Two little boys...

I never imagined myself ever saying the words 'my sons'! I was resigned to the fact that the farmer and I had a girl and a boy and that was our family. Well along came Ted! So much has changed since this little man came into our world and the best change of all is seeing our two sons getting to know each other as brothers.

I created this layout using the new Fern and Forest Boy collection  from Little Yellow Bicycle and played around with a simple concept of matting small rectangles of patterned paper behind the photo. I added hints of whimy with the grass, trees, critters and clouds whilst hiding a small tag of journaling behind the photo.

How sweet is this little tree from the Naturals collection. I love the texture it adds to the layout.

I decided to add the Fresh Verse stickers in a slightly eclectic way by layering them vertically on the page and finishing the layout with a few stars, a touch of stitching and a splash of white mist.
