jhbren Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I just found this game yesterday, so I'm playing catch-up. So far, my layout has three photos, each with a frame, and four papers, two patterned, and two blended. I also used a layout template, with some alteration.

princessrunningfingers Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh, Joyce! I'm so sorry for your horrible week! I hope dh is feeling better and recovers quickly. Thanks, Carla. He seems to be doing really well. I think the main thing now is to try to keep him from getting an infection. His doctors all seem to be pleased with how well he's doing.

Terri M Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 What a a great layout this is for me! I always love the layouts in the galleries I see with a single photo yet can almost never force myself to not use piles myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I knew this was coming and still only looked this morning for a photo. I think it has to be one I took today of Kiahna in her school uniform for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well, following Ms. Valerie in her "winter" theme, I came across a photo of my son that I just love (he was playing in his long-anticipated snow in South Dakota). Poor, deprived kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in N.Z Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This was a hard decision so came up with a photo that was already on my computer instead of looking through my EHD :)/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Week Two; Task Two Alter your photo in some way. Turn it black and white or sepia, or you could crop it into an interesting shape, anything goes. I now have a new favorite photo....but I think I'll keep the one I started with and save the new one for the swap crop. Too many favorites lately!! Such a good problem to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think I will play with my mine photo and see if I can isolate the color to just the subject. Can anyone recommend good ribbon to wrap around a frame or photo? I'm sure we'll need embellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have a favorite photo... I think. On my way to alter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnotDreams Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I now have about a half dozen photos that I've altered in one way or another. I'm waiting to see what the next step is to choose which one makes it onto the layout. In some ways these slow scraps are driving me crazy because it's totally the opposite way of how I scrap. I tend to choose a photo and open it in PSE along with several papers and a ton of embellishments that may or may not end up in the final page. It's a lot of experimentation for me, though I usually have a pretty good idea of what the end result will be before I start. It's good to try it from a different angle from time to time.

CRS Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Week Two; Task Three Use an odd number of papers on your layout. REQUIREMENT: Post an image of your layout so far in this thread. Here's how: 1. Be sure you have saved your layout as a PSD file first. 2. Save your images at 4 x 4 inches (288 x 288 pixels), 72 dpi (smaller than you would usually "save as" for web.) 3. In full editor, click on "attach photo", navigate to your layout image on your computer, then upload. 4. Then click the "add to post" button.

ValerieT Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yep I did it again! I added my papers last night, hey there has to be some advantage when you've written the tasks!, went to save it today to post here but hated it. So I started again. Here is mine so far, unless I change my mind again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhbren Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Finished step three - after much sampling and manipulating of papers. The photo (taken by my DD, the kiddos' mother), was altered by Brandy's SketchIt AND Ultimate Artist actions; the results were blended, then clipped to Syndee's Artful Photomasks. There are four visible papers - not an odd number! But the top layer is a photo manipulated with the SketchIt action, then merged to one of Syndee's Artful SSPapers, tinted green; Brandy's Vellum paper is layered over that the rusty tint resulted from applying the Hue blend. Does that count as five papers? ^_^/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraYB Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm going to use this photo of DS playing in the first snow of the season. Task 2 complete - used sepia tone with color isolation Task 3 complete - added three different papers and here is my LO thus far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnotDreams Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm playing along here too. Did some photo alterations in PSE (crop. straighten, tone down highlights in the windows), then ultimately changing the shape using the clipping mask. I think there's a total of 7 papers in the layout at this time. Worked ahead a bit with a little word art and embellishments that may not stay in the final layout. Here's what I have so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I played a bit with my photo by using levels adjustment and slightly enhancing the color. For my papers I used Katherine Weaver's Damask Nuevo and filled it with "Poppy 3" and "Mum" from DMI's Posy papers (retired). The thumbnails I'm seeing look great -- can't wait to see the finished layouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
