Joy; In The Jungle

Last Saturday the library host a crop and swap that Anna and I went to. A week later, I still couldn't figure out how to make the finishing touches to complete these two pages. I'm still not sold on them, but I think it'll do. This first one is called Joy.

The pictures are of me with our niece, Emily, and then one of Travis with her opening gifts at Christmas in 2006. I was lucky enough to have Anna show me how to heat emboss, that's how, "Emily" showed up so great. I used various brads and fibers as well as markers to create this page. And I also included a tag that I stuck behind the pictures where I journaled about that day. It says, "Our niece, Emily, was 1 yr old this Christmas. She really was a joy to be around. She was full of excitement and wonder as she saw all the packages, bows, shiny ornaments, and lights. And after she figured out how to open gifts she tried to open them all!" She really was a blast!

This next layout is called "In The Jungle". Of course it's of our trip to see the Bengals game in October of 2006.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be doing some home improvement projects while it's nice outside.
