Sharing a layout - "So Sweet Grads"

Today, I'm sharing a layout I made this past weekend about some of my favorite graduates last school year. It came together pretty quickly, probably because I used some new paper and embellishments. For whatever reason, new product always seems to be a little easier to work with for me. :)

Here's a view of the left hand side of the page.

Here's a view of the right hand side of the page, and I think you can read the journaling in this pic too.

 A closer look at the title block for those of you who like detail shots.

I made little flags out of the patterned paper and layered them next to the journaling for a more cohesive look.

Along the left side of the layout, I stapled some strips of paper with words on them and embellished a big with chipboard hearts.

And here's one final look at the finished layout...

Sorry that some of the colors were "off" in these pics. I can't figure out why some saved correctly and others saved too warm or yellow. I'm still figuring out my new laptop I guess.
