Saturday scrapping: Moving with the times...

Errr, ok, this is rather late, but I managed to finish 2 layouts across the past week or so.  Everytime I got tired of working on my dissertation at night, I would start cutting up/pasting bits of paper to destress.  I realised that I have a this compulsion to ink almost every piece of paper that gets into my hands, its pretty therapeutic, heehee!

Both layouts are about the little boy and movement, but I think they're pretty different in terms of colour and styles, probably due to the different lines of papers I was using.  The first one was about the little boy "flying":

The kite was made from a tag (I just cut a diamond shape from it)
as I wanted to use the little eyelet at the bottom to attach the string.
I cut the red parts from the poor robot's face from one of the patterned papers. :p
The blue sky was glimmer misted using the cut out clouds as a mask.

Almost everything was inked, including the thickers, as well as the mock "grass"
that I punched out from the reverse side of the patterned paper using a MS punch.
And I didn't have to glue the kite string down since its tied to the tree!

And the full layout:

Supplies: White & kraft cardstock

And the second layout was about a walk the boy had with his Ah Ma at a park sometime after he started learning how to walk on his own:

I cut out the flowers from the patterned paper and used foam dots.  And inked them of course!

The leaves were cut out and inked, so were the butterflies!

Closeup of the title: Thickers were inked and I used washi tape at the bottom...
I inked the birdies too! :)

And finally, the full picture, which used up 5 pieces of my beloved Crate paper:
