Anyway, let's start the week off with some more baby book pages, since those are the only scrapbook pages I've done since we moved to Virginia. But I should have 6 to 8 weeks to work on my own books before the next baby book kicks off. Anyway...
Yay October! This was the first layout I did for the twin boys' baby books (which went out in the mail last Friday, thankyouverymuch). Their mama told me that "Pastels are for wussies!" so I decided to go very bold for this layout. How much do I love that orange and black mosaic pattern!!
And there are three of the Googly Ghouls for you. This time around on the books, I tried to incorporate more circles and shapes on the layouts rather than sticking solely to squares and rectangles. I think it makes the books more visually appealing.
Also appealing: the very bright (really, this picture doesn't do it justice) Cucumber Crush on black cardstock. That green is awesome for Halloween!!
One more detail shot, there's a bat from Spooky Bingo Bits.
Something else I love: it's starting to feel like fall here. The hubs and I spent several hours wandering around Old Town Alexandria yesterday and I didn't feel like I was going to melt! I think I'll be making some pumpkin coffee cake for breakfast on October first. Pumpkin cheers, y'all!
Supplies, mostly SU!
Stamps: Googly Ghouls, Spooky Bingo Bits
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie, Cucumber Crush, Rich Razzleberry

I like it! Usually I stick with pastels for babies too, but the bold works really well- especially for Halloween! :)
