Rocket Man




Yes, I had the Elton John lyrics running through my head as I created this page! I was inspired in two parts. Firstly, I had the rest of the October Afternoon paper out on the scrap table and couldn't bear to pack it away. And, saw this fun little challenge out on Scrap Fit which I actually spotted first on Missy Whidden's blog and I liked her banners so much, I wanted to try them. Now, hers are MUCH more exciting than mine, they really pop with those bright colors against the black and the twine/floss idea on top is inspired since mine is a bit hidden.


Oh, and how did you like Lexi's face as she cheered on Luke! Isn't that great! She is a bit competitive and wanted her brother to win. The battling robots had to move different colored pucks to win! Of course, being here near Canada, real hockey pucks were used. LOL!



Best part is I had enough scraps left over to also make a card! I haven't done that in ages. I will post that in a bit!

    What a fun LO. Love the retro rocket elements! Your banner is so wonderful. Love how it has part of the title, and the doodling really makes it stand out! Your LO really reflects the fun and excitement your son had with the Lego robotics! Thanks for joining us for the Banner Workout at ScrapFIT! ~ Blessings
