Process: Ive changed my mind at least three time trying to get the two pages to work together; there are three distinct versions sitting on my hard drive. With that said, for this particular version, I dragged all the layers of FotoInspired Template 41 to a new blank layer and rearranged the space to accommodate my photos, enlarging the bottom left frame and mask and flipping the placement of the photos on the top. I placed solid paper_1. The large photo at the bottom is a merge of three different photos as well as AT Canyon_2 I added layer masks, blended and moved layers as needed. I created the composite while working on layout version 2. To four other masks, I clipped a photo. Below the word see I used transfer_1 and layers from AT Canyon_2 again. I adjusted the size of all the layers and the color of a couple layers using RadLab, a plug-in Ive had quite a while but only learned last month that it works on other things besides photos I stamped brush_6 from Roughly Edged ToolSet No. 1 in white to define the space more and to balance the large photo at the bottom. I placed overlay_3 on the left below the frame. Below the masks, I also placed four layers from ALT 192 as well as FotoInspired EdgeTemplate No.6_4. I recolored the pieces and clipped a gradient to two of the layers. I added the wood words to coordinate with the opposing page. Then I used layer masks to hang the string and the charm. Finally, I finished my journaling. Im going to show my grandson all three versions, but I really think hell like this one best.
