**********************************************************************************

 

Here is my project, FIRST COMMUNION Double Page Layout.  I used Scrapbook Generation May 2013 Free Sketch.  This sketch can be found here. The sketch was really easy to follow.  I truly enjoyed doing this sketch.
 

 

A close up of my left page.  I pretty much followed the sketch except for the picture 6x4 instead of 4x6 because of the group picture.  The small three pictures varied in the sizes as well.  They were mini prints. 

 

A close up of my right page.  The journal section was good as I am not a "journal" lover but I knew that this occasion was important to be documented.  I was able to type up a simple journal and finished it with a beautiful cross brad.

 

I had this wooden cross in my stash for a long time and this occasion was a good opportunity for me to use.  There was a diecut hole in the middle of the cross.  I decided to cover the hole with the patterned paper to pop up the emphasis of the cross.

I decided to emboss (small dots) the title words for an interesting effect and to continue the round theme.  The patterned paper had many circles on them.  So were the cupcakes!  They all were round!
