Into the Future

At the risk of sounding like my Grandmother, we only had a house phone when I was this age -

At 10, this guy can ably use a computer, juggle 3 remote controls at the same time, operate a dvd recorder, a Wii, an iPod, an iPod touch, an iPhone, all sorts of video game thingys whose names escape me, a digital camera and cope with all manner of other futuristic gadgets that I probably haven't heard of.

What I am glad about though is that he still enjoys a good book, a run in the park, Karate, swimming, anything to do with history and building Lego. In these photos history and technology happily combine as he makes a mini video of his Roman soldiers! For the moment there is balance; as for the future, who can tell?

I used BG paper and rub-on letters, MM metal brads and a TH sprocket.

Thanks for looking :)

Love the simple graphic feel of this page.

So true - they're proficient at technology at an early age these days! As long as they get the other types of activity though it does feel balanced. The Girl made a blog for her World War II history project last term, complete with video clips and digital photos!!

Scary, isn't it?!

This is a beautiful page Giselle. I love it.

Stunning page - you have the art of balance off to a T. And a nice eye for a story too! Yes, I can't believe that my two-year old grandson can ask his Mum and Dad in two languages if he can have a play on their iphone!

Giselle, it is always such a pleasure to drop by and see what you have been up to - your current layouts are very inspiring ... hmmm ... now I need to make time and clear some space to get out the supplies and get scrapping!
