The boys wrapped my pressies in some cute monster paper.
As soon as saw those cute characters (on the paper as well as real life : ) a layout sprang to mind:
I have come to accept having boys means our house will never be a show home.
It's frustrating at times but when I do a good tidy up and a toy can't be seen, it looks empty and bare...this photo was taken after the 2 boys had been playing to show Charlie why we need to tidy up:
(those observant eyes wondering why there's a baby bath seat in the living room, we used it for Alfie when he wanted to play but couldn't sit alone: )
...squirted a line of paint straight from tube underneath paper edge, then held paper upright so it ran down...

...lots or folded edges, ripped edges, star tape, monster stickers...
...bit of "scruffy" stitching...

Charlie had a friend round in half term, the 2 of them sat creating for 4 hours...
This is Charlies creation:
Pom-poms + Buttons = Cute doggy
Yoghurt pot = kennel for cute doggy

One last thing which you need to check out:
Thanks for looking :)
OMG... look at little Alfie. Is there any thing left for him to pull out of his toy box. lol and yet he looks so peaceful. I wonder who's going to put all those toys away. :o)

The monsters are look right at home on the corner of the page.
