Day 187: A Boy Is A Joy

For this page of my son, I used this brown football paper from Echo Park Paper as a background to coordinate with the sepia tones of the photo.  The red wood paper I used as a mat for the photo and for the tag is from My Mind's Eye. I made some photo corners from a fabric tag by Making Memories and put the photo corners under the upper left corner of the tag and the lower right corner of the photo mat.  Usually I would put them on top; however, I think because the texture and color of the fabric made them look heavier than the red paper, they looked better underneath. The sign " A Boy is a Joy" was by EK Success.  I punched out the spots for the brads, added red brads from Oriental Trading Company and some twine from my stash.  I also cut a football  out of the background paper and used it to fill in the "o" in "boy". I used a football-shaped sticker from 7Gypsies to cover up the "o" in joy; the sticker says "amazing".
