Notes for Photoshop Elements 14
This is the second spread in a new album documenting my daughter's recent trip to the Philippines. (Throughout this project I am leaving out the journaling, as I am using her private text messages to me.) The template worked well for my photos except that I was in the awkward position of having more photos than would fit on the templates but not enough photos for a new page on the topic. So I took the Cowgirl approach, roping in frames from another of the templates in the set, and even squeezing the final photo into a Mod Grunge Fotoblendz down the center. I am trying to keep this album fairly simple for the sake of speed so to finish up I used the same plain white paper from Destiny as before, recolored the stains and artstrokes (which are fabulously juicy throughout this album), and stamped the Oasis brushes. I also moved the little "Magic" from the lower left corner to the right upper for an easy title.
