Point Loma is a seaside community within San Diego that is a hilly peninsula with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean on one side, and San Diego on the other. It also houses Rosecrans Cemetery, two military bases, two light houses, and a national monument. I created this page for a co-worker of mine (trying to create a book for her).

The Process: I love starting a layout with one of Annas template. I used one of two templates in the pack, but moved things around a bit to balance out the photos on the page. I used 3 ArtsyKardz. One attached to a framed photo mask. Once attached, I added word strips along one side. The second artsyKard was used for the Page title. I added various images to the card as well as the words. The word POINT was a hollowed font. To help it stand out, I placed a layer under the text layer, and used a solid brush to paint a thin, squiggly line along the center of each letter. I then used Gaussian blur to soften it, making it a bit transparent, allowing the items underneath to show through. The third was the square 6 x 6 ArtsyKard. To this ArtsyKard I attached a photo. I wanted most of the photo to show, so I attached copies of the same photo to various layers of the 6 x 6 ArtsyKard, playing with the blend modes. Now that the photo mats were filled with either photos or ArtsyKards I placed a solid paper behind, and to it I added the ScriptTease Overlay, recoloring it to the soft yellow. I then began adding elements to the area of the template that was not filled in. I also added a few elements to the lower right of the photo in the lower right of the layout, adding a tag with the date. I used Urban Stitchez to hold down the word strips, WordArt to one of the photos, along with a Warm Glow.
