but this one's all on me

yep. i made another digital "top 100" for the same challenge at digichick. see, when i was making the original page, i noticed that i had at least 15 or 20 new york things: museums, restaurants, etc; and it occurred to me that i could probably fill an entire list with just new york things and free up some space! for this one, i got a bit artsy with the design: including photos, and frames, and what-not; so again, i had spent most of an afternoon by the time i finished. but holy moly did i have fun! which is about all you can ask from a sunday, really, isn't it?

oh yeah, i almost forgot, i used a sketch. it was diana's from sketchy thursdays a couple of weeks ago. i liked it very much, so even though i couldn't quiiiiiite see how to make a card out of it at the time, i saved it anyway. when i started working on this, i realized it'd be great incorporate some pictures, and that this sketch would be *ideal*. (which it was!)

(~digital materials~ papers: "urban energy", gretchen thomas & notebook paper pack, katie pertiet, both designer digitals; "bennett's hammock kit", roben-marie smith, digichick; "back 2 school", shannon freeman, free pea kit; frames: notebook edges #2 & classic curled photos, both katie pertiet, designer digitals; stars: "peace & quiet kit", gypsy couture, digichick; brads: "bennett's hammock kit", roben-marie smith, digichick; tag: "my drama queen kit", vinnie pearce, pixel canvas; apple clipart & nyc photos & all fonts (chonker, brando, susie's hand & misproject)downloaded from the internet; software: broderbund printshop & adobe PSE5)

and now i think the next thing i make needs to be something quite messy, with real paper, and loads of ink, and quite a bit of bling!!! :)
