I'm pretty happy with the way today's page came together. 6 May 2011 This is the digitally stitched version, but you can see the individual pages in my gallery. [Yes, once again I used the number '3' as an 'e'. Hey...it works. I also used an anti-static pad on the backs of the 'l's and the '3/e' that stick above the folder. This way, the stickiness was removed and they don't stick to the background. It's a handy little trick.] The green folder holds hidden journaling. The ribbon pull on the right is the signal to open it. Journaling reads: "I'm a summer girl at heart. Give me some warm weather, some flip flops and some country music and I'm good to go. However, nothing beats the smell of a summer night, smoke coming off a hot grill and classic foods juicy full of flavor. My favorites? Dad's grilled chicken [amazing hot or cold!], burgers with lots of ooey gooey melty cheese and the occasional hot dog. [Dogs done over a crackling bonfire followed by smores are the best.] The sights of smoke, the sounds of grill utensils and fire pops, the smells of summer. All long winter I crave the grill. There's just something amazing about the flavors created that can't be duplicated on a stovetop or in a restaurant. Now that I've got my own new house-complete with grill-summer can't come fast enough! I'm so over the cold, the rain and the wind. Bring on the warm weather and let's get grilling!
