This is a lo of my ds and my FIL. Im trying to get better at the boy los!
The small journaling in the gear says: You can almost hear the gears turning in his mind.

I had alot of fun with this one. I masked the gears with paint, distressed all the edges, did some stamping and rubons. There is a faint rubon on the side that says " you're kidding me" (this is one of the things that Will says all the time and I just luv it!! the other rubons say "confessions of the heart" and "friends" and "so happy..."
I made the license plate at the bottom with a stamp kit and double matted it, and I also stitched up to side giving it the spiral look!

This is for Use your supplies challenge...and man did I use alot of supplies!

Thanks for looking and Thanks Anna for the push in the right direction!

	By KellyCreates 06-Jun-10 Wow, Tab, this is just wonderful! Yes, you can definitely rock the boy pages, too! Fantastic pps, and LOVE your design. But it's all the little touches you noted in your description that make this an amazing page...the stitching, rub-ons, journalling, cool gears. And that title is awesome on the license plate. It's so great that you captured their "secrets" with the camera. A beautiful and sweet memory.
