Process: I started with a template from Artsy Layered Template No 242. I placed an artsy paper from ArtPlay Palette Jollification as the background. Some of the layers on the template were modified and others covered by other elements because I thought the layout needed more light. I clipped the photos to the photo masks and used an adjustment layer for Gradient Map to make some into b/w. I added two ballons from MultiMedia Balloons No 3 and placed one on the left side and the other on the opposite side. I placed stitches from UrbanStitchez Korners No. 2 to the photos and also staples from ArtPlay Palette Magic. Then I added the wordarts from Celebrate WordART Mix No 2 and wrote month and year in the right bottom corner. I placed a number and circle from LittleNumbers No 1 to state the date. I finished the layout with embellishments, brushes (recolored) and transfers from ArtPlay Palette Jollification.
