    I saw your post at Shimelle/s before this one. Love the layout as usual. I know I keep saying it---I'm going to get out those mists and actually use them. Soon, really this time!

    Great post - I really like the idea of using mists in a way that can't mess up the page . . . or make too much mess! :)

    I have lots of mists gathering dust in a cupboard, must get them out and have a go, like the idea of not too much mess!

    Great post, and inspired use of the mists! Like you, I use them sparingly, if at all, but you've given me an idea or two which you may see pop up on my blog.

    How exciting to be a guest on Shimelle's blog - but truly deserved. Loved reading your post over there and seeing how you used the mists to create your own letters - a great idea x

    Back after half term...have some time to visit you and comment! Great idea for personalizing alphas in this way! I think it'd be a great technique for a Halloween page! Thanks Sian!!

    I saw this page on Shimelle's blog - came here to say it's a brilliant idea! And it makes getting matching title so much easier.
