As for getting the font, http://www.printerideas.com/fontfairy/webfonts.html is a pretty good directory of free font sites on the web.  one is bound to have something similar.  the one you chose kinda looks like the font for brother bear (the movie) i'm sure that would be on the web somewhere.

christmas vacation - descendents (although it isn't really about christmas - meh).

  Wow.  You guys that post art here are awesome.  Anyway, this is my first time posting art or any pictures of any work I've done.  It's a postcard made of a bitmap image and vector graphics.  I traced the vectors myself.  This was my first attempt at vectors and my first time using Fireworks.  The quote is an excerpt from D.H. Lawrence's 'Under the Oak'.

Comments and/or criticism is welcome.

Hope this works...



Thanks,

I usually make or bake giftsfor friends at Christmas as buying them all is so expensive and I don't have a job.  Anyway...

Does anyone have any ideas for gifts for Christmas in Australia.  I want to make them both Christmas-y and Summer-y.  I was thinking of perhaps making some journals.  I would love to do beach bags with Christmas treats inside them but our sewing machine is broken (and has been for ages) and I can't see a new one on the horizon for a long time.

Also, I have to make a gift for me and my sisters Japanese buddy.  We wanted it to be Australian-y but withoutbeing heinously tacky.  Any suggestions would be great.

I couldn't find sand paper that wasn't like gravel so I tried with an emery board.  I could get off a couple of the less obvious ones but the emery board sort of scratched to cardboard a bit, so I didn't use it for the bigger smears.  I think I'll just leave it or put a book plate on the inside cover, which is where most of the glue is.

i'll try with sandpaper. thanks!

I am really sorry to be asking this as it's prolly been asked stacks before already but...

I'm making a jorunal (my first one).  It's a pretty run of the mill type thing but I managed to smear PVA glue in a couple of spots on it so it has these kind of shiny patches.  one of them will be easy to cover up but i'm not so sure about the others.  if it was for myself i wouldn't really care but it's a gift.

also, what is the best way you guys would recommend to stick a photo onto cardboard.  would just plain glue work okay?

thanks for your help, i'll be sure to post photos of the book once it's done!!
