Lemonade Mouth

I have been playing along with the challenges at CSI, since their second case file was posted and I have to say that the color scheme for Case File #8 has been my MOST favorite yet!!  The minute I saw it, I knew what photos I wanted to use, what the theme of my page would be, and what papers I would use!  It all came together in my head...it's just taken me this long to actually have time to sit down and do it!!  :)




I took these photos at lunch, because we have never been able to get our son to drink from a straw, even though his is 2 1/2!!  He is a sippy cup kid all the way.  Well, we decided to try it with the Lemonade and see how things went.  To our surprise he picked it up right away and loved drinking from the straw!  Unfortunately for me and hubby, we had to take turns holding the cup, because he didn't want to stop drinking from it!!  :)

For the evidence portion of my page, I used stars and transparent embellishments.  I had some of the transparent buttons, that I added as accents to the hexagon pattern.  I journaled from the "Star of the Show" perspective since this page was about my son and the first time he used a straw.  We were all very entertained by this...especially Nana and Big Daddy (grandparents), who think everything that the kids do, is amazingly wonderful!!  :)
