The grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do, something to love,
and something to hope for.

Notes: After opening a new 12x12 file, I brought in a photoblendz, resizing and clipping the photo to it. The rest of the photo masks were brought in below the photo in the layers panel and resized not worrying about proportions and arranged on the page. I clipped papers from the kit to those masks to make the background. I also placed the torn edges transfer and word art transfer under the photo in the layers panel.

I typed out the title and arranged it next to the photo, slightly overlapping and clipped a transfer to it and blended the title to Linear Burn. Adding the quote, putting each line on its own layer and point size, I squished the lines together.

I duplicated the photo and put the copy on Pin Light blend mode and added the cool glows blending to Overlay with a reduced opacity to pop the colors in the photo. The tape and stitches were added along with the splatters and stains above and below the photo.

The postmark, heart and flower was added to the right edge of the page. The postmark was smudged with the Smudge Tool. First time Ive used that tool and I like it. I think thats about it for this quote page.
