The Elmo Phone: My Creative Scrapbook

Like many toddlers, my little one was obsessed with both Elmo and telephones. Put the two together and I had a very happy 2-year-old.

This is my little guy on his 2nd birthday making his first call on the Elmo telephone.  Apparently Elmo wanted to talk to my brother, Michael.  Isn't it funny how - no matter how old you are - if a kid hands you a telephone, you'll talk to Elmo?  Even if you're a marine. :)


I used the April kit at My Creative Scrapbook to make this layout. The kit featured Bo Bunny's Surprise collection and I immediately pulled out this fun ABC paper. I knew it would be perfect for a toddler page.


The kit includes lot of fun chipboard elements. Here, I embellished the chipboard pennants with stickers. A tag under the photo anchors the layout and provides a spot for the title.

I'm glad you stopped by!  We're off to the beach for a few days of R&R.  I'll be back with a new post next week. Have a great weekend.
