These two papers seemed to be the "odd one outs" and took on a life of their own.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Lots of trial and error later, I had put together the other elements.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you have seen me use these colours before, it is because I find that they suit many of my old photos, both sepia and black and white. Of course you may find they look better recoloured for your project.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The two pages will also form a conntinuous image when placed side by side, a look I rather like in my album.</span></div><div align="center"> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264203648863798322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 249px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AOaTGbHxkIk/SQ41U-PXhDI/AAAAAAAAA_U/fLjfw-EuckU/s400/detail.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Free ZIP to download </span><a href="http://www.sharecg.com/get_file.php?upload_file_id=19284"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">HERE</span></a></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></div>Judynoreply@blogger.com8
