Tue freebie challenge 04mar12

Wow, how clever. I must really stop deleting the dud photos. Love how you blended your photo into the background.

Wow! Like belle says, very clever. Beautiful job as always.

Another great LO Jody. I'm learning more and more never to throw photos away if they're technically less than perfect (most of mine fall into that category) because there is always something can be done to them to make them acceptable.

I love your pretty pearly embellishments and flowers on either side of the layout and the flowery swirls. So pretty and feminine. Your photo is adorable and I like how you used the vellum for that soft effect. Very pretty.

Beautiful Jode - you can take any photo and make it beautiful with your creative talents! I love this! I love the little sparkly overlays (?) you've placed atop your photo!

Jode, this is exquisite! Only YOU could take an overexposed photo and create such a beautiful layout. I love what you did with that lovely self portrait - such a dreamy quality to the pic and how beautifully you blended it into the subtle wooden background. Wonderful use of the vellum freebie and gorgeous use of all sorts of embellishments. Your cluster is wonderful and those flowery swirls just magical - I like how your eyes are peering out through some of them... Your title is perfect for the page and my only objection is that it seems worth way more than the 5 cents on those tickets! Another Jode masterpiece.

What an awesome idea! Filing that away for future reference. I really like the monochromatic palette. That is definitely something I've been afraid to try myself. Beautiful job!

I love dreamy you behind the vellum! Also love how you kept the feminine look of the page with jewels and flowers against the rough-textured background. This has such a wonderful, artsy, feel. Love it!

This IS a work of art! It's already been said, but it's gorgeous and I love it!

Too cool Jode! Love love the monochromtic look of your layout! You are so creative!!
