Header...

I cannot take total credit for my header..
In the November CK, "Dear Lizzy" column (pages 105-106), Elizabeth Kartchner gave directions how to do this.. using traditional scrapbook supplies and PhotoShop (someday!!!).
I used my supplies, made it 8 x 2 1/2 inches and embellished away!
I scanned it in to my pictures at 300 dpi, and saved it, then re-sized it to 650 x 250 pixels.
I went into my Layout tab, clicked on the header, and uploaded the desired file. Saved the changes. I already had my template set to "Minima", which you have the option to do black or white, and changed my font and outline colors to match..
Super easy..
So customized...

Same 3 pics..

Same 3 pics.. same quote.. 3 different layouts..
I had a few good ideas (inspiration) I wanted to use, but not all on the same layout.. so I did three, one for the family album, one for Lynn's, and one for Ashley's.
Sooo much fun!!
Quote from February CK, a layout by Ria Mojica (page 97). Hers also features a pic of her girls holding hands.
This one was inspired by half of a layout by EKartch (my made-up nickname for Elizabeth Kartchner), love her stuff! The layout is also in the February CK (page 94).
Lastly, I hunted for a top note template for my journaling spot.. came away from Google tonight highly disappointed.. so I made one up! It's at the bottom of the post..
Patterned paper: Making Memories; Embossed paper: KI Memories, Love Elsie; solid papers: Bazzill, Die Cuts With a View. The swirl stamps are another latest fav by Autumn Leaves.
Watch for a Valentine's Day give away tomorrow!!
