Four? Oh my! I imagine you've seen every episode of Power Rangers that ever existed then! Thanks so much for the kind words...k.

Aww...thank you. Well, the background was just a slightly gradient background from black to grey. The picture layers were time consuming to extract but not difficult. The background picture of Darth Vader...We have a rather large Pez dispenser that has a Vader head on top so I took a picture of that and then extracted just the head to its own layer and saved it as a .png and pulled it in but lowered the opacity to about 50%. The Lego Stormtrooper was actually a Lego kit that we bought and put together. I did the same thing with it that I did with Vader...just extracted the Legos to their own layer and pulled just that layer into the layout. Then my son loves to dress up in his "Luke" outfit which is actually a Doggie Kruger Power Ranger outfit that is now about one size too small. But he still loves to wear it. So I took pictures of him with one of his light sabers. I did change the color of the saber light to green because that's "Luke's" color and he wanted it to be that but other than that I just extracted him. Oh...I did tweak the saber beams a little too. I put them on their own layer as well...first to make them green and then added a layer style so I could get to that "Outer Glow" style option and tried to make them look as glowy as possible. The blue lines were just a stroke with a Blue Ghost layer style applied. And the title was Carbon Block I think with a Wow Chrome style applied and then an Outer Glow applied as well. He loves it!...k

Wow...this is beautiful. Very nice job....KimBe

Thank you so much. I've been reading that book "The Big Picture" about scrapbooking philosophy and I liked the ideas and the clean page look that the author tends to have so I opted to try it....KimBe

Ditto to what JennK said. It's beautiful.
