Merry Christmas

Beautifully designed, Janice. So well-balanced and love all the elements.

Merry Christmas everyone, only one more sleep.

Actually, I appropriated one of my layouts and tweaked it for my Christmas card. Having a little difficulty with originality lately, so templates and re-using old stuff is really helping me with designing.

And yes, those photo blocks are off center on purpose. For some reason, although I'm a very symmetrical designer, I have to offset something in a layout.  (Photos are blocked for privacy reasons)



Suggestion:  if you have enough hard drive space -- save all your layouts as psd's with all layers intact.  You can re-use designs and you can easily grab stuff off the layout to use on another layout. Sometimes it's easier to grab a design element off a layout than to look through numerous scrapbook kits to find things.



I can see re-using that lantern many times.  It was designed by Rosie at Just Art - she is sooooo good at what she does.  She is a painter as well as a scrapbook designer.  She often uses original paintings in her scrapbook kits.

For those of you from the old scrapping sites, Rosie's skills reminds me of Wendy Williams.  Wendy was a master of design.  I so miss her and her beautiful work.
