A Boy and His Dog



This post contains a couple of things that I am happy about - at last I have managed to work out how to crop a photo so that whatever I am photographing my layout on is minimised :)  This has bothered me for ages and ages, and it was only when I read another blog post about creating collages in Picasa that I was having a play and worked out how to do it (getting it from Picasa to my blog was another matter entirely - thanks Alex!)  So hopefully all my layout pics should now be slightly more professional looking!

The second thing that I am happy about is the actual layout!  I found a piece of patterned paper that was like a shelf of books, and this was one of the titles.  I have had this picture waiting to be scrapped for ages and when I saw the book title I knew that the two had to go together.  I am really pleased with this one, and it came together quite quickly :)

  3. Aw, yeah, looooooove this one!!! Wow, it's stunning, love the circle and the vertical stripe down the side (is that stamped?), the banner and stars, and the punched strips... Did I mention I love this layout?! Funny thing about puddles tasting better in the forest. Reminds me of last night, Nolan had a bath with some bath salts (he had a pretty rotten cold) and decided to eat some of the salts! I just about freaked!!! "It's not like table salt! You can't eat that stuff!!!" Silly kid, you have to watch him every minute.
