The smart way


The smart way

I haven't had much time to craft lately. The nephews have been staying over 2 weekends in a row plus a few more days this week [their parents went on vacation without them]. I managed to finish this one last night. :)


I wanted to document the smart way my littlest nephew J tackles the slide at the playground.


I was inspired by the challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous to use journaling blocks.

Supplies: Echo Park Papers, Crate Paper stickers, buttons, white pen, brown pen.

P/s: Don't forget about my guest Helen's modern shabby challenge. It ends on Friday! :) And if you haven't done so already, check out my new challenge site LESSology! There's a giveaway going on! :)

    Woah Yvonne this is brilliant! I love the way the rays look like they are radiating out from the tube J is in - very clever! Ooooh looking after the nephews a lot must be driving you a little crazy - what a good sister you are though...I have never been able to go on vacation without my kids, in 18 years!
