One of my favorite times is when my children curl up on my lap and we read books together.  We have many favorites at our house but the ones the kids love the best always have a bit of the unexpected.    Blue has hidden a clue in the book, can you find out what she wants to be for Halloween?   We lift each flap until we figure out our three clues!  It makes reading so much more fun to have a bit of interaction.    The same can hold true in your scrapbooks.   This month the City Planners have chosen to use Hinges & Ribbons to create the interactive Hidden Surprises on their pages. There are many different reasons to use the hinges.  We can see on Nancy Roger's layout that she chose to have extra photos be hidden.  What a great way to get more photos on the page!  Colette Stucki has chosen to place some touching journaling under hers.  The possibilities are endless.  There is a fantastic selection of ribbons and hinges in the General Store! Tana would love to help you out! The City Planners have created so many wonderful layouts and cards for you this month to help get you inspired! Drop them a line and let them know what you think in the Post Office too. They would love to hear from you!

** Special Note - I know that a lot of you with dial ups find it hard to view the City Planner feature so we have made the images smaller for you! *Ü* Now all you have to do is click on the layout to see a larger view! **
