Bling goes with ANYTHING!




... Even BOYS!



I was SO excited to get my SCRAP-onnnnn, recently, feasting on some of the
most darling pictures of my wee-lad, from back in the DAY, and some SUPER
blinged-out possibility, and complete scrappy FABULOUSNESS! Oh, MAN!
What delight to devour these, long forgotten shots of the boy, sparkling with
his OWN blinged out goodness - it was quite natural, REALLY!



Bling DOES go with BOYS!



CUTIE, on DUTY! Indeed he was! So with JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT
of bling to heighten the adorableness of my subject... {Hee Hee!} I had a
FESTIVAL of Want2Scrap blingy goodness! I HOPE, hope, hope you'll check
out my corresponding Want2Scrap blog post, where I'll give you all the
bling-a-licious details of this application..... ALL the goods on the GOODS!





Meanwhile, I wanted to let you in on some of the INSIDE scoop
on the construction of this fun page... Get ready for MORE boy!



These SCRUMPTIOUS pictures, as cute as they are (SORRY! Mom - moment!)...
weren't QUITE enough to tell my darling story. So I turned them into a shutter
flap! See the "hinge" portion to the right of this picture....



Here it is from the inside. All you REALLY need to build a page like this is, well,
FANTASTIC pictures of your darling one.... and REALLY good scrapbooking tape!
In this shot you can also see my double-sided tape that will be used to stick this
shutter mechanism to the OUTSIDE of the page protector... (More on THAT, later!}





To the top of this photo, you'll see another strip of card stock that is attached at the
backside of the layout. This mechanism will hang OVER the page protector, once I
put it in an album. With both of these panels, I can add a lot of additional photos
and journaling-a-plenty...




Here's the top panel, open! And ANOTHER view, including my journaling panel:





There are SIX more photographs AND a small essay on HOW I've been
completely ROBBED by the swiftness of the years and HOW this boy
turned into the long, lanky, attitudinal, but STILL COMPLETELY adorable...
TEENAGER he is today!

See:




{Practically the SAME kid! Ha ha!}




It's FUN to scrap... {!} and when I truly get MY scrap on, WANT2SCRAP has
all of the BEST embellies to make it TRULY come together! I hope you'll
