Got Those Denim Blues!!!

Just a quick entry before I drag myself to bed! I wanted to post a layout that I finished night before last. I have been experimenting with different photo techniques to include changing an UNSIGHTLY background to eliminating it all together!!! How AMAZING it is to be able to do such INCREDIBLE touch up work on one's computer as opposed to taking it to a PROFESSIONAL at an obscene cost! On this photo of Robert's niece, Annalise, I cut her out with my selection tool, inverted the selection and then applied a FABRIC effect to the background so that it would not be SO distracting, leaving FULL focus on Annalise's SWEET face. I LOVE the fact that I caught her in a bit of a melancholy mood as she was having to wait for her brother and cousin to come back out to join her for some CREATIVE playtime. Anna is a VERY bright and intelligent young lady with an INCREDIBLE imagination!!! Ahhh ... to be SO young again! This scrapkit, "LOVE that denim!!!!" by Stacey Kluczny at 3Scrapateers was SO perfect for these photos and VICE-VERSA!!! Jessica ... I am probably doing this backwards, but I am killing MANY birds with ONE blog!!! I will write an entry specifically for you in answering your question as to how DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING works. I will try to put that together for you in the next day or so as I am JUGGLING several things at once and need to get them finished!

Till next time ...
