Layout Gallery is ready

Very nice Julie. I love the mosaic like technique you use on some pages. Great way to get lots of pictures on a page in an artistic way. Keep sharing you do a really nice job.

Great Layouts Julie! I especially like them because they are not so overdone with to much embellishments and such... Susanne

Great pages Julie. I love how you work with the colors. You have such a cute subject to scrap, too! :-) Keep it up. I look forward to seeing more LO's from you!

Great LO's Julie. I like multiple photos on a page....except for some like the hot air balloons. That is beautiful. Your Christmas Day LO is similar to the style I am looking for for my family reunion LO's. Where did you get the St. Louis Zoo diecut? I love it. I have a packet of photos from a trip there I really need to scrap. My Mom and Step-Dad lived two miles from the zoo when I was a kid. I spend a couple of weeks with them every summer. We walked there almost everyday. I used to just sit and watch the people act goofy trying to get the animals to notice them. Thanks for sharing. Sandy

Wow - thanks for all of the kind words everyone!

The St. Louis Zoo die cut actually came from a local store that had a laser cutting machine. I don't know if they have a web presence or not, as the store recently closed and had a grand re-opening. I haven't been there since they re-opened, so I don't know if they even still have what they had before. I hope they do - because they also cut all of the local High School names out of the school colors. And I don't know of anywhere else I could get such a thing.

For those of you who commented about the layouts with a ton of pics, those are inspired by Becky Higgins' Sketch books. I got both volumes for Christmas. :-) I usually have 20-30 pictures I want to scrap for the holiday layouts, and some of her sketches (along with some super jumbo punches and a new "holiday slab" of paper) helped make that possible. I'm not sure I would have come up with those arrangements on my own.
