Mornin' y'all! Today's baby book layout has some of my FAVORITE pictures from Ryan's first year--his Halloween costume! He was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the original Ghostbusters.
Ryan actually likes to watch that movie now; there are parts that I remember hiding behind the couch so I wouldn't see them (scary library ghost, I'm looking at you) but those are the parts Ryan thinks are funny and he asks to rewind and watch them again. Love it. Also, I believe the baby blanket he's sitting on is the one I was wrapped in coming home from the hospital when I was born--my mom had started making a pink one, but a friend told her, "You want a girl so much, this baby is going to be a boy!" so she made a blue one instead and the pink one wasn't finished before I was born.
Anyway, back to the layout. Even in my vast DSP collection, I couldn't find a Real Red pattern I liked for this layout, so I used some non-SU paper. Also it took me a long time to stamp that very long page title and I didn't realize until afterward that the lower-case T is supposed to be dropped a little bit. Oops. But I wasn't going to redo it. There is a Ghostbusters Little Golden Book and one page has "It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!" in huge letters, which is what I was thinking of when I made this layout.
Today's color palette is Whisper White, Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, and Balmy Blue who was absent on school picture day.
Have a great weekend, y'all! Maybe I'll get a smidgen of stamping time this week but I'm not holding my breath. Moving is a lot of work. :p
