Nothing Tricky













There's nothing tricky about the focal on this two-page spread.  It's size and fancy mat alongside the title border (title cut with my Silhouette) draw the eye without any extra fuss.  But I liked the way they turned out so thought I'd show them to you.  On the second page, I liked the idea of using different backgrounds - stripes for the men and flowers for the ladies.  Love those white gel pens that allow me to write on dark paper!

Cheryl: love the 2-page spread! The title letters are large enough that they stand out against the pattern paper. And the 2nd page is fantastic how you grouped and separated the men and women. But most of all, it is very precious about capturing the family moment.

About my "Betty" card, the sunflower is a doily. I wrapped it to the back side, so I will have to put a note on the envelope about being very careful removing. Thanks for taking time to comment. :)
