Made With Love Nov 08 Challenge

Challenge by Emeline:

- Scrap an event/milestone that is important to you/loved ones

- De-hoard: use precious items that we've been hoarding

Such a fun challenge and I did two layouts quite quickly.

1) Allow me to introduce you to my Little Friend
Thanks to Grandma, Jonathan discovered his little friend when he turned one. Then the next time I bathed Jon, I got Simon to take a photo of Jonathan pointing out his answer when I asked him where his friend was, LOL!

De-hoarded my precious Love Elsie patterned papers (I've hoarded them for about 2 years!) and a soft charm. Too bad that Elsie Flannigan is no longer with the major manufacturer and will be starting her own big online store and little art boutique in her hometown (opening in Feb 09).

2) Step by Step

Stairs, how Jonathan loves to climb them. From 8months young, he has been climbing them, even all the way to the second floor. We had to put a barrier at the stairs. But there's still the steps in our split-level living room...LOL! I finally used one of the Bisous patterned papers that I bought since Mar 2008. The other time I used this pp was when I did Li Yen and Jack's wedding ann. Was stuck as to what embellishments to use. Then it came in a flash and I did the right hand side of the LO first...with my fave plastic vintage flowers and chipboard alphas, and de-hoard item: bug brads. The left side was looking a little plain till I de-hoarded my Hambly and Basic Grey rub-ons (before they become stuck).
