Michelle's Embellishments

Thena's Thoughts

What is as Lovely as Spring

What is as gentle and lovely
As a day in Spring?
You are gentler and lovelier
And flowers you bring!
 
I love the feeling
Of being outdoors
And I love watching sunbeams
Dancing on floors.
 
I love Winter and Summer
And I don't mind Fall
But of all of the seasons
I love Spring best of all!
 
Thena Smith

Introducing Our New Column:

Each month a design team member will create a layout from a sketch that is provided. Sharon starts us out with her "Grand Adventure" layout.  Sharon saves sketches as JPEG files and opens them in Digital Image Pro.  She then uses them to build her layout beneath by increasing the transparency (reducing opacity) so she can see through the sketch.  When complete, she simply deletes the sketch layer!

This month's sketch was provided by Thena Smith.  Click on either image below to see the enlarged versions.
