This is my first COMPLETED challenge layout for the Colour Combos Galore scrap site and I am so pleased with myself … and I stress the completed because I have started multiple LO’s for their challenges and these LO’s begun with much excitement are still languishing in my UFO pile.
My real life gets in the way of scrapping so often… You see, I don’t really have the space to scrapbook at home, and I often have to work at a moments notice so my best laid plans regularly go by the wayside.
But here it is… and it came together like a dream… I’d been wanting to have a go at this kind of LO for a while and when the new challenge was posted, I knew it was exactly the right fit for the photos.
Course, life did again get in the way, and it wasn’t submitted on time, however, it was submitted and thus I am classing this one as a win.
Briefly, the LO is about my son’s very last first day at school. Like most mums, there was always the obligatory ‘first day’ shots but this one was different - his last first day and my first child finishing school. The last year of Zach and Billy riding to school on their bikes before life got infinitely faster on four wheels.
Entirely constructed from my stash ( but for the little homework book chip on the paperclip - thanks Leonie ) I used paint to stamp the clocks at both his start and finish times, a transparency, papers and ribbon from LYB GenZ range that I love so much. Brushed a little navy paint on the background, and attached the transparency frame with silver star eyelets. The bicycle transparency strip is from Hambley.
The photo is a bit dodgy, I know, but time is defeating me at the moment, so I went with 'the one I have' option.
Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin’ …. :)
Lisa.
