Challenge yourself -circles

 I've been trying to use up alphas, so on this layout I started with 2 semi circles using alphas.

Next, I stamped and misted over the top. 


This created a mixed media background for my photos which are more of my wedding proofs.

I placed the proofs withing the circle and added the date of our wedding.

In the top corner I added a hot air balloon cut from an old picture dictionary. It has another circle as the balloon. I hand cut out clouds and added a blue border strip under the photos. It also has smaller circles as part of its design. The orange strip at the top similarly, has a circular design.
