Inspired by Anna's story/layout Anna's and this grandma wanted to share these old photos and their story with her grandchildren as we approach Halloween.

Process: 1. Open Artsy Template No. 165 and drag all the layers onto a new blank file, turning off all but the frames. Adjust and rotate the frames as needed, substituting a frame from FotoWallets. Clip photos to masks. (I changed all the photos, yellowed and multicolored, to black and white and used a glow from the ArtPlay Tinge Elements to give them a tint, making them appear older and blending with them background better.) Add solid paper 3. 2. Place transfers 5 and 7 below the frames, using a brush on a layer mask to blend and reduce the opacity to 75%. 3. Turn on splatters, stains and artstrokes, recoloring and adjusting the blend mode as needed. 4. Add journaling, title, element and staples. Add a color fill adjustment layer to the element and change the blend mode to multiply.
