Process
A double 12x24 page was created in PhotoShop. Artsy papers from APP Kinsfolk were used as the foundation for the page. The pages were created simultaneously to help balance color and weight. The frame from APP Hinge was added. The photos of my great great grandparents are 150 years old and very yellowed and grainy. I attempted to color correct them using a variety of techniques in photoshop. Frames and fotoblendz masks from FIT Pack 3C were added, the stitchez were recolored using a color overlay. The photos were added. The page was completed by adding paper textures, stitchez, brushes (rain drops and a tree), multiMedia elements and journaling.
I particularly like the left side with the cleverly designed tree trunk. on the one hand the list of parents and children with date of birth and on the back the photo/brush of a tree with the beautiful bouquet of flowers as a complement. perfectly chosen elements (e.g. the picture frame for the parents' photos). A brilliant example of how "dry" facts can be artistically realised.
