"Live It Up"
August Off The Rails Challenge

Hi there peeps, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have a boy layout to share with you that was inspired by the
current challenge over at "Off The Rails" challenge blog.
These pics were given to me by a friend & this is her Grandson.
He looks like such a typical boy & so full of life.
Just perfect for this layout.
"Off The Rails" August Sketch & Moodboard
I have used the blue & the blue grey. (both from the left side of the colour swatch)
& the flowers I have added have a yellowish / green in the centres !!!
 
I have taken my inspiration from a number of things.
#1. The wood background in the first pic.
#2. The quote.
#3. The urban grunge feel to the pic with the van.
#4. The black & white photo of the boy having fun.
 
Such a Great inspirational moodboard.

As always I have used some great 2Crafty Chipboard pieces
including this title, arrows & the cogs.
 
"Live It Up" title

12" Nested Cogs Set

Assorted Arrows Set


I really do love these 2Crafty chipboard cogs I have used. 
They come on al 12" nested sheet & you get heaps of them.
I have given them a faux metal finish.


 This title, "Live it Up" & the arrows are also both from 2Crafty chipboard too.
I thought they were perfect for this layout.


I have to say I am really enjoying doing boy layouts recently.
I thought I had lost the recipe but luckily I have found it again !!!
Well that just about wraps up another layout.
Hope you like it.
 
Until next time.
