A friend has recently had a baby. As she already had a boy and didn't need more boy things, she asked if I could "do him a page a bit like Angus's book."
This is what I made for him. I acknowledge that there are few original ideas here, but all the work is mine including the photos!

| Most of the photos were taken by me of Joel when he was three days old. The colours in the hospital were too contrasting so B and W made co-ordinating easier and the whole layout cohere better. |

I am really pleased with the finished page, (even Ken thought it was rather good!) and as I said, just boasting!
