Here is a layout I did using the awesome new die cut paper from Collage Press - so Yummy, so Yummy (Gabba, Gabba)!I incorporated elements in my layout based on Challenge #2 over at A La Carte Challenge blog where you pick your own items from the menu and add to your project. I used distressing, metal embellishments and the word Father in my hidden journaling.
Hidden journaling is tucked behind the photo and the arrow acts as a pull tab.
Journaling reads (on other side): June, 2009: It wasn't easy, but after much work and dedication, you are both complete and total mama's boys - much to your Father's dismay! Love you both more than the sky!
I felt that the layout was missing some finishing embellishments and of course, I didn't have the right ones in my stash. But...I glanced upon this box of kleenex and thought - wow, wouldn't those trees totally match and fit perfectly with the theme?!
What do you think??I'll be back a little later with an updated materials list. Have a happy Tuesday!
