Process: I began this layout by extracting my oldest grandson and my granddaughter before resizing and placing them on a new blank document. I dragged all the layers of ALT 191 to my page and deleted the frames. I added a lightleak above a paint layer and adjusted the color with a hue and saturation adjustment layer. I then experimented with the layers, turning off some and adjusting others in order to create the background. I recolored the stains. I blended a paper from AP Home and a photo with AnnaBlendz Artsy 3 to help recreate the wood floor. I placed overlay 1 above the template layers and overlay_4 below the template layers. I added two artstrokes from AP Whimsy, a stroke from AP Go Retro as well as two brushes from the AP and placed them below my grandson and granddaughter to ground them. I also added an urban stitch and the little heart. I placed a photo of Owens sign behind him about where he'd taped it on the wall, but placed a colored sticker from the internet over the b&w one on his sign. He will like this!
