I've always loved the photos where the photographer is in the picture holding their prize possession and this challenge brought me to making one of my own.

I created this layout with the inspiration from the Designer Spotlight Challenge featuring Sue.Falstaff.

Credits:
*I used the screen blending mode with Taylor Made's gray paper form her Alternative Paper Pack on the photo
*I also used one of Paislee Press Vignette overlays but placed it between the photo and the paper and then lowered the opacity a touch just to darken the edges a hair.
*The fading text on the left and title I did on my own

Thanks for such a great challenge and thanks for looking!!
