Description: I wasn't going to include these photos in our vacation album but everytime I see them they make me smile so I thought maybe they were worthy of a layout afterall.
We were visiting the very beautiful Oak Alley plantation in Louisiana and I had gone into the gift shop to browse. My husband was doing the obligatory husband thing and making all the ooh and ahh sounds and the occasional 'why don't you get that' as we looked around. Our sons do not feel the same sense of obligation to their mum when they see gift shops and stayed outside to wander around the gardens.
Well, my husband's mobile phone rang and he went outside to take the call. Just because we are thousands of miles away on the other side of the world on vacation, if you run your own business, you are never completely on vacation.
So, he gives the camera (I need free hands for shopping!!) to the boys to mind......and here is the result! I don't think any Calvin Klein models out there should be worried about losing their jobs!
I tried to keep the layout 'loose & fun' so I looked for insperation in my dear friend Katkas gallery whose fun & playful style I very much admire.
This was the first time I have made Lolipop flowers. Don't know if they quite look like what they are meant to...very challenging for me to actualy try and cut unevenly.
TFL.

OMG!! this page definitely brought a smile to my face!! Your sons are adorable!! I'm so glad they took these photos!! Your page turned out awesome!! TFS!!
I am a camera buff (semi-professional) and I absolutely adore how you framed these pics in a negative style. This way toooooo cool. I am glad you put it in your album. It is GREAT
Vija, I'm just impressed that the men in your life don't mind having their photos taken! These shots are great and ones they probably never would have let you take!! Great guy page and I really like how you used the film strips. Also, great job on the flowers!!!
Love the different alphas you used in the title - they look great! I love the whole fun feel of the page, and the fact that it shows that little boys never quite grow up - brilliant!
