Two Pages

Update: I cut some titles with my new Cuttlebug and added the journaling box, as mentioned below.

This first one doesn't have a title, as I couldn't think of one. My friend, Jeanne, took these at her daughter's birthday party last October. The top picture is cropped down quite a bit to just focus on Julia, and Jessica, the birthday girl, is in the background, and Aaron's striped shirt is on the left side. The bottom right picture is Jules eating her lunch while lounging on an ottoman!

The second page I would have titled "A Black-and-White Halloween" had I left myself room. I did a mirror image of the first layout (the curved borders of which I saw somewhere once, but I don't remember where, and the rest is my idea) and stamping on black cardstock is not ideal if you want it to be bold and I didn't feel like trying to cut out cardstock letters. Then again, I just bought a Cuttlebug and a few alphabets, all of which should arrive tomorrow, so I might just add some titles to these. I'll guess you'll have to check back to see if I did.

Back to Halloween: Aaron chose to wear his penguin suit again this year and Julia, after being shown a few cute costumes at K-Mart, pointed at the rack and said, "Cat." I pulled it out, looked at the tag and told her it was a skunk. "Skunk," she repeated. So that was her choice. Lucky for me, I don't smell skunks! She insisted on dragging it through the store and parking lot to the car, so I had to wash the head well before she wore it. (I'm thinking I need to add some journaling somewhere as this is a cute story I had forgotten until now. I guess that means a picture will need to flip up to reveal it.)
