I will always have a cross to bear...
When I first purchased A.net, I wanted to use the site's namesake as the cover girl. I didn't have a lot of images of her at the time so I wanted to use what I did have sparingly. Even today, I think this is a great layout.

This is heaven to no one else but me
This was one of the first layouts I used a lot of brushes on. This was mostly to hide the big crease in this picture. There is a bittersweet passion to this image that I adore. Overall, this layout turned out very nice.

Independence day
WEE! It's a holiday layout! I liked this layout, but I am not a big fan of the navigation. I would do something better if I were to redo it. I used some of the different shapes in my shape tool in PSP and I liked the effect. It was very patriotic.

Sweets for the Sweet
Hm. I don't like this layout in all honesty. It was a dedication layout, so that is really embarrassing... I'm sorry I've fallen out of touch with this person, but what can you do? I don't like the colors or the brushes. Yuck.

To You, Everything I Bestow
I must honestly say that I love this layout. I went a bit far with the brushes, but I can't find anything I don't like about it. I prefer to use blue in my layouts, even though there was a red trend in my blog layouts.

Depression
This layout was done around the time my Dad got fired from his job and I quit mine because it was making me depressed. I wasn't in a good place at that point and the melancholy shows up in this piece. It is still pretty good though.
