I have a new layout in an article over at Get It Scrapped and I LOVE it! This is a technique that I had not tried before and I am so glad I did! The article is about using photographs that are 6″ x 12″ on a layout. HERE

I am embarrassed to say there is a type-O in my remarks there. It says I used various “dots” which if you look at the layout I obviously did not, I used various “fonts”. The main reason I have not tried this before is the size of the photograph. I do not have a printer that will handle a 12″ photo. Solution I had two photos printed at my local shop as 11″ x 14″, ones I knew that I could crop 2″ of the 14″ length and 5″ of the 11″ width. Here is a close up of some details.
I also created a second layout using a 6″ x 12″ photo since I had 2 printed just in case and ended up loving this one equally as well.

This is one of those pages that fell together. I am so glad I printed both photos and was able to complete the two page layout as well.
In the Copic world we have added some of the last classes of the 2014 onto the schedule! You can chef them in the class listing, just click on the link over to the right. If you near any of these last stopping spots the classes are all spectacular an worth the time and effort.
On the family front the girls are loving school! Loving it! Sara happily reports she still has not gotten lost in the Middle School hallways and just this week beat ALL the girls and ALL but one boy in the pull up testing for PE. You go girl! Lori loves her class and teacher and is thriving in ELP she particularly loves this pull out time. She has become as veracious a reader as Sara and spends much time poring over the 3 to 4 books she likes to have going all at once.
Life here in Des Moines is cruising right along. We are praying for John’s sister Sheri as she is struggling mightily with her health again and we desire peace and comfort for her.
Happy Thursday all!
