Fall-To Layout #160

Here are some pictures of RJ from today. This is the first time that I've seen him sit on his couch like a person. I think it's funny and weird at the same time. This pot roast recipe is cooking downstairs in the slow cooker. I've sneaked a couple of bits and I'm really liking it. I think it'd go great with some egg noodles. I had to adjust the recipe some because I have a smaller slow cooker. I also added some beef broth and water to increase the amount of gravy at the bottom.

Here's my take on Fall-To Layout #160. I started out with a piece of leftover kraft cardstock from yesterday's cardmaking session. I had stamped Antique Linen Distress Ink on it and then decided that the image didn't stand out enough. Instead of tossing it into the recycling bin, I decided to cover the whole card front with patterned paper. Crisis averted! :)
