Another remake of a page from my US scrapbook. I actually split one page - of some pictures taken in the summer of 2000 - into two layouts. This is the first of the two, which is all about the son of another grad student (who is also a close friend), and about how they came to name him Mac. The pictures were taken at his older sister's birthday in May and at his first birthday in July. I love making the little banners and how they give the layout a summery feel - to remind us of all the picnics and barbecues we had back then. I also wrote the journaling by hand and incorporated it into the layout as the string from which the banners were hanging, leaving the page looking clean and simple.
Journaling: "Mac is such a sweet little boy, the second child and only son of Cesar and Arlene. Cesar has this neat little story of how they came up with the name: in Gaelic, it literally means "son of"... and since he is the one and only son, it's so him."
Supplies: Cardstock (All About Scrapbooking and Star Paper Corporation), patterned paper (DCWV), paper flowers (Prima), fabric tape (Shallow Grass), felt letter stickers, flower trim, & acrylic flowers (All About Scrapbooking), black pigment ink pen (Uni), others - lace.

Again thank you for joining our 1st sketch challenge at Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog. I like the way you did the banner and how you incorporated your journaling as part of the banner - a creative way of combining them.
