Jim, these are really fun. They have a scrapbook look that is really nice. I like to use some drop shadows on the ovals to help separate and add depth. I like your choice of background paper with your background.
I love making the books. I am trying different companies but have not settled on one. Do you have one you like.
As far as the collages are concerned, I adore doing them and my biggest problem is I do not write down each step. It is difficult to have fun playing and break the play with writing things down. So if anyone has questions about areas we have worked on within these collages, I am sure Jim, Julie or any of us would be glad to answer.
