'An awesome book'

This book was the inspiration for the latest Design Team Challenge over at SBO from Vicky. And it is such a cool book by an American author Dallas Clayton - check it out here! From what I can tell I think it may only be available in the US, but I so want my own copy!

For the challenge we had to take inpiration from this book for a layout - I took this quote - "Close your eyes my child, and dream that perfect dream inside your head" - and I created this:

Actually we had been talking about dreams earlier last week. I woke to find Emma sitting beside my bed at 3am - when asked what was wrong she said she was having dreams about bad superheroes! I told her to leave the door open a bit wider and they would go away, but obviously they didn't coz she was back 30 min later! This time I told her my pillow scared them away so she took that back to bed with her, and slept soundly for the rest of the night. So the next day we talked about dreams and she decided a good thing to dream about was 'Mamma Mia'. So now we have 'Mamma Mia' dreams to keep us safe at night! :)
