2011 01 Cross Country Skiing Banner

The font for Have Fun, Be Good is Georgia, matching the color of the snow (R=218,G=231,B=244), with a drop shadow (opacity=65%, x=1 y=1). The other font is Trebuchet (color the same). I only added one element:  the word "reach".  I'm pretty sure it came from Two Peas in a Bucket, but I can't seem to find it there anymore.  It was part of a Free kit entitled "Pink October" that was part of a Breast Cancer awareness campaign.  If anyone has the link for it, let me know.  Anyway, I just thought "reach" was good for beginning a new year - resolutions and all that. :)  Oh, that's Jeff, Mat, and Kathryn--having a good time!  :)
