october at scrap the boys...

This month's challenge at Scrap the Boys is to create a layout about your child's favourite book or book series, if your child is too young to have a favourite book, what is your favourite book to read to him?
Here's what I came up with inspired by one of my little guy's favourites - Little Monkey.

Cayden loves the story of the Little Monkey who goes out looking for someone to play with and rather than using a pic of him 'reading' the book I decided to use the story itself as my main inspiration.

He loves peeking through the cut-out pages and I tried to recreate this look by making some chipboard tree trunks to go over the top of the book paper background and I like that each page has the writing up in the tree tops which inspired me to create my own leafy tree top for my title. 

here's a detail pic of some the cute handmade embellies I used to help tell the story...
