NSD Challenge #9 - MPS

This is two page layout, but I have a lot of pictures of my little one on there that I figured I shouldn't put online so I'm only uploading one page for now. Anyhow, I LOVED the example on MPS of the dino with the pictures. I had been trying to figure out how to scrap my son's 1st birthday. My husband had been deployed and I figured I should do something for my little guy's birthday even though Daddy wasn't there(it's hard to have to do everything without the husband - but such is military life sometimes). The older two kids were driving me CRAZY over wanting cake. They decided that we should have a "frog" birthday. So I made an ice cream cake as it was the middle of the summer....(not really wanting to show that one as it turned out horrible looking - but tasting great!)... The kids wouldn't leave me alone to make the cake so it didn't turn out as I had planned. I finally gave up and slopped it together before it melted. I only took a few pictures, but some of them were priceless(which is really what I want for the memories afterall). The little guy really enjoyed his first taste of ice cream.... anyhow, I had forgotten to put up the decorations that I had as the kids had been driving me crazy that day. Still, once I saw the example on MPS I knew that would be perfect for his birthday layout! Just wish it had more places for photos like the dino did! Oh I also used the center point function on my cricut to cut out the "belly" of the frog with a picture. I hadn't done that before and it was great! That opens up a lot more creative possibilities! Happy Scrappin'!
