Description

1. Warp three shadows (3 paper strips top right corner- used a tutorial with a smudge tool)
2. Use 4 circles (circle brush and 3 buttons)
3. Subject: All About Me
4. Scrap from one kit, and use every single paper in the kit (Plum Pretty Karen Funk)
5. Take a self-portrait and use it on your layout
6. Use a stroke or outline somewhere on your page (photos and title)
7. Use song lyrics on your page (Beautiful Day {U2})
8. Journal directly on your photo (song lyric)
9. Choose three layouts from the gallery and use as inspiration
10. Use a brush to distress your text (used the star brush on the jounaling)
11. Use brackets on your page (around the title)

Warping shadows and distressing text were both really difficult for me. I started this over several times and spent most of the weekend on it. Oh and I used one of my old layouts as a starting point which didn't really save me any time.

lizziej Profile Gallery Registered: Jan 2010 Posts: 609	Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:17pm Fantastic job, Bea! I love this. Cute photos of you. I almost used that kit of Karen's. I'd never warped shadows or distressed text either. I had tried one warp shadows tutorial, but it turned out it wasn't the best; I think a step was left out. So I had to search for another.

liz-jutila Profile Gallery Registered: Jan 2010 Posts: 3,861	Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:36pm It turned out great, no one would ever know it was tough. I like the photos of you! Great lyrics to pick. GO Bea! On to round 5!
MamaBug Profile Gallery Registered: Jan 2010 Posts: 919	Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:12pm It's fantastic Bea! I almost picked that same kit, I love it so. But, I thought that using that same kit on another layout about me might be getting a bit cliche by now. :D Great photos!
