Project-elements coming together

I was not going to post today, but I have been up and working since 3AM and the elements are starting to come together, there of course will be more pages, that will just be a matter of resizing and cutting (the hard part is done), on the right and left side are pages that will be flying with no words, I hope you can see, you might need to click on the picture and it will take you to a larger size, there are 2 stacks of books and in the middle is a standing open book, all of these will be cut multiple times to give them dimension, there is a bookmark inside the standing book.  The map of Pakistan that I initially had thought would be part of the border just did not work, so I have revised and added a tag of Asia from 7 gypsies. The markhor is sitting on the stack at the right, behind the stack on the left is a circle with the flag of Pakistan and behind that is a tag of Asia.  All of the ribbon will not be included on the left side, it is just for my reference.  The Khabuli is situated on an angle between the standing book and stacked books on the left.  Pretty scary huh?  Looking at a design without the color and elements all prettied up, but I promised to document from start to finish, there is always a scary phase to any project, big or small, lol.

Here is a tip for those of you who do design cards and projects, I use my computer and camera a lot to give me feedback, a picture will show you immediately where your glaring mistakes of misproportions are.  Even though the elements are in and appear to be pleasing, I will leave this and walk back and forth throughout the day tweeking and rearranging, lol. However, I think now, that it is basically as it will be.  Now on to the final color choices for the elements and then I will begin with the color for the pages. Well  I am back to work, hope everyone is enjoying their first day of the weekend.  Hugs
