A page for her to add her own photos.. I stickled the title.
I also added some pockets.. the bottom tags are glued down, but the on the left hand side, she can pull the top tag out and journal on it, or what ever she wants..

The Test Of Time

Here is a layout I did of My hubby. The photos are from back when we first moved to Finland.. I love love love these photos of him and wanted to make this layout really special..
I inked a lot of the cuts on this layout, actually I inked all of the cuts on this layout..LOL
Here's a close up of the broken potter jars.. I think they came out really cute.. There's 4 of them in total scattered on the bottom row of this layout..EVERYTHING IS POP DOTTED.. The only things that are laid flat, are the pillar, photos and title.
I was trying to go for an Anciet Roman kind of feel.. How all the artifacts from thousands of years ago are still intact..which of course is where the title of the layout comes in.
Here I added a close up of the broken jars.. they were a lot of work, but I like em a lot.. :O)

Just another close up of the Pillar.. It is hidden away behind the flowers, but you can still see it peeking through..close up of of the flowers I added.. There is actually a Roman pillar behind those flowers that I inked as well..
Some more pottery and some of the brick work.. I wanted it to look really old with cracks in them..LOL
I'm sorry this photo is a bit blurry, I tried a million times to take a better one, but this is actually the best one out of the bunch..sorry...

School Of Rock

Here is my oldest son Aaron a few years ago, he was 13 yrs old in this photo.. that year in school, they had a young male teachers aid that got the whole class interested in music and tought them all how to play different instruments. My son learned how to play the guitar.. He loved it..
Here's a close up of the title.. coming up with the title idea took me two whole days.. I actually had to go and research the internet on how a piano keyboard looked like...LOL
The keyboard is actually pieced together using two different carts. Locker talk for the base and George for the key cutouts.
My son... the little tags on the side of the photo read "ROCK ON LITTLE DUDE!".. I remember that quote from Keanu Reeve's in the movie "Bill and Ted's Greatest Adventures!"..(god! how old am I?)..LOL
I wanted to put my new Indie cart to good use and so I seen the little cassette cut and I knew I had to use it some how.. although, my son doesn't even know what that is...he's CD generation..LOL
I actually added a few more embellishments after I had already made this post, so thats why the photo of the whole layout is a bit different. It just seemed to be missing something..LOL as if thats possible with all the stuff I always clutter a layout with..LOL :O)
