GRAPHICALLY SPEAKING: Use circles to highlight journaling

Hello Everyone!!

We are still featuring CIRCLES this week and all the ways to use them in your projects!  Today's layout is from GRAPHICALLY SPEAKING cricut cartridge (an oldie but goodie).












The circles are a major part of my journaling for this layout.  They number my TOP TEN FAVORITE MEMORIES.  My most favorite memories always include my children which is why I chose this photo for this page.  The photo is a 12x12 that I ordered from Costco's photo department and it takes up a whole page.

Because the photo is so big, it's okay that there aren't any photos on the left side at all... which is good, because my journaling takes up all the space.

Don't forget about the CRICUT MINI giveaway!!  A lucky winner will be drawn from the comments on both of my blogs and announced on Saturday, May 5th.  Good luck everyone and remember, you must be a follower of my blog and please limit your comments to only one per post!

Creatively yours,

Tammy Topper

Very sweet! I think Graphically Speaking is SO under-used! There are some GREAT images on that cart too!

Great Cartridge Tammy! And a lovely Layout! I recently did a Driver's License Layout of my son and did a similar thing... One side had the photo's and the other had my car cut out and signs... it turned out really cute! :o)

Great layout. another one I'm going to have to lift. I love how you did the numbers

scootingranny said...

I really like this layout and especially the one page of journaling and the big picture on the other page. Each side is it's own "boss" and doesn't distract from the other. Good idea!
