Week 1 - Our theme for the month is Summer...and this week I want you to focus on this prompt:
an excerpt from "In Summer Time" by Paul Laurence Dunbar
Just for the joy of being there
And drinking in the summer air,
The summer sounds, and summer sights,
That set a restless mind to rights
Here is my layout for the challenge. For some reason, these summer images brought me back to 2009 and a beach concert my husband played at.
My notes are in the gallery description of how I blended and made this page.

What images come to your mind? What sounds? What occasions do you think of? What do you feel inside?
This mood board is what came to mind for myself...you can be inspired by its colors, its photos, its feelings, or nothing at all!Here is my layout for the challenge. For some reason, these summer images brought me back to 2009 and a beach concert my husband played at.
Summer Beach Concert
Most of my technique for this is using masks with the photos and using the "blend if" technique...
