I did this page for a challenge. The challenge was to use something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

All of the stitching except the zigzag around the large photo was by hand. I also used Becky’s sketch for November.


Something old: sticker, star template (traced, photocopied and enlarged to get the size I needed)
Something new: BG Oh Baby Boy pp
Something borrowed: toothpicks from kitchen (letters in the word silly), and medical tape from the bathroom to tape off a star to paint on the silly accent
Something blue: Primas
Fabric: used blue and white stripe on the star behind/left of the silly accent

Journaling:
I can admit it. I am a little camera happy and love taking pictures. Sometimes I wonder if Bella thinks I am the paparazzi as I just start snapping photos and am always on the look out for the perfect picture. I often photograph Ed and Bella together because those are my favorite shots.
I was recently looking through my pictures and noticed a common occurrence. I have tons of pictures of the two of them acting goofy while I am trying to get the perfect photo. Sometimes it is a conspiracy amongst them in which they act silly together and do funny stuff. Some of my pictures end up with them cracking up instead of that sweet smile I started out with. I can hear Ed now, saying, “Mommy’s taking pictures again let’s _______.” You can fill in the blank with him telling Annabella to make a funny face or say something a lot funnier than cheese. Sometimes she plays along and other times she ends up getting mad at him and making a mad face. All I know is lately my perfect photos are not of them smiling and posing for me, but laughing together, being silly and acting like complete goofballs.
