Let's Get Shabby - Challenge # 34

....for challenge #34
 over at
it's all about creating a Shabby Project with
a repeated geometrical shape...
-oOo-
....So here is my DT take on this challenge..
I decided to scrap a page of one of my boys...

 I started with some (webster pages) 12x12 paper
 Then I stencilled with some paint (for my repeated geometrical shaped pattern) using a hexagon patterned mask.
to give me this background for my layout.
-oOo-
Then embellished with...
 assorted lace, charms, flowers, wooden embellies, book paper...
 ...buttons, doilies, metal gate embellie, butterfly...
Oh and a photo of my cutie (when he was about 7 years old...taken 11 years ago!!...so he's a little bigger now LOL!!) and his little pal!
....owl charm, bird stamped tag, more wooden embellies (clock and butterfly).
-oOo-
...and this is my finished page....
For full deets on this challenge ...
hop over to
..and to see what beauties the other shabby girls have created...

Thanks for peeking
