Process: After placing solid paper_1 I positioned transfer_7 and blended the old Instamatic photo of my dad and my son, to which I had added some distressing, into the right edge of the transfer. I duplicated the photo and changed the blend mode to soft light. Above transfer_7 I placed transfer_3 and below I placed transfer_5 blending them together using layer masks. I positioned the psd copy of the multimedia tree and reduced its size. The journaling is just above the white paint and the word labels just below the tree shadow. I then adapted Anns watercolor tutorial for the photo with the gift bag and blended it into the background. Just above the paper, I placed the artstrokes as well as edge overlay_2. I recolored the overlay 50% gray, changed the blend mode to linear light and set the opacity 60%. I created a title and subtitles for each paragraph story.
What a great page, a super blending and texture, I love the picture and the journaling.
 
Great page. Wonderful journaling. We always got oranges and unshelled nuts in our stockings and thought it was amazing.
 
Fabulous page, beautiful design, love the titles with a short story underneath it. Also beautiful photo treatment. You are quite into the watercoloring style lately I see :eek:) Great photo of you father, you can see how much he enjoys it.
 
i really enjoy the thoughtfulness of your pages. this is a beautiful design.
