"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step" - Lao Tzu
oooh, or how about this one: "There is a woman at the beginning of all great things." - Alphonse de Lamartine
One step... check. One woman...check. I think we can begin.
I had a very loose idea in my head for a layout from pictures I took at the Got to Be NC Festival a couple weeks ago. The pictures had such a great sense of motion and whimsy, I was really looking forward to scrapping them out. Then I saw a call from Scrapstreet looking for "Sweetly Simple" layouts that "showcase a minimalist style." Put it together, and I came up with:
I'm really enthusiastic about this layout, although getting a good picture was a challenge. First I used the Truly Amazing Scanner at Archiver's, but for the first time ever, it didn't give me a good image. It picked up a lot of the watermarking on the page, and you couldn't see the birds at all. So then I had to fuss with my camera and iPhoto, and in the end, maybe the colors aren't perfectly true, but I got it on the web!
Yes, that is The Nugget's (my son) first ride on a carnival swing. And yes, the Barbecue at the Fair was to die for.
