This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Time Flies - OUAS July Challenge

Hello Everyone

I have had such a busy day, that it is actually so nice to just sit behind my PC and just have a few mins to post this page today and just relax a little.

My page is for the OUAS challenge.

Journalling Theme: "Grow"



So I went and found 2 photo's of Joe, 4 years apart. It was amazing to see the difference and this is what I wanted to scrap.

So here's my page.


My journalling in the little envelope says this: My Sweet Boy, you are growing up so quickly! Just the other day you were a baby boy and now you are already turning 6. I love you more each day and love watching you grow! You will always be my Sweet Boy!


I used My Little Yellow Bicycle Saturdays Collection, and love that the diecut piece was stitched. I then did some gesso stencilling on the background and added all the bits. The flowers are also from the Saturdays Collection, with a few Petaloo flowers thrown in between. The chipboards rounds are Enmarc Crafts and the corners Celebr8. The leaves are Petaloo as well, and are coloured with Enmarc Dazzles.


I cannot believe how the time has flown and my baby boy is no longer a baby! In a way I am sad, but in another, so love the relationship that we share now. He is certainly growing tall and I hope that we will always be close.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I remember having those same thoughts when my kids were growing up Denise. I'm very blessed to still have a great relationship with both of them today. Your layout is absolutely beautiful and the pics are so adorable. xx

    Denise, your relationship with your son will just grow stronger over the years. One day you will have a wonderful relationship with your adult child. I speak from experience. Your layout is very pretty.
