Awesome tutorial, Nicole! Thanks for sharing.

I have a LO that has been on and off the front burner for months, and this might be just the kick in the butt I need to get it working!

That is amazing! I love what you did with that photo! I will have to try it with one. Is there any way to add a side-by-side before and after so we can see the changes without scrolling?

I tried it on my self-portrait for today. This was a lot of fun!

Here is my first dramatic layout. I scraplifted Nicole's page after using her tutorial. It's my new favorite thing to do to photos. I think I'll be back later with more dramatic layouts too!

I think I got lost somewhere around the middle of the tutorial, so I ended up playing around with the layers until I got a look I liked. :lol: You have to admit, the final effect is pretty dramatic! :D

I love your photo and your layout, Nicole. I tried the tut on a pic of my DD, and it just didn't look right. What should I do when something like that happens? Try a different pic? Change the settings? If so, how? I am so confused.
