Dad's Rule

 
Good Sunday afternoon! I completed a scrapbook page last weekend and I'm just tickled with how it turned out. I know it's not autumn but I can't resist sharing this page.

Ever since my daughter was a baby nine years ago my MIL has taken us and my BIL/SIL families to the local pumpkin patch. My husband's rule has always been that the kids can get any pumpkin they can carry. My five year old just barely made it with this pumpkin this year.




Here's a close-up of the title. The light stamping of the text really added a subtle, but needed "oomph" to the title area (IMHO).

Stamp: Text Style 2 (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink)
Other: bracket rub-on (Sassafrass Lass); alpha rub-ons "DAD" (Autumn Leaves); alpha stickers "RULE" (American Crafts); row of circle numbers at bottom (Glitz)

Enjoy the what's left of your weekend (and you PTI fans enjoy the rest of the upcoming sneak peaks!)

Nice layout and what a great subject to scrap about. I would never have thought to use the Text background stamp to add some oomph. You're so clever like that! And can I say what nice handwriting you have? I was trying to figure out if it was stamp or something, but nope that's just your writing! Im so jealous! :o>

Love your page. Text style gives it just what it needed. I'm surprised the stem didn't rip off the pumpkin in that last pic!
