Art With Heart Blog Hop: Males In Our Lives

Hi!

Welcome to the Art With Heart August Blog Hop. This month, with Father's Day just around the corner, we have chosen a theme of Males In Our Lives. If you've started the blog hop here, that's fine. It's a circle so just keep on hoppin' round all 9 blogs 'til you get back here. Remember to leave a comment on each blog and then if you're not a SU demonstrator email Nikki Sadler at nikki@inkyart.com.au to be in the running for some fantastic blog candy.

The Art With Heart Team are a fantastic group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators led by the very talented Claire Daly. You may have just come from the blog of one of those team members: Christine Blain. Christine is also a member of the Helping Hudson team. The Helping Hudson team has a blog set up to raise funds for a KidWalk for my son Hudson. If you'd like to know more, please check out the Helping Hudson blog.

OK, on to my project! I am honoring my eldest son Alex in this blog hop. He is a fantastic big brother and very protective of his younger sister and brother. Hence the title: Brotherly Love.


I took this photo on Ada's last day of Kindy. It was one of those moments that I was lucky to capture, as I wouldn't normally have the camera with me. As we walked out of school after picking up Alex he put his arm around Ada's shoulders and started telling her some of the things she needed to know about starting 'big school'.


I cased this layout from one I saw in Scrapbooking Memories magazine: Kellie Lusted's layout on page 84 of Volume 12 Number 7. For my layout I used the Haiku DSP papers and matching card stock.


There was lots of layering in this layout. It took me 2 evenings to put together. The first was all the cutting, sponging and stamping and the second evening was adhering it all down. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.


So that's it for my project. Next you're off to see how Kristine Thompson has celebrated the men in her life.

The Art With Heart Team run a blog hop on the first Saturday of every month, so be sure to come back next month for the next hop!
