Interesting layout but unfortunately I can't read your language and I do want to know the story of that photo! Nice design with the mixed paper bits and the blues and golds.
 
@flowersgal : "nyctalope" is a word used to refer to an animal able to see at night (like a cat). It's generally not a common word in the vocabulary of a child. The article in the big photo is about a 5 yo saying nyctalope in class and being sent to the headmaster's office because the teacher thought the child had said something very rude (the teacher apparently didn't know the word and also it sounds similar to something very rude... but I won't give a French slang lesson here). DH stumbled upon the article being shared on facebook and he had to share it with us in turn (smaller screen capture), because we have a family history with that word.
My oldest surprised his grandfather when he was about 4 yo by telling him he agreed to go out with him by nightfall because he was "nyctalope". Grand-Pa was very surprised that his grand-son knew the word and its meaning (though obviously, it wasn't that dark outside, which is why my son could see :)). And since DH remined us all of the "nyctalope" story, I of course had to document it.
