i can hardly believe it's Saturday again! time just seems to fly by as we head into summer and the end of the year...i am currently working on Christmas cards...no way! it's hard to wrap my head around it, but took a break to work on the numbers challenge over at scrap and stamp Saturday when i remembered about this baby...i still love it and had to share. it's one of those crazy layouts where i used everything and anything that didn't have a home at the time - all those odd card board frames, one left rub-on, tags, brads, stamping and much more. the challenge was to use numbers...either on the page or even on your photo or as a title. head on over and play along to win!!

to emphasize the number 2 i used acrylic paint and a plastic cup to stamp around it.

these are old id tags from a switch board - i love using stuff like that - it has so much meaning and is applicable to my life, oh and then there is the part about recycling i am passionate about too. something from my late father's days and so fitting for a layout about his grandson whom he never knew.

and more stamping on a card board little car inside a frame. the stamp is a favorite from Hero Arts. i also stamped some numbers with another favorite Tim Holtz stamp. the car part was glazed to make it stand out even more.

PS. the Ferrari car cake was make by my brother himself!! he really is good when it comes to stuff like that! and needless to say Jonathan loved his cake.
hope you have a fabulous weekend!
