8 x 8 mini circle album

Thanks to one of the most talented ladies I know... Casey who is an accomplished and published artist, she informed me about the Prima Hybrid contest. Well and encouraged me to enter. So, I put together this 8 x 8 mini circle album from Rusty Pickle that has been laying in my supplies for a very long time.

First step was to create a template on my computer page that would be easily cut out in to the 8 x 8 circle. Then I played with tht digital elements from Katie and Designer Digitals

Next, I enlarged the photos to fit the same 8 x8 circle and added text that would wrap around the circle. I love how this came out.

After printing the final versions (more times than one), I cut the circles out and added some tradtional element.

I mainly used Hambly papers, well because I love their sharp colors and well to get me outside my box of patterened paper always having to match. Then I added the colorful ric rak on each page.

The most difficult part was the actual digital elements, after they were printed this project took less than one hour to complete.
VIVA PRIMA!
