanks for visiting!
