Layouts by the numbers

Room sign

Jake's old room sign was Thomas the Train themed, and his poor door has stood blank for years at this point.  When I asked him which friends he wanted pictures of for his new door sign (one that I was DETERMINED to make during Christmas vacation!), he said "Just Milo."

Milo is Jake's cat who lives with Nana.  And actually, having JUST Milo to deal with made the endeavor a lot easier for me.  He was actually excited when I showed him the finished product (which is nice, since most of what I get from his 10 year old self is rolled eyes.)

Dog Day

So this was such a fun day, I did an entire mini-album about it.  But I also wanted to put it in Jake's chronological album, thus this quick layout.

Dog Day at the Bakery

So my husband's aunt and uncle own a bakery in the adjoining town.  And it's a pretty dang good one.  It's been open almost two years now, and we're there constantly.  (Also, my mom works there, so we're always visiting Nana.)

In addition to selling people food, the bakery sells dog treats.  This summer they decided to have kind of a parking lot fair for dogs and their people.  It was SOOO much fun to see everyone there with dogs of all sizes - and I mean ALL sizes.  3 pound Chihuahuas and huge dogs that had to be close to 150 pounds.  Crazy stuff.

Jake was highly amused by all the goings on - and is obsessed with dogs anyway - so I made him a book of all our new dog friends.  :)  It's a 7x9 book, ordered from Shutterfly. ---> (View the album at Shutterfly by clicking here.) <---  I left quite a bit of white space around the edges, and have added a black outline for the web images to make them easier to view.

For this first page, I copy/pasted the promo e-mail they sent out.

Milo Kitty, 8x8

 

This uses two of the pictures from a previous post.  My normal albums are 8.5x11, and we have several 8x8 albums - one of which is for pet pictures.

I used some seriously cute KiMemories stuff - the "Pet Shop" line.
