Here is my entry for Marcee's Material Girl Challenge, using her Landau kit. I chose this picture because it embodies my then 2-year-old son being grouchy, which was (and still is) not an uncommon occurence. This led to his nickname, "Crabzilla."
The kit used is RoseMade Design\'s Landau kit. I used 2 different papers and blended them for the background. I then used the third paper (as required by the challenge) to do the border. The border is a template from Christine Nash. I wanted the border to sorta look like buildings being crushed under Crabzilla, which is why I chose to emboss the title in that border.
The journaling reads:
"When he was an infant, Justin was the sweetest baby ever. Then around 4 months old, he discovered his voice, and along with that - his ATTITUDE. From that moment on, his nickname became CRABZILLA because he could be such a crab. We called him “Zilla” for short. This picture personifies The Almighty Crabzilla in all his two-year old grouchiness. "

Well done! I want to say it's funny, but I can imagine this particular persona was anything but. The colors work so well with his picture and I definitely like the blocked border.

He is adorable, crabby or not. That is easy for me to say though because I don't have to deal with his moods.I love your page, the block border looks great. He is sooo cute, those big brown eyes and blonde fringe.
