My son, Jason, with my two granddaughters. This is for PattyB's fabulous VSBN challenge to create a word cloud and use it on our page. I'm more familiar with Wordle, so I created my cloud using that website. I love Word Clouds!

Oh my goodness! This is an awesome page! I like your word cloud! The colors are great and that round photo just tops the page off! ( well, its at the bottom, but you know what I mean! )

really great word cloud. A great way to showcase 7 pictures on one page -- looks perfect.

I love your page. I am fairly new to scrapbooking and went to the worldle website as I had never heard of word clouds before. I made a word cloud but it is printing on the entire page. can you tell me how you were able to make the font smaller??? Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks ndstamper! Welcome to SCS!! I'm responding to your question about Wordle. (I also sent you a PM with this info.)
There are several ways to do this, but this is what I did:
My page was a digital page. After I had my Wordle arrangement created, I hit the Print Scrn key on my keyboard (above number pad), opened a document in my word processing program (MS Word) and hit Paste. Then I resized it by clicking & dragging from one of the corners, dragging in or out to make it the size I wanted. I then copied and pasted it into my digital page.
The procedure is the same for a paper page, but for the last step, instead of copy/pasting to my digital page, you would print it out through your word processing program.
There were also some other methods described in the VSBN forum where using a word cloud was the challenge here:

Great page. Love that the papers and stripes all match the word cloud colors. And I love the effect of the bevels in the title and your pics. I've got to remember that. Gives the pics the look of a brad almost. And congrats on being a "top food critic!"

What a beautiful page your kids will treasure forever! I love the little froggies and the way the very thin border around each pic makes them just pop off the page!
