Here is another one. I took these pictures last night at the 4th of July fireworks. It looks like one picture but it is actually 3 pictures combined.

Sue, I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL effects from the 3 time overlay!! GORGEOUS!!

TNLori...love the soft white shading behind the words..but you are leaving out the blend base which is what would be most interesting to see what you do with a photo blender.. or paper blender.. Give the blender a try..See what you can do with it..GOOD EFFORT GIRL!!

Mary..I'm wowwed by your FLOWER POWER!! Now see what you can do with the blender piece!! LOL..

But.... but..... but.... I used the blender piece to make the soft white shading - should I not have made it transparent?

<que "A-ha" music> I'm having a brainstorm.... be back in a bit.... <"A-ha" music off>

And now for my second layout, done almost completely with paper scraps that came with SBM and shapes. The only shape that didn't come with the challenge kit is the "GrandDaughter" word shape. The two elements used ("2nd" & "Birthday") came from SBMs Baby Edition, Baby Dates.

Jenna turned 2 recently. One of her favorite gifts at the party was a stroller that was just her size that her Granny got for her. Once she opened that, nothing else mattered. All she wanted to do was push the stroller around the pavilion, and that is exactly what she did. She's such an industrious little creature. I wish I had half her energy!

Bless you TNLORI!! I didn't realize you used the base with less transparentcy..SORRY..Thought it was part of the paper.. very subtle!! You are so creative, I can't keep up!! LOL!!

You TOTALLY have the concept!! BRILLIANT!! THANK You!!

You are DEFINATELY getting the idea!! Love how you used the blender base like a title piece instead of attaching it to the picture edge or paper!! GREAT idea!! You've got it!! BIG HUG!!

[autisticwonder]

Here's another go at it.

You definately have the tip of using a title layer with different color back piece!! YEAH!! This templates is so soft and pretty..How did you use the blender base with this one..People are getting so clever I can't tell sometimes!! LOL..

I worked on that for a while thought I would never get it right. LOL! I must be honest I can't remember what all I did on the blending. I wish I had made some notes while working on it. I did so much doing and redoing till I got it the way I wanted it.

Finally a chance to honor Grandpop! This seemed like a good picture to use for this challenge. Hope I got it right this time, Donna.

[autisticwonder]
