To be honest, I don’t think my kids have ever said, “Mom, I’m bored,” and I don’t
think I ever said it myself. I guess
that being an avid reader has filled me with curiosity, imagination and the
knowledge that there is always something
for me to do – usually more things to do that I ever have time for! My kids were both really good about
entertaining themselves, too. Luckily
for me, Lain was talking about board
games, not being bored (would a page about being bored be boring?), and I
had the perfect layout in mind!
My wonderful husband, Mark, has often told this funny story
about playing Monopoly with this Dad. So
years ago, when Jolee’s came out with this cute miniature Monopoly board
embellishment, I knew I had to make a page about it. I bought that embellishment in
2000-something, but I just never did anything with it. I didn’t have a photo of the event, or any photo of my father-in-law playing a
board game, for that matter, but I took Lain’s suggestion of just finding a
random photo of the person and using that.
I actually made Mark hand-write his journaling, but it was so long it
didn’t fit on the page so I typed it instead, using a casual font. I was missing the letter “M” from my Scrabble
tiles, so I decided to use a die-cut for the 1st letter on both
words instead.
Once again, my page was quick, easy, and not too fussy.
If you like my layouts, you can find more on my Flickr gallery, including
layouts from each of the 6 LOADs I have participated in.
