I brightened things up with a color paper for all the b&w photos. Turquoise was always my Dad’s favorite color and has become mine also. Template page 6 was placed on the left side of a double layout with Solid Paper 4 placed for the foundation (w/Hue/Sat Adj. level). Photos were clipped to the fotoblendz and masks. Stains, foliage, papers etc. were recolored. Embellished with elements, glow, artsy splatters, word art (slightly modified) and journaling. I also added Bliss Frame 2 on top of one of the frames. Last I placed Bespoke Artsy Kardz, turned off all the layers, then turned on one layer at a time, placing some layers on the left side and some on the right side.

Journaling reads: The first-born child usually gets the most pictures taken, and that’s so true for Steve, born March 1956 in Tulsa. The family moved soon after to Victoria, TX. Photo to the left is Steve and cousin Judy being held by Mamaw & Papaw, and below, with Grandma Robertson. Steve is being held in a car by our great-grandmother, Mamaw’s mother.
