2009 Year In Review

This is my 3rd Year in Review layout. In 2009, we celebrated 3 years begin married & 10 years together!

Here's the text in case it's too small to read:
The kiddos from Lockhart came for a visit to the zoo in January. In February SD & I volunteered with Ashley, & friends to make tacos at the Rodeo Fajita Corral. In March we volunteered for the 2nd year in a row to take & process photos at the MS Walk. I started working for March of Dimes in February and by May we had recruited American Idol finalist, Haley Scarnato to sing at our walk! I learned to drive a scissor lift to hang banners from the scaffolding & there was a downpour on walk day so we were soaked to the bone after cleaning up the park. In June we took a road trip to Omaha, NE for SD’s graduation from Bellevue Univ. His mom, dad, brother, SIL, nephew & nieces and my sister and nephews met us there! We were all so proud of him. After the ceremony, we took the kids to the Omaha Zoo for some fun. In July, we drove to Austin for my multi-class HS reunion (14 years for me.) Later that month we took a weekend trip to Rockport and enjoyed the ocean for a couple of days. In September, I flew to Minnesota so Lynn and I could go to Scrapfest. Then in December, SD and I took our first trip to NYC! We did all the touristy things we could fit into 5 days!

I used a kit called Floralessence by Bon Scrapatit.

Week 5 Assignment

Ok - week 5 assignment was to create a collage that:
-Demonstrates accurate use of color, especially for rendering of lighting and shadows.
-Unifies a selection of dissimilar source images.
-Demonstrates strong composition, with a clear center of focus.

What do you think?

Week 4 Assignment

I need some feedback for an assignment that’s due Saturday. So please leave me a comment & let me know what you think. The assignment was to create a layout that:

1 - Unifies a selection of lines, shapes, colors, values, and directions.
2 - Demonstrates harmony, dominance, balance, proportion, unity, repetition, and contrast.

I was inspired by a painting we saw in one of the videos where the artist was explaining the various elements and principles of design. This is for a grade, so please feel free to be honest. I need to get this right.
Gracias!

2009 Holiday Card

SD & I took Christmas Pics for the first time this year with my friends Alison & Pete. It was a lot of fun! Here's the card I created from a couple shots. There are SO many cute ones - I can't wait to scrap them.
