2nd Birthday layout



I created this layout for a challenge at Scrappin'" Mojo. The challenge is to create a layout using paper that is unconventional for your layout subject, use at least 3 photos and the journaling must tell the story of the photos.

The paper I used was from Colorbok's Christmas Cool Yule project pack. The patterned paper is actually Christmas ornaments. I turned it upside down to make it look like balloons. The journaling reads:
"The morning of Addison’s 2nd birthday we found a huge surprise for her on the front porch. It was a wonderful canopy swing and two wrapped presents. Our neighbor and friend, Kami, left them on the porch for Addison. We took the presents inside for Addison to open them. Each box had a beautiful dress inside. One dress was red and white and had a matching hat. The other dress was purple and green gingham that had matching shoes. Addison modeled the hat for us. The shoes were too big for Addison’s little feet. She wore the green and purple dress all day for her birthday. Then we had to go outside so Addison could swing in her new swing. This is something she would enjoy over the next couple of years. Later that day Kami came by to wish Addison a happy birthday. Kami read Addison’s favorite book, Moon Dance, to her. Kami is such a sweet friend to Addison. ~~July 22, 2006"

Aw, what a sweet neighbor you have. Is this the same one who always leaves stuff on your porch?

Very cute LO!
