Little Ben and Big Ben

Oh these then and nows always melt my heart! How quickly they grow. I've been wanting to digify some of my boys' old pix, this is great inspiration. I love the crayons in your cluster and the requisite winding string/button combo. Also just lapping up the two title styles linked by my beloved ampersand. (Note to self: look up entomology of ampersand.) The final yummy touch is the stitched border. Sweet sweet layout, thank you for sharing this lovely child/man.

I love your brush work and great title work

Wow. They grow up so fast don't they? I love the different age photos on the same layout! The background looks so cool with the ink. What a great idea to use the ABC paper underneath.

Because I adore Glee, I sent her the complete history of the Ampersand! I think your title is superb! I love the childlike font and the adult font joined by Glee's Ampersand. I love the two pictures, the similar poses and the journaling that observes the change that time has wrought. I love the buttons holding down the ribbon. I love the flowers and clusters and the childlike elements that lurk only on the picture of little Ben. Jill, I love everything, I truly do.
