Dandan's boy

I set myself a little challenge today, I wanted to scrap but have a poorly 3 year old at home and so not a lot of time so I gave myself an hour's time limit whilst the little guy sat beside me colouring. To make sure I stuck to my time I used the sketch from Sarah's Cards May Challenge and the colour combination from May's UKScrappers house challenge. This is the result;


The colour combination was deep red, yellow green and brown and instantly made me think of the papers I had from Crate Farmhouse and so that was all I got out and the Sarah's Cards sketch called for 2 photos which meant I could finally scrap these pictures of my eldest aged 4 in 2004 with my Dad luckily the colours and sketch suited the pics :)
The photo's were from when my parents came and looked after Joel and Dylan while Phil was in the hospital with me laughing at my pain as I gave birth to Kari (and yes he did laugh the git!). Joel was always a Dandan's boy and indeed was the one who named him Dandan when he couldn't say grandad.
I will have to try this time limit scrapping again I might actually get caught up on my photos :) Thanks for popping by x
