St. Nicholas is the church that was about a half a block up the street from our house in England. Super tiny, first built in the 7th century (yes, 7th, not 17th), with a collapsed bell tower on one side and a graveyard surrounding it. Hubs thinks I'm weird for wandering around graveyards, but I don't know, I think they're peaceful. And I love looking at all the old names.
There's my usual mixed-font title, using the Spencerian Alphabet for the name of the church and the Rough Edges alphabet for the village name.
I had quite a time trying to figure out photo placement for this layout, so this was another option I considered before I changed my mind.
My color palette: Perfect Plum, Cajun Craze, Garden Green, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla. I must thank my Color Coach for this palette; I knew I wanted to use Cajun Craze but I was having trouble figuring out what to pair it with. The Color Coach gave me Perfect Plum and Always Artichoke, but I swapped out the Artichoke for Garden Green because it went with the pictures better. That Perfect Plum turned out to be just what I was looking for to do the page base. Wish they hadn't retired the Color Coach.
Cheers, peeps! Tomorrow is Nacho Day, and then it's time for the annual showcase.
