He loves Mr. Men books, so I got him a Christmas themed one in a booksale at my children's school. And one weekend morning, just before Christmas, he woke up, sat in our bed and started diligently reading the book. Slowing, getting some words right, struggling with others. And how cool it is, he was wearing Mr Men PJ!
While I sometimes make busier and "lumpier" layouts, the simple ones are the ones that I like most. Like this one.
I stitched at the top and bottom of the photo, it is hard so see in the photo, but it added a little something to the layout.
*Patterned paper: Making Memories
*Letter stickers: Sassafras (yellow), October Afternoon (small/cream)
*Chipboard: Heidi Swapp
*Journaling tag: Ali Edwards @ Designer Digitals
*Font: Underwood Champion
Recently Dulce Silva, another Brazilian expat, posted this layout in the Studio Calico gallery. I was amazed how similar it is with the layout above. They both are 8.5x11, with a large photo going all the width of the layout, papers strips at the top & bottom and 3 stars.
And Project 12/ December 2010. I really don't want to give in this project - i have to get my act together, I am missing 3 months in 2010...
A photo-less layout. Copied the idea from something that Ali Edwards make a few Christmas ago. It's a way to keep some of the Christmas cards. The little drawings on top of the December label are by my kiddies - their contribution for their respective classes' Christmas card.
