WISCONSIN STATE FAIR

Again, I'm posting this when I should be packing. This is my first double page spread. I took so many different bits and pieces from different kits this time, and it got a little complicated. It's simpler than my other layouts, but there's so many pictures that I think it balances out. Click on it to get a better look.

This one took me FOREVER! At first, I kept trying to find papers/elements that matched the colors in the pictures. But my friend Bonnie suggested that instead of trying to go matchy-matchy, I could just capture the mood of the pictures by using bright colors. I took her advice and loved the result.

A "Pear" of Cuties

I nicked the title from another layout using this design found on Scraporchard.com.
I like the way this turned out, and I think it was so easy to do because of they fabulous theme kit.

SPLISH SPLASH

Okay, so I might as well just post these up on my other blog, I've been doing so few lately. Anyways, I need a little advice on this one, if anyone has any. It's missing something and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Jam Session

I found this program called FontCreator that let's you make a font out of your own hand-writing. I'm now trying to use my 'hand-writing' font on more of my stuff, even though I have awful penmanship.
