For my daughter's album, using:
**Roots Classic Collection, on sale April 20**
Artsy Layered Template #95: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/Artsy-Layered-Template-No.-95.html
Roots Artplay Palette: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/ArtPlay-Palette-Roots.html
Trees No. 1: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/Trees-No.-1.html
12x12 Page Fotoblendz No. 8: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/12-X-12-Page-FotoBlendz-No.-8.html
Also used--Urban Threadz No. 10: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/UrbanThreadz-No.-10.html
Process:
I clipped my photos to the template frames and then turned off all the template layers except the artstrokes. I added a backgroundsolid paper #3, and then stamped on two of the tree brushes.
I blocked out the color and word art next, bringing in yellow embellishments and, for the word art,
duplicating the The that came with the template and using New Facebook Regular for the font.
I turned on the layers of the template one by one, from the bottom up, clipping transfers and overlays from the artplay palette to just a few of the layers. I then added the Threadz to the button.
For the last steps, I flattened my layout and clipped it to a 12x12 Page Fotoblendz. I added the date and title and a hairline rule around the page with the line tool.
