Gagging On Pink Sparkles

I am just going to ignore that I haven't posted anything on here since January and move on to art stuff.

Another year has come and with that so has JAFAX. Last year was the first year I was asked to create their program. Well not so much as asked as Liz starting petting me and it creeps me out so much I just end up agreeing to anything. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I think I might have gotten a combined solid 5-6 hours of sleep over a weeks period. Even though it was taxing it was a lot of fun, stressful but fun.

This year I was able to do it again and there was still the stress and the going to bed at 3am thing but even though I grumbled and at one point cried because I thought I lost an entire page of layouts I must say I don't hate what I made. Understand though that there are things that could have been done better and laid out with more thought but when you are scrambling in the wee hours of the morning you tend to let a lot of stuff go so you might get some sleep before work the next morning.

This year JAFAX turned 16 so the theme was of course sweet 16. Now I am not one to do cute well. I understand how to do it but sometimes it just turns out as a study on how to gag on the pink sparkles. I was surprised though that I did make it work and it didn't turn anyone's stomach, especially mine. There are of course many things I would change and many things that should have been aligned better and were not but in the grand scheme of things it did turn out better then I expected. I won't go as far as to say I'm proud of it because I always find that hard to say about my own work but I will say I can live with it and not take a pen to the program as I did last year to correct my mistakes.

So here it is as it was laid out for the printers. I could spend the time reorganizing it so it can be seen as it will be in the program but I haven't had much sleep this week and if I look at the layout for to long I start to twitch a little. But you will get the idea as the pages are all numbered.
