The Process
I began with template 5 from the new Simple FotoBlendz Template Album 2 and added a white, textured background paper from AP et Voila. The smaller photos were clipped to the frame masks. The larger photo was clipped to the large fotoblendz mask and resized. The stains were colored and the textures were lightened up by reducing the opacity. A polka dot overlay was added. Using the magic wand, the black area was hightlighted and recolored. Papers from AP Bicycle and AP Girl Craze were clipped to the flags on the banner. The plastic bike and blue tape were lightened by duplicating them and changing the blending mode to screen with the opacity adjusted.

Thank you for looking!
