Font: Capture It
Another page for my Project 2016 Alphabet Reflections--the spread features letters F and G and my Kid Crew. I followed Anna's Video Tutorial process to the letter, making adjustments to the template design structure first, to suit my photos, then added the background. I then scrolled through my previews of Artsy Transfers for some yellow, and added several from the Chatter Artsy Transfers. I recolored the stains next, adding a big blue one behind the main photo, then finished up with the Warm Glos, embellishments and journaling. Doing the numerals and titles came lastit was hard to get them right. I chose the font because it reminded me of the Jenga blocks on the table.
Details on the left: I added the photos first, then expanded the top photo out of its frame by inserting a Fotoblendz between the photo and the frame, duplicating the photo, and simply clipping it to the mask so that the photo flowed outward. Because one of the frame shapes wasn't right for my photo, I deleted it and dragged in a rectangular frame from the page 8 template and used that instead.
Details on the right: the photo didn't fit the Fotoblendz at all, but I liked the overall position, so I did a quick extraction of the photo and used the Fotoblendz as a marker to place the photo. I then tucked the frames behind the extraction (removing two), and filled them with photos. The dark background and stains helped me to disguise some of the rough extraction edges. I have all the patience in the world for blending, but zero patience for extractions. Go figure.
