I enjoyed the challenge I did last month with the About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge Blog so much that I’ve decided to try to keep up with them. They do challenges twice a month on the 1st and 15th.
The challenge for the 1st was Hoarders. You were to make your page(s) using items you’ve had for at least a year. Given how many supplies I have I figured this wouldn’t be very hard.
The first page of my layout is using a pre-made page from Ez Laser Designs. I purchased this when I was still pregnant…Michael is now 30 months old! It’s very hard to tell, but the background paper is a subtly shimmering shades of aqua. It looks very much like lapping waves.
To complete the two pages I used some wave paper that I’ve had for so long I can’t remember when it’s from. Michael loved the beach for his first time (as all the smiles indicate), and it thankfully worn him out. He was a very bad napper in his first year of life, and this trip was really the first time he willingly went down.
great page Lyne, love that wavy background paper. Its amazing how much product we hoard isnt it? Thanks for joining us at AAB!
Wonderful Beach page! Thank you for playing along at about a boy!
Great page! I like the wavy paper! I think I may have some of that in my stash! Thank you for joining us at AAB!

Ohh how cute is that? Great job with the hoarders challenge and thanks for playing along with us at About A Boy! 🙂
Great pages! Thanks for taking part in the About a Boy Challenge :)!
Oh, I have stuff that I don't know how long I've had it too! Love the die cuts at the bottom of the first page. Glad to see you are coming back to About a Boy
Lovely layout! love the fish decoration. thanks for playing with us at AAB.
Great layout! Thanks for playing with us at About a Boy
Great layout! Cute cute pics too. I secretly love when they have so much fun that they wear themselves out. Thanks for playing with us over at About A Boy.
I've really been trying to use what I have this year, and only buy what I don't have a color match for. Going to the scrap show in September and want to be pretty "empty" by then. Thanks for looking!
Thanks Devra – I like to have a few pre-made type pages for special things (like first beach and first zoo trips) since I'll never be able to cut something so complex.
Love what you're doing! I haven't done my march LO yet but will soon! Your son is so cute and so is the LO! Good luck with the challenge!

Love that paper and the laser-cut images. I have some die-cuts I bought long ago, too, that I swear I'm going to use someday!! 😉 Great layout!
