I got lucky with this page in two big respects: (1) I found a picture with a flag where Shae was looking directly into the camera, and (2) I was able to find exactly what I wanted for backgrounds, etc. I started scrapbooking around this time last year, and when I started, I wasn't entirely clear on the whole concept of "kits" and so stuff that I downloaded got split up and categorized and moved around, and it was surprisingly easy for me to find the stuff I acquired back in the beginning. The hardest part about putting this calendar page together was building the firework, which is made up of four different (similar) elements, which were conveniently all located in the same folder. Yes, the wording on this page is from the same source kit as the wording for the July page from the 2010 Cupcake Calendar -- I guess the takeaway from that is that Scrabble tiles make excellent "All-American" word art.
Anyway ... Happy 4th.
somehow i missed this from the original post. very cool.
