Siblings Weekend Scrapbook: Part 8

Continuing with my Simple Stories mini album for the "Siblings Weekend" trip my husband and sister-in-law took.  This is a two-page spread of various yummy eats during the weekend:


On the left-hand page, I used a dark pink as the base page, with two yummy looking plates of food (makes me hungry just looking at it!).


My sister-in-law identified all of the foods in the pictures on the "food to remember" journalling card.


On the right-hand page, I used a black piece of paper with black dots on it.  I used two more photos, and then fussy cut the Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup.  The food in the photos and the two embellishments pop against the black background.


Because they were in Boston in January and it was fairly chilly, I used a little sticker of a coffee mug with steam with the Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup.


I also used a paperclip that said "oh, yeah!" to highlight the yummy food.


More pages from the Siblings Weekend scrapbook to come!

Review of Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman

A fanciful and fun book.  The dad's story is quite the journey, and proves that even buying buying the milk he can save the day, or even save the world!  A quick but delightful read that I think would make a fantastical movie.  :)
