I got a kick out making this layout. The story behind the layout is, My dd started working at the same grocery store I do and once she got the hang of everything she actually received a department she had to take care of and in this case , she got the cheese department.. We sell a lot specialty cheeses from around the world and they come in these big 10 lb bricks, etc.. I took a few photos of her at work and wanted to make a funny layout with them.. She approved!! LOL :O)
Hope you get a good laugh out of this one..
Here are some close ups and all of the details to making this layout
Close up of the title and of the little mouse I pieced together.
This actually says "Stinky Fromage!" which of course means stinky cheese.. She always complains about how bad some of them smell..LOL
And finally a close up of the other little mouse I pieced together.. I think he came out very cute..
