My newest project


I'm helping Mandy make a wedding announcement for her sister. Fun. There will probably be a picture in at some point, but for right now, this looked the best. It has a little bit more white space between the swirl and the text then it probably should, but I still think it looks good. The swirl we got from Sharon's digiscrap CD and it saved the day. I was trying to do swirls with brushes and I couldn't get them to work. I liked the Photoshop brushes better, but they were being funny and didn't have good color and were pixelated. Then we tried Illustrator brushes and they were very clean, crisp lines and really good color and I could change the color, etc. They just weren't the right swirls for what we wanted. More grungy looking. So Sharon's swirl was easy to use and perfect. Yeah!!!

I'd hire you. And I don't think there is too much white space. I think it needs the breathing room. Way to go!

So is this your side job Natalie? You got a good eye. Were you two stalking Phelps? haha. So are you guys staying in Ann Arbor permanently? Caden and I would love to hang out with you and your boys. But I doubt we'll be over in the East Coast anytime soon.
