This month's QK Club die is a wishbone. How cute is this! I've used the Harvest font and scalloped oval on this card

I had so much fun doing this layout! The story came about as we came across this poor Elmo toy in the flower bed on our way to the park. We made up a story as to how he came to rest here and it just kept going getting funnier and funnier!
For the "newspaper clipping" I printed my journaling on yellow/ivory cardstock to mimic newsprint leaving lines around the text boxes. I made the Sesame Street sign using rounded rectangles, a half circle and Studio skinny mini alphabet. Title font is Diesel Classic, stars are from the USA set and the negative is from the exclusive Archiver's photo strip border. Stitching is actually rubons.
Journaling--the story behind the photo:
Making baguettes. Grace and I decided to make baguettes to have with our pasta dinner. For dinner we sliced open the loaves and added garlic butter. They were delicious. While I made the "real" ones, she wanted to make her own mini version. It was the cutest little bitty baguette! But she could not seem to remember the word baguette and referred to them as bernadettes. It was so cute the name stuck and forever more baguettes will be known in my kitchen as bernadettes.
As we were cleaning up after our bread baking, grampa Randy came in and proceeded to give Grace a hard time, as he is prone to do. They love teasing each other. She picked up the rolling pin and proclaimed, "I think Randy needs a rolling pin treatment!" We laughed so hard at the look on her face with the evil rolling pin ready to start swinging. I love that Grace has the family trait whacky sense of humor. We always have such fun when she comes to stay with us.
