On Monday night we went out for Q's 35th birthday. We had dinner at a restaurant in Yorkville, where I ordered my new very favourite appetizer: Avocado Frites. That's thick slices of avocado dipped in panko crumbs and deep fried. Yum.
The birthday boy was looking handsome:
and I enjoyed a glass of Gamay while we waited for the entrees:
The restaurant was sandwiched between Bloor St. and the U of T campus, so we got a few shots with the ivy covered buildings:
...then headed up to Bloor St. for a little window shopping. Q didn't want me to bother a complete stranger to take a photo of us, so I embarked on some self portraits:
Take one: blurry
Take two: blurry, but kinda cool.
Take three: Q saw this store window and suggested we try that...
Take four: I took the same idea but made it a little more romantic. ;)
Then between shows yesterday I took the new Studio Calico "Boardwalk" kit, which I just LOVE, and created this layout:
I printed the photo off in 6x8, which is only .39 at my local photo developer. Such a great deal!
I then intertwined the twine with brads around the page. It's fun to see what you can come up with when you're scrapping away from home and don't have all your regular tools about.
It's no secret that I love alphas, and between the main kit and the on add-on there were four alphas! Wee!
I love the pics with the ivy covered buildings...always wanted to take one of those! =D Love your LO: great color scheme, love the punching, and the photo! Very nice!
