As I was reading through my wonderful Scrapbook Inspirations magazine again today for about the third time since picking it up last week, my eye lingered over the same layout for a much longer period of time so I decided I must really like that layout enough to scraplift it… so I did.

I had just the photo to use to. The title would have to wait since nothing really snapped at me, but it was a photo I had been hanging onto for some time. My youngest grandson riding on the lawn tractor with his father. He was only about 2 years of age at the time and looked either quite frightened or certainly not too excited to be there. I digress… Naturally I wanted to use the photo to tell a story that wasn’t really behind the photo at all LOL.

Like any good scrapbooker I didn’t have any of the necessary supplies… of course I had everything but what I needed, and of course I didn’t let such a silly little thing like that stop me either. I plunged ahead and made my own scalloped paper, a little uneven and funny shaped but scalloped never-the-less. I even went so far as to make my own journaling tag. Such an ambitious monkey I was tonight but I will never ever let my darling husband get wind of that, he might think I want to do something more strenuous like hmmmmm cooking or something and that would never do.

Anyway, on with the tale… I now have a full 12 x 12 layout that tells a tale of a 2 year old boy seeing through a plot by his father trying to make him do a chore of cutting the lawn by trying to disguise the work with a big toy tractor……… but everyone knows BOYZ DON’T WORK and WORK IS WORK

Here is my Layout, and I think my Darling Daughter is going to laugh til she cries, my wonderful Son in Law is just gonna slap me and say “Nana, you really Lost it this time”.. then he will laugh. We all KNOW I’m nuts anyway LOL.  The scan on this one didn’t work too well.
