No commercial scrapping sites or acronyms. Designer and/or kit name only.): Another page featuring my newly-wedded nephew &amp; his bride. The lyrics are from a song called &quot;Love of a Lifetime&quot; by Firehouse.... I guess the time is right for us to say We'll take our time and live our lives together day by day. We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer. We know our dreams will all come true with love that we can share. With you I never wonder will you be there for me? With you I never wonder You're the right one for me. I finally found the love of a lifetime. A love to last my whole life through. I finally found the love of a lifetime. Forever in my heart I finally found the love of a lifetime. With every kiss our love is like brand new and every star up in the sky was made for me and you Still we both know that the road is long. We know that we will be together because our love is strong. I finally found the love of a lifetime... ~ Firehouse All products by Nicole Young: [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_18&amp;products_id=11181&quot;]Way Up High 2[/url] [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_18&amp;products_id=9600&quot;]Storybook Dreams[/url] [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_18&amp;products_id=9845&quot;]Storybook Dreams 2[/url] [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_23&amp;products_id=9847&quot;]Storybook Dreams Element Set[/url]<br /><br />14 comments DixieMama Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:47:42 -0500 Always http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=341262 <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=341262" target="_blank"><img title="ventersjrwed.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/518/thumbs/ventersjrwed.jpg" alt="ventersjrwed.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: DixieMama<br /><br />Description & Credits (Please give credit if you use the work of others!

I finished with this layer by reducing the opacity to about 60%. ~ with the top photo copy, I selected the face, inverted the selection, and deleted the unwanted portion of the photo. I then added a 6pt white stroke to it, and added a drop shadow.*** Credit: [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_18&amp;products_id=10902&quot;]Nature's Touch page kit - Robyn Gough[/url]<br /><br />15 comments DixieMama Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:25:50 -0400 detrd3_enjoy http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=334112 <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=334112" target="_blank"><img title="detrd3_enjoy.jpg" border="0" src="http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/5676/thumbs/detrd3_enjoy.jpg" alt="detrd3_enjoy.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: DixieMama<br /><br />Description & Credits (Please give credit if you use the work of others!

Sadly, I could not work in that wonderful Alpha, but rest assured, I WILL find a use for it soon! :) Techniques used: For the photo, I sandwiched it between 2 copies of the green bg paper, reduced it's opacity, erased the hard edges, then set the blend mode of the top copy of the green bg to 'soft light'. The only other blending I did on this layout was to the 'stax3' overlay. I set its blend mode to 'overlay' over the top copy of the green bg.

No commercial scrapping sites or acronyms. Designer and/or kit name only.): When I discovered which kit we would be using, I actually panicked for almost half an hour! I browsed through 3 years of kid pictures, coming up empty-handed, just totally stressed out. Then.....inspiration struck! (sans-alcohol, too, I'm proud to say ;) ) I had been fiddling &amp; playing with this photo of my step-dad's '56 Chevy for a couple of days last week. We may have clashing personalities, but I'm so often blown away by his skill at taking a classic, begun often as just a heap of rusted metal, or warped &amp; rotting wood, and transforming it into a creation of beauty that leaves most classic-era autophiles drooling in the wake of his exhaust pipes. For the photo: Originally, this photo included a 1954 Century mahogany boat on a trailer (which Dad also restored himself), but I really wanted to focus on the truck, so I extracted the truck from the main photo and placed it on its own layer and then duplicated that layer. I then went back to the photo layer, and using VP filters, did a sepia filter, duplicated that layer and applied the 'newsprint' filter. I then applied a Gaussian blur at about 15, set the overlay mode to 'Linear burn' and reduced opacity to my liking. Going back to the extractions, I set the blend mode of the top extraction to 'color burn', and merged it with the bottom extraction. Using a scalloped mat shape, I made a white one, set it behind my photo/extraction, and adjusted the edges of the photo to make it look like it was all one piece. I remember my Grammie had photobooks full of these scalloped-edge photos, and I wanted to keep with the 'aged' theme of the photo. The drop shadow was added last by making a triangular selection using the polygonal lasso tool, filling the selection on a new layer, blurring and warping to make it look as if the corner was 'lifted' by the flower/bead on the wire element. I then burned the tip of the corner a bit, then did a small, light amount of dodging just below that. For the layout: Really, the only adjustments made on the kit were to cut a strip of the striped paper and add a drop shadow, and to resize the grungy paper, rotate &amp; add drop shadow to it. I tucked the journaling mat &amp; circular frame elements behind my photo, rotating the mat a bit. With the glitter glue, I just duplicated and flipped a couple of times. I also erased a portion of a top copy of the beaded wire to tuck the flower &amp; bead under the edge of the photo. See above for drop shadow technique. :) Journaling: Dad's talent, and obsession, is rebuilding classics. This is his 1956 Chevrolet pickup. I wish I had photos of the rest of his amazing projects.

The only thing I know how to do with brushes is use them as blending/clipping masks. I found some free watercolor brushes a while back, so gave them a try. It looked horrible at full opacity, so I lowered it wayyyy down. I still think it looks weird. :lol: Credits: [url=&quot;http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2_18&amp;products_id=10901&quot;]Belinda Butterfly - Suzanne C.

A kit that truly captures the personality and free-spirit of Kay herself. Thank you, Ms. Meryl, for another gorgeous kit, and to our Kay, for being such an inspiration in so many ways! And, of course, in the true spirit of the love that IS the GT, I just HAD to use this photo of one of the most treasured times in my life...meeting 2 of the gorgeous Grannies IRL...PQFran &amp; LauraLou.

I constantly see him hanging from my bird feeder outside my window, but as soon as I reach for my camera, he's off and gone. I finally tricked him by sitting very still on my back porch one morning. When he finally realized I was sitting there he veered off and alighted on the power lines at the end of my driveway, where he then commenced to cussing me out in birdspeak. I managed to get a couple of shots before he flew off again.
