Photoshop Elements 14

Another page for my grandson's baby book. The pictures are less than fascinating yet the documentation is important. I find creating these types of pages frustrating and satisfying in equal parts, and a lot of it is coming to terms with just working with what I have and making the best of it, knowing the parents will be grateful for whatever I do. This is when good enough takes on special relevance to my scrapbooking endeavors.

For this layout, I added another frame to the template by duplicating an existing frame, then clipped in my photos, adding the Abstract Fotoblendz over the central paint layer. The background is Artsy Paper 3 over which I placed a page Fotoblendz, clipping the striped paper from the Artplay Palette to it. A slew of transfers and overlays enriched the background, and then I did the little cluster (recoloring the bee element) and placed the wordART and some random artstrokes to finish up, adding a bit of the Multimedia Balloon as a final touch and a layer of blue Artsy Paint on top of the layer stack.
