Pure Determination...Yep, that's him.

I've done a few more layouts lately, and I'm getting in a rut. I like the simpler styles, but sometimes that means repeating what I've already done. and again. I need to look for new ideas. Anyway, here are a few...

this was the first time I got crazy with a picture, although you can't really tell from the photo. I bent it up and scratched it on the edges and then inked it. I just wanted to. I also inked the edges of the letters and cardstock with the same mocha color. It was fun.

do you see my rut? horizontal strips across the bottom, top, or middle. That's all. Ugh. I guess I'm a plain jane.
