Process: I began by creating a new blank document and attaching my photo to Tartan FotoBlendz mask1_6. I placed solid paper_3. Then I wrote a draft of my journaling. Then I dragged all the layers of multimedia star1_4 above the photo. I revised my journaling. I turned off the outline stars and adjusted the position. I revised my journaling again. Next, I created the title using WoodWord_best (darkened a little) and two fonts in the same font family. There are two copies of the word dad; the bottom copy is on color burn blend mode which allows the background texture to show through. I edited my journaling. The texture blending below the photo is a combination of textures, stains and paint layers from the artsy transfers_1, 3, 4 and 5 which are available on Wednesday. I placed all the splatters above my photo. For information on how to use these transfers see a video

here. Finally, I reread and finalized my journaling. Are you wondering about my unusual focus on the journaling for this specific layout? As we approach Fathers Day, these two short stories remind me of so much more about my dad. Thanks for looking and reading
