A page in anticipation of my daughter's birthday, with my thoughts about the growing process.

Paper Textures 1: (retired)
Process:
I extracted three photos of my daughter and made one of them look like she was conducting an orchestra by placing in her hand an extraction of a free-use conductor's baton that I found on the internet. I arranged all of that to the side of my layout, creating a sticker from one of the photos in the process. Then I added all the Artsy Transfers to create the backgroundboth as delivered in the layer stack and disassembled and placed independently where needed for color, texture, or graphic punch. I embellished the background with paper textures and the sheet music, then added the title, journaling, and the little airplane charm to support my text references. I finished up with a gray gradient fill layer set to soft light at reduced opacity, just to put a little more emphasis on the baton, title, and charm.
