Real Good

What a good challenge for Scrap the Boys this month. Recycle  Re-use. How good is that. I had kept a McDonalds take away bag that I had emptied (Yummmmmm). It had a picture of a tractor on it and at the time I thought that it would make a good boy's page at some time or other and Scrap the Boys came up with the challenge.I have used some of the wording on the bag as a title and other pieces to make the bunting and  pieces of wording for comments and also for the pinwheels. No piece was left un-used. And then I also used a piece of check ribbon that I salvaged from some gift wrapping for a bit of backing. The hardest decision was what photo of Noah to use....I have quite a number to choose from.  He may well think that all grandma's have a permanent attachment of a camera on the end of their arm.
