I live in Chicago and I think it's fine! Great page. You know, I have not been to the Shedd since the fourth grade! It's supposed to be so awesome, too.
Fabulous work with the core cs - Love your title work! I forget about the below the line letters all the time too - annoying - but your Chicago looks totally fine. Love those waves too! BTW, your pics are such a familiar sight. I can't count how many times I've been to Shedd - haved lived around Chicago all my life :)
I always say, "it's attention to detail" that separates a runner up from a winner. This layout is a winner. The effort you put into that sanding and piercing took it from "nice" to "special." I know it was work. It was worth it. And I think the G looks like a G - with some springboard motivation.
(yes, I know my 'g' in "Chicago" looks like an 's' *sigh* ...I had already placed the Chica when I realized I hadn't accounted for the shape of the 'g' and I certainly wasn't going to start all over!)
I used Color Core cs for the base of this lo. I chose the black with the blue, because the pics are so dark and because it's about water...made sense to me. :)
I pierced a border around the page, piercing from the back side so that when I turned the cs over, I could light sand the pierced holes and have the blue show. I also use the Color Core for "Chicago" and for "Shedd". I cute the alphas using my Sizzlits, then sanded them carefulle. Where it I couldn't get the emery board to reach the small areas, I placed the alpha onto my cutting mat, then carefully used my craft knife to scrape away the black on the edges to reveal the blue.
