Scrap the Boys November Challenge

November!!! Just that word is enough to strike panic into me knowing that Christmas is hurtling towards us now (and that I am FAR from organised!) Anyway, the November challenge has now been revealed at Scrap the Boys and I really loved this one! This month's challenge theme is "the softer side"- we want to see your boys showing their softer side - think holding babies, stroking a pet, etc...

Here is my take on the challenge - scrapping my boys (particularly Hunter's) current obsession with dressing up...

I loved that this challenge gave me the perfect excuse to scrap a "girly" style layout for my boys. (One I will definitely be whipping out at the 21st!) To go along with the fairy theme, I included a pair of chipboard wings and a wand that I had in my stash. These were first painted with gesso, then I dabbed on some purple mist and gold paint. Of course I also indulged my flower fetish - the ones on this LO are a mix of Kaisercraft from Wild About Scrap, and D-lish Scraps...

I have been trying to make more of an effort to journal on my LO's lately, even if it's only brief, because what use is a pretty picture if you don't know the story behind it?

I hope you get the chance to play along with us this month. As always, there are some awesome prizes up for grabs - this month the sponsors include Scrapmatts, Scrappers Garden & D-lish Scraps! So what are you waiting for? Get scrapping! :)
