Hehe. I love the concept, and if I'm ever not dying of cancer, feel free to infect me with the bird flu. ;) I love the lo, but I'm not too crazy about the posterization on the photos. I could see one or two photos that way, but not the whole page. Maybe try some lighting techniques? PSE 2.0 does some interesting things - not too sure about more recent products.
I think the title is fantastic! When bad things happen in life, you have 2 choices...beat it or let it beat you. Humor is a huge factor in not letting things get the best of you.
Teh reason the journaling isnt on the page is that my scrapbook pages actualy go inside my journal (a printout of my blog, actualy), so journaling would be redundant with the page its opposite to.
love the layout!!! I just want to say that he reminds me of the people that i take care of at the hospital. Im a nurse and i work in the Oncology unit. I used to work at Sherman Hospital in Elgin,IL then I moved here in California this June. I love working in the Cancer unit because i get to know my patients. Elliot is very lucky that his cancer was caught right away!! Good Luck and I hope he'll feel better soon!!!
I was sitting there, scratching my head when I first saw this, but your journaling explains it all. What wonderful friends your Elliot has, and what a positive spirit everyone has. I'm glad he's going to be ok, but I'm glad you made this, so in the years to come, you will remember this.
Alright, This one needs some explaining. My very very good freind elliot is currently in the hospital with leukemia. This was a pretty big shock to all of us, since hes 23 years old.
Now, hes fully expected to make a full recovery. They caught it realy early, and the doctors agreed that he was the healthiest leukemia petient any of them had ever seen. Bizzarly, if not for the cancer, he was in perfect, flawless health. They hope he'll be back to work this winter, and he'll be home from the hospital (hopefully) in one to 5 weeks from now.
This page is of a day his fiance and I went to the mall, and got him toys, since his main complaint is that hes painfully bored. He got a stuffed big snake, a shark toy that bites, a purple monkey, and another, smaller stuffed monkey that screetches when you throw it. We figure hes sure to get prompt attention from the nurses with these.
No, actualy hes much too nice a guy to do that, but he did start useing the shark toy to grab things he cant reach.
My goals with this layout were to convey the uncertainty and the edge of this encounter, be respectful, and commemorate the incredible strength hes shown through this whole ordeal.
Oh! the quote on top! that may require explaining! Given how well elliot handeled all this, and his complaints were pretty much all of boredom, one of our freinds made him a...relevant card. On the outside it read "Were sorry your cancer is boreing" and on the inside "so, to liven things up, we've infected this card with the bird flu!" with a little cartoon birdie smileing at him and giving him the thumbs up. He loves that card, and points it out to everybody who visits him.
