Sneek Peek...

Here are the two layouts that we are going to be using for the upcoming club night on April 12th. The first one is just the design - you will be using the 'Sophia' paper pack. The colors in it are pear, goldrush, blush and hollyhock. On the layout there is space for 2 4x6 pictures and three 2x3 pictures. You could also substitute some of the 2"circle patterned papers with pictures.

The second one is based on the 'Grand Finale' layout in Imagine. I have used the 'Fanfare' paper pack. There is a spot for a vertical 5x7" photo and 3 2"x2" or 2."5x2.5" photos on my layout but you could customize it to suit your photos somewhat. I think that we'll jazz up the title too - maybe some glitter or fun flock!
