My first 8½x11 Layout!

Here is my first foray into 8½x11 Scrappin'!  It was a bit strange at first, but I have to admit, I really enjoyed working with a smaller surface area...  I thought it would be difficult to establish a bit of negative space, but I think I did ok!

Lots of Whimsy buttons on this one, those brick textured buttons are my fav...I need to make more in a rainbow of colors!
Thanks for stopping by!
