New scrapbooking pages

This is a page I made to showcase Alaina's article that was in the Times News. The best thing about this page is that it was really cheap to make! I got a pack of 8 pieces of paper for $1 at Dollar Tree and I cut 2 in half and spliced together. The round, metallic circles going down the left side were also $1, in a pack of 12. I used scraps of paper and my stamp set to make the rest.
This is a page I made for Dave. I like it because it's simple, yet "geometrically complex." You can't see the shapes behind the photo too well, but I angled a diamond behind the square, and then another square behind that. I didn't worry about cutting any of the white word squares even, tho.
I really like this page. I used 5 different shades and patterned green papers, most of them handmade papers which were ripped for effect. The grass and butterflies are stickers, as well as the yellow flowers at the top (which are cheap stickers from Wal-Mart). I used some digital scrapbooking techniques--printing out text onto 12 X 12 patterend paper, which I cut down to fit into my printer.
This is a really cute page. It's a teddy bear theme. It's hard to see in the photo, but I used 2 different papers, tearing the red half and pasting over the white side. I searched online for a poem about teddy bears and I found this cute one, entitled "If Teddy Bears Ruled the World" which I think really sets off the page. Well, I'm not thrilled with the placement, but the page needed some sort of words or sayings on it to complete it.
