St George's Day Album

















Kit used: "Liberty" by Michelle Coleman (July kit from Scrappers' Guide)
Fonts: Eras medium + Lucida
Album completed: 04.07.2009
St George's Day is the English equivalent to the 4th of July, so although much less elaborately celebrated, it seemed the best choice for this somewhat patriotic kit. It's a good thing the Union Jack has the same colours as the Stars+Stripes...
All pages are based on the quickpage album that came with the kit, and for 2-page layouts I have added the full layout as well as the single pages for more detail...

Homo Meerkats

Kit used: PYP June by Laitha
Font: Beyond Wonderland
Layout completed: 30.06.2009
A layout completed for a forum challenge - the kit came in greyscale and you had to change everything to colours to suit your chosen photo.
The photo is from the Churches, Crypts and Clerics walk of the London Goth Meetup Group in March 2009 and came to me from one of the other walkers, done up in sepia as it is here. It shows me sitting next to my friend Eve but it was the funny posture, all four of us sitting in the same way and looking at the same thing, that inspired the title...
