"Let's take a stroll around the neighbourhood..." I said to my niece on Saturday.
"Yay!" she beamed excitedly.
Yep. It is really easy to get a 6 year old excited about a stroll, with the possibility of stopping at a playground when she's been watching her brothers play on the tablets all day long. *winks*
She paid attention as I named the plants we saw along the way and was proud of herself for identifying them correctly. And of course, she was happy to pose for photos. :)
I was really pleased with the amount of paper scraps on this layout....even though it has hardly made a noticeable dent in the scrap pile. *LOL*
I love adding dimensional elements on my layouts but keep them relatively flat for easy storage.

ReplyDeleteAnd HA!...me using up my scrap pile?!...LOL I usually go through it all and then ask my daughter if she wants anything! Terrible, right?!...LOL (on a real note: I do need it use more from my scrap pile.) ;)
Super cute layout :)
ReplyDeleteOmgoodness, this is SO stinkin' adorable, Yvonne! I love the mish mash of elements on here. I was scanning and absorbing all the details, and then spied the little city scene on the right side, with the giant fruit behind it, and it was such a happy discovery! The way you combine elements to build a scene always tickles me. I am loving the dimensional elements you added here, too. The little wood frame around the face, the mix of trims and crochet on the side... such great touches!
ReplyDeleteLovely ideas! And lovely work! Judy x
