Somehow I thought if I got a dramatically different kit my page would turn out similarly different... but I guess we just can't escape who we are... Ha ha.... So, I'll keep trying, but in the meantime this artsy layout is one more page for the 2008 album I'm hoping to complete one day.
I had a lot of fun blending several transfers in the the background and creating a quasi-border with the dangly bits, and I also used a couple of transfers to liven-up the bleak background (and the facade) with 'glimpses of days long gone' though I'm on the fence about those and might change them later. Thank you for looking.
