Process: I placed all the template layers on a new blank document and resized them. Then I clipped my photos to the masks, editing as needed. I placed the layers of AT Hummingbird_1 on mask_6 below the journaling and clipped a photo to the white paint. I resized the layers. I added a bit of color to the background with transfers, stains and splatters as well as the word art, watering can (recolored) and a bow (recolored).
these two pages are just gorgeous! I love your garden! harsh winters and hot summers make gardening hard in the midwest but you have done an a beautiful job! I am totally impressed!
