Scrap That Poetry - Challenge #38

Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day
by Delmore Schwartz

Here is my take on the first of two poems for Scrap That Poetry this month.
I chose the line "What will become of you and me"
This photo was taken of my son and god-daughter on Easter holiday back in 2007 in Echuca, Victoria.
I just love this photo and I often do wonder what will become of the two of them....what will the future hold?

I used papers from the Echo Park Playground Collection that Jo sent me from Scrapbookit.
Echo Park - Playground Collection: Monkey Bars, Capture the Flag, Heads Up Seven Up, Double Dutch; Bazzill Cardstock-white; Kaisercraft - Mini Alpha Stickers; Making Memories - Jigsaw Alphabets; ribbon; Kaisercraft Rhinestones; Versamark Ink - Royal Blue; Pure Blue Zig Writer; unknown chipboard embellishment; Alison Ellis - Sparkle n Soft - Sapphire Silk.

I have got so much use out of this pack - it is so versatile and suits girls and boys.....what more could you ask for? My challenge this time around was the flocking powder. I had never used it before. I used it on the chipboard letters and embellishments and I just LOVE the effect it gives.....but.....BOY is it MESSY to use.....lots of fun though! It reminds me of glittering kids work at school!!!!

There are two poems this month over at Scrap That Poetry - choose to play along using one or both poems.
We all look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I apologise for the photos.....I didn't have any luck snapping good shots! I used a variety of photos from her birth in the hospital to some of the first photos of her smiling. I only completed the first section of the book and have since handed the rest over to my sister to add her own touches to the book. I best be off.......I...

I am currently working on my first project as a design team member and this will be found on the STP site on October 15! Have a good rest of the week, Melxx
