Metal Mania scrapbook page

Shimelle's first prompt was to dig out your metal.I knew I had lots of brads and eyelets.....brads I use regularly.....eyelets hardly ever......so a good opportunity to get them out.Surprisingly I didn't find much more metal.......an alphabet [which probably hadn't been used as there's only one of each letter] and some bottle caps.
I used a b + w photo of DS with his favourite childhood toy........found the perfect paper which I also cut matching circles out of..........I've put eyelets all round the page.......quite like the effect.....but too time consuming to do very often!!
The metal letters say 'TRACTOR'.......and I also covered a bottle top with a circle of the decorative paper.
Thought I'd enter this into Double Dutch 'boys only' and Crafty Catz 'something for the boys' as well.
Many thanks to all who sent best wishes for OH's recovery.

Lovely layout. I bought a cropodile which arrived today so I suspect that eyelets may show in a few of my layouts in the next few weeks!

This is a real boy layout Jacky! Love your papers, perfect with the b/w image of your son. I have some of those alphabets lying around too and I love what you did with the bottle cap.
