Simplify [enjoy simple pleasures]

(left side) Ernest Hemingway put into words what Id like to accomplish with images in this project.
My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way -EH

Process Notes: Left Side
The image is a 6x6 ArtsyKardz on Normal Blending Mode. I then duplicated the layer and applied a Multiply Blending Mode, layered with WarmGlows No.1 on Color Blending Mode for added depth.

A brush transfer from AP Embrace Life and a dots brush from Different Strokes No.8 were used to create the art stroke across the page.

The large number 1 was created from the 52 Weeks NumberSet by selecting the 1 in the button,
copying and pasting it onto its own layer, and applying Overlay Mode.

The stitching frame is from FotoInspired Template Pack No. 2A.

I created the 2013 Project 52 WordArt in a separate file using ArtsyKardz and Annas 2013 WordART and 52 Weeks NumberSet. I then flattened the file and saved it as a jpg for use on my subsequent Project 52 pages.
