I do my pages for my Project pretty much the same every time with a few exceptions.
- I start with the template pages in double-page format for 8 and 9.
- I pick my photos and add them to the masks using Layer>Create Clipping Mask. Then I make any adjustments that I think should be made.
- Then I add the papers over the background layer of each page.(Fotographie Solid 2 which I used AI Generative Fill and Behold Solid Paper 1) Sometimes I add papers to the frames in the background. Next, I place the transfers on the page. Fotographie -Striped Mat 1, Fotographie 12X12 Overlay Filled the mask layer with green, and Behold transfer 4 was added to the back frames.
- The elements come next. MultiMedia Arrows 1.2, Remembrance – felt camera, The Clock from Artsy Clock 4.1, and the Heart from Music Wordart 1.2.
- Brushes are sometimes added to the pages. (Snapshot 1.2)
- Next, I write and enter the journal. I have no children of my own, but I love my niece's three daughters. This double page is dedicated to them. And a reminder of the joy they bring into my life. I wanted to give them adventures that maybe they wouldn't have had otherwise. I think I was successful there. And their joy was joy for me. I love that they do some of the same things still. When we took a ride up Mt. Agamenticus there was a horse riding place. They only went around in a circle but they seemed to love that. Though the big horses were a bit scary I think. It wasn't planned it was just taking advantage of an opportunity. Nina was older so she didn't come along as often. So a couple of times I made plans with just her. Once we took a boat ride to have lunch on Bailey's Island and another time we did an overnight on Long Island. She brought a friend and I rented them bicycles to ride around the island. With the two younger girls, I had to try to keep up with the changing ages. So playgrounds and animal farms at first. The boat rides and hotel overnights. I even took them separately once on a weekend overnight at a hotel and tried to plan the weekend around their individual likes. So a boat ride for one and a fancy restaurant. For the other a meal in an old fashed drive-up restaurant and time in a park. I loved being with each one separately.
- The last to go on the page is the title. I use either a word cluster or create one. (On page 8 I added a word strip I created with Wordart from Eunonia Wordart cluster 1.4 and on Page 9 I altered Holiday Wordart mix 2.3)
- When it is all put together I go to my checklist.
