The Process
I began with Beach Album Template 1A_5. Two solid papers from AP Summery were layered for the background. A gradient was used to fade out the bottom paper so that the two papers blended together. The photos were clipped to the masks. Next I turned off all the layers, except the background paper and photos. I turned them back on one by one, adjusting size, position and adding color. If a layer didnt work, I kept it hiddened. A multimedia Sun was added, with the raffia and clouds from the others. Transfers from AP et Voila and AP Summery were layered behind the photos. The sand layer was duplicated with the blending mode changed to multiply to darken it. Buttons, threads, sailboat and a paper word art were added to complete the page.
Thanks for looking.
