Learning new techniques is so much fun!

The background on this page was made using a technique from a Memory Mixer tutorial.  The ice cream was done by turning the pictures to black and white and using selective colorizing with GIMP.  Our wonderful teacher, Becky, showed me how to do this.  Thanks, Becky!

Redo of a page I didn't like!

This is the redo of a page I did with the same picture.  The first page is posted earlier in the blog.  The more I looked at the other page, the more I thought it was too harsh looking for the picture.  This one,  I think,  fits the picture better!

Pre-made page with some editing!

Finished page with some editing.  I changed the opacity on the cluster frame to make it lighter.  I also added the circle clusters under the pictures and the heart brads on the pictures.  I slanted the journal box to give me more room to write my caption.  Finally, I added the circle overlay.  I love the finished page!

This was the original page from the Quick Mix Pages in Memory Mixer.

4 Masks on One Page? Someone stop me! I'm a Mask Fool!!

I went crazy using photo masks on this page.  I have 3 masks under the photo.  One in red and 2 different ones in gray.  Then I used a photo mask on the curvy zigzag paper on the left side too. 
Hey, Kim, let's get together and have a lesson on grouping clusters.  It will be fun!

Overlay and mask with background paper = Lots of fun!

I used animal print paper with an overlay and with a mask on this page.

All Played Out

When I saw this photo of my grandson, my heart just melted.  I knew it was worthy of a scrapbook page all to itself.

Photo Masks are Endless!

I have discovered that I can use any embellishment shape to make a photo mask.
On these 2 pages, I used a frame and a cluster as photo masks and then went looking for papers in the colors/ patterns I wanted.  A little more time consuming but so simple to do.  And the possibilities are endless!
