Gradnation
Among my 18 unfinished layouts was a page about Trevor's preschool graduation. It was basically done except for the title. I had some pale lavender stickers that were the perfect size and font, but the color was completely wrong for the page. So I painted them.
When I lifted them off the sticker paper, the paint trails between letters stuck! It was pretty cool, but not for this layout. So I gave them a quick trim.
I adhered the letters to the page and was getting ready to scan it when I noticed that the title did not say 'graduation' as I'd planned, but instead said 'gradnation.' Phooey. I put the u on upside down. I managed to fix it without damage, thank goodness.
