Two page layout...

Hello! I'm back with another page! A while back I made a lot of two page layouts. Actually, I even remember not letting myself make those pages that didn't have enough photos for a two page spread. Things change. Later I went strictly to 12x12 singe page layouts... and then I switched to 8.5x11... and today, first time in many years, I made a double 8.5x11 page.

It was so much fun to make it... and it wasn't that scary... and I'm sure you'll see me do this more often now.

Here's each side a little closer...

I must admit that I don't like making birthday layouts. I can't really pinpoint the reason, but it's just not my type of pages that I like to create. But this page is kind of a twist on a birthday page - it features a photo from the actual Birthday, it talks about this day, but at the same time it shows the growth of a child through the years and so much more.

I'm sure it will be the one that kids would like to go back and look at. I hope I can do something similar about each child in the family. 

To balance the right side, I tried to keep the left side pretty simple - it's already overwhelming with the amount of photos it has. In fact, I was able to fit 18 in there!

FYI - the colors in real life are a little brighter than they appear here - could be the rainy day... All of the pictures were printed at home on a regular cardstock (for some reason, they turn out better on cardstock than photo paper with this printer).

This six-year-old starts school in five day. FIVE DAYS! That means our summer is over... I can't believe they start so early this year. As always it's a little sad and a little exciting at the same time. Hopefully she will like school!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

See you soon!
