Friday 3/23 Challenge_Birth Date

It's great to see you back in the gallery, Dot. I love whatever it is you did to the photo. The rest is clever, creative and lovely!

Me too Dot - so happy to see one of your layouts again. I've sure missed them and you too!

Love your page - what a sweet photo - the expression on Logan's face is priceless and so is his proud admirer's! I really like the soft blue background you used and the "he said/she said" journaling - how clever! I also really like your title, the stapled hearts and the soft photo treatment is really gorgeous! Lovely page...

Dot this is lovely! Have you desaturated the colours on the photo? Youve done a great job. Welcome back.

Thanks so much! It's from a few months ago, but it looks as if I started with a very bright picture and toned it down by taking the original down to Normal @ 67% Opacity, then duplicated that layer and changed to Darker Color at 52% and then duplicated that layer with the same Darker Color @ 52% setting. Small changes which helped it to work with the bg. BTW, forgot to mention Logan is with his Mom, my DD!

LOVE the photo, Dot! Great colors, and I really like your composition. It's got a real magazine quality to it!

Love the he said she said. Cute page.

wonderful layout. beautifully composed. love the paper layering.

Gorgeous photo treatment and background! The "he said, she said" is too cute. This is a wonderful wedding layout!

Lovely layout, Dot! I'm glad this challenge inspired you to finally finish it
