Renaissance Faire

This weekend I've been working on some design projects for Scrap Pile, mostly playing around with the Graphic 45 'Renaissance Faire' Collection.  This is a series of layouts from photographs I took at the The Abbey Medieval Festival in 2007:

The first one (which is actually the last layout I finished yesterday) is based on Kristy's sketch at Design Dollies:



And the others are all very simple but technique-based:







I also got an idea to create (gasp!) a double layout:



= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Intermission

I finally worked out how to activate the 'click-to-enlarge' feature - I researched and found out what I was doing wrong all this time! It had nothing to do with the url or html, and everything to do with the size of my original uploaded image. So anyway, you can click on the double layout to see the detail.

I haven't done it with all of my images yet, because it means uploading larger images into Photobucket, but maybe for future uploads I'll do all of them like that.

Question for the techies - how do I code it to open up in a floating pop up?? Can anyone direct me to an easy tutorial?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Back to the creative stuff...

I still have some papers and lots of photographs left over for another day, but by yesterday afternoon I needed a change of theme. So, I did a layout that wasn't medieval, but still used the same paper collection:



On top of all that creating, I also wrote up a product review, which you can find over at Scrap Pile --> HERE.
