This layout is pretty simple for the most part, but I decided that, to mirror my son's activity in the photos, I wanted an interactive component with the hoop being able to raise or lower over the pumpkin. After consulting numerous books that featured moving parts, plus consulting my civil engineer husband, I finally just attached a string to the hoop and threaded it through a series of eyelets, with the ends being tied off with large beads to prevent the string from slipping out of the eyelets. Sometimes the simple solution is best!

Another great layout and love the little pumpkin holding the hula-hoop. Sometimes scrapbook pages can be so complex that even the civil engineer has problems on implementing them...great job on your success. Like how you always have your layout a mirror of the activity in your photos. Thanks again for sharing your pages with us at Double Trouble and The Paper Girls.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, Cheryl! What a fabulous idea to create an interactive scrapbook page. I love the fact that the children are playing with hula hoops and a pumpkin - great stuff! Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble Challenge #37.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun layout and perfect for your pictures. We host a pumpkin party every year, but I never thought of ringing the pumpkin...I might have a new game to play this year.
