Crazed Emu

I am trying to get in the mood for the Halloween Blog Party (see my sidebar) so I have decided to do a few Halloween pages.

These pics were taken at a local pumpkin patch. Poor Rayna, she didn't know what to do - I yelled, "runnnnn baby!" LOL

Close up of the story and the rolled paper embelly. I like how it turned out - better if the rolls are different heights and inked, IMO.

This is the Crazed Emu just before he bit her! I used my paper crimper on the leaves again because I really love the effect. Loving using a tool I haven't used for awhile.


We'll go back to this patch again but never near the Emu!

Really love the paper rolling! It sure looks like hard work...I tried it once...only managed 3 rolls because it got way too tedious...lol..

Fabulous layout to go with that real life story ...I've never been that up close and personal with an emu! The poor girl!

I always wanted to hug animals as a little tot (still do, come to think of it), and so I got pretty beat up by the not so cuddly ones. I was chased by a goat when I was approx. 4yrs old, and a pair of geese robbed me of my entire ice cream and cone when I was around 2 yrs old. Love the layout btw!
