inside matthew's book (part two)

does anyone else feel like it's nearly taken longer for me to tell you about my club scrap wired book project than it did for nephew matthew to experience the 20 months covered in the photos? luckily he's a rather handsome young lad, and i, for one, *NEVER* get tired of looking at that sweet face!

in any case, here are the rest of the pages of his book, which i made for the the current CAARDVARKS 3-D challenge, depth perception. the cute poem came from this site; (no author was listed, but if anyone knows, let me know; i'm happy to give credit!) the font used throughout is called "fishbowl" and was free on an internet font site. (sorry, i don't remember offhand which one.)

Little Boys

Little boys come in all shapes and sizes,
Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,
With misshapen halos and mischievous grins,
Small dirty faces, and sweet, sticky chins.
They'll keep you so busy, and yet all the while
Nothing can brighten the world like their smile.
And no greater treasure has brought homes more joy
Than a curious, active, and lovable boy!

eta on tuesday 6-9: many thanks to CHERYL for pointing out my un-noticed spelling error in "brought"!!! luckily, with such simple page design, it should be easy enough to print out another copy of that photo and replace the embellishments. i am *very* happy to have caught this error BEFORE presenting the book to matthew and his mama! ♥
