Love That Boy

This layout was done for the Scrap Like You Mean It challenge on UKS - to scrap in the morning. No problems there as I often scrap into the small hours. I also wanted to try out a layout to be used on a canvas, but wanted to see if it worked first. I used all my favourite things on this - felt, stitching, buttons, ric-rac, bling, scallops and colour. It also used only scraps.
