August 16th: The Day of High Voltage

So I have been spending some time reading a book I have called "The Secret Language of Birthday's". I got it years ago at Costco when I first moved out with my best friend Amy and we were looking for fun stuff to place on the coffee table. I have always found it to be relatively close to the actual personalities I see in myself and my loved ones and every now and then I like to go back and remind myself of the qualities and especially the areas of growth I have. I know that each time I have done this I have thought about scrapping my actual reading but have never actually taken the time to start and finish a layout, until now. I had a very specific idea in mind for this layout and I knew I wanted it to be very astral. I wanted to include planets and stars and the zodiac hidden amongst those stars. The trouble was that I was sure how to accomplish this best.  I finally decided to sit down and finish a layout utilizing the information provided to me in my book. I am actually very proud of the results and it also forced me to complete my first two page layout as well.

Below is the layout: (Click to view larger)

And here it is all separated for easier perusing and reading.

 I am really really happy with how the layout turned out. I cannot take credit for the images and such as they are various items I found spread across the internet, therefore I of course could never attempt to publish it or any such thing it is simply for my own enjoyment. I found the images and extracted them all myself and used images I found online to create the multiple layers of backgrounds etc. I could not be happier.
