  1. This was either my first or one of my first collections and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I have used it over and over. Alas, it is stored on an EHD that doesn't seem to want to crank up and work (not panicking yet, will save that nervous breakdown for another day) - so into my cart this little jewel of a collection will go again. http://store.scrapgirls.com/Countryside-Collection-Biggie.html
  2. This probably sounds like a dumb question - but I've been doing digital for so long that I'm out of the loop on what the best adhesive products are for paper crafting. Specifically, what should I be using to adhere papers/mats down to my background papers? I recently did a real paper album for a cousin's funeral service and used an acid-free glue stick meant for scrapbooking, but I have no confidence that what I stuck down will stay. I want to go ahead and get my family's heritage photos organized and in albums. I have acid-free photo corners, but for mats and other items there has to be something better than glue sticks. Years ago it seems like I used something like a tape gun, but it was awkward and expensive to boot. Advice?
  3. This caught my eye in the Gallery - it is so lovely. Perfect collection for the beautiful photos and vows.
  4. Woops, sorry they turned out so large. They looked like thumbnails in the comment box. [I deleted the humongous pictures and put in thumbnails, but I can't figure out how to delete this post. Still with a red face ]
  5. I actually used effects on all the photos. I adjusted the levels on the photos of Karen, and used Brandy's spotlight (reversed and flipped) to brighten up her face, which was in shadow. The two of Karen and the one of the water were all taken the same day, and they were very gray, so I wanted to warm them up to go with the yellow paper. I used the Creamy Pop of Color to warm those up. Then I used the spotlight on the one of the dunes to add the white to it so it would go with the other pictures that had so much white in them. (I used overlay and soft light blending modes with the effects, and adjusted the opacity.) I think I added the spotlight to the water, too, just to give it some more pop. It probably takes me way too long to build a layout, but I love to try things and just see how it looks! Here are the original photos:
