Journaling: After not baking for years, I had a craving for this family favorite. Since the middle of March, Ive baked this cake three times, and three times I ate the whole thing. I love it best with lemon icing over the top and sides. I want to bake it again, but Im going to resist, my waistline will thank me for it.

Notes: Using solid paper 2 as the foundation in the FotoInspired template page, I selected all the layers and reduced the size of the masks and deleted the layers I didnt need. Just above the foundation layer and below the masks, I brought in the psd watercolor mask and clipped the photo to the layers I wanted to use and deleted the rest. This blended the icing into the background. I duplicated each photo and put them on Screen blend mode. I grouped the layers. I clipped the rest of the photos to their respective masks and also duplicated each photo and put those on Screen blend mode. I wanted the page to look like great food shots instead of photos taken in bad lighting. ;-) I used the background paper for the foundation of the ingredients list. Over this layer I placed stains, splatters, brush from the kit and a transfer at a reduced size. I also placed a tape at the top of the mask segment overlapping the photo above it. Another tape was used at the top right photo.
I worked on the title next and also grouped it and placed the crown element at the top. I added the recipe and journaling. Transfer, overlays and art strokes were added.
Adding the dimensional elements, then over the stars I added splatters on clipped layers. Using the line tool nested in with the Shape Tools, I drew a couple of thin lines to border the top and right side of the photos. That finished the page.
