I fess up (LOL) I entered. I entered with the best intentions and making the pages this year was so much fun. I did it with the help of my dear friend Queen of Paper, aka Heidi, and she helped me with the process that much more fun. I knew I wasn't going to win. And I was ok with it. I really am ok with it! I was DYING to post my pages already.. it's been hard to hold back, and so today, it was confirmation that I should post em ;)
As for being sad, honestly not at all. I feel good, I love my pages, but most of all.... my husband and son LOVE my pages, that is what it's all about ;) really, truly, making these pages for them. :)
I posted 7 of my pages in my gallery if you want to take a peek ;)
I will probably fix 1 of my pages and then post it, I want to alter a couple things, and I am not sure if I will post my crafty combo, I might just keep it to myself and display it in my new scrap room.
I have been asked how I did my technique page about circles inside circles called "Swimming Lessons" and here it is:
1. Open circular text path in Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. I used Jen Lessinger Follow the Path. Go to File, new document, dimensions 3600 by 3600 pixels, 300 dpi, RGB color. Click on the move tool. Drag the circular text onto your new document.
2. Place the circular text onto the left side of the document with only half of it showing. Click on the sides to resize shrink or enlarge your text. Click on the Horizontal Type tool and type in your first line of text. I used the font Garamond, size 40, black color. Click on the move tool again. Rotate the text in the half circle to fit from end to end on the left side.
3. Click and drag another circle path onto the document. Resize it to fit inside the other circle. Change the font once again to Garamond, size 40, black color. Type in a new line of text. Rotate as needed to fit inside the larger half circle.
4. Repeat this step until you have all of your text. Make sure that each half circle is size 40. Go under Layer and flatten your document. Print the desired size to fit the layout.
Hope you are well :)

Pam,
Once again I am shocked you didn't get a call. If anyone belongs in the HOF it's you. Just know your pages rock and so do you.
