Try a Digital Layout Before You Cut

[papasue]

I seem to come to things backward. I cut something, then I try to use it. I waste a lot of paper. Using the digital layout approach I can see where I'm going, I know which elements to cut, in what colors and where and how I'm going to use them.

Here's my first Digital Layout and I'm hooked. I'm entering it in a "challenge" on extracting an element from a photo and using it in a layout.

You can read about how I got here and about the challenge on my Blog. Now don't expect a tutorial ala Susan Bluerobot, I'm not in her league at all. I talk about the experience of discovering new ways to approach things. I also tell you what elements I used and where to get them.

What font did you use for the From photo to bag tag.. Will cut out in SCAL. I wanted to find a font that is holey.. like the some of the letters you used. Thanks That is a great layout..

The font for the layout is a free download called No Mystery from Abstractfonts http://www.abstractfonts.com/font/11087

Haven't tried to cut it, been using it for printing.

Thanks for looking.
