Hi KellyJolene,
Thanks! I think it's called an 'overlay' not really that up on the scrappin' lingo - I learn as I go, but it's super easy to do. Take your picture, make your eraser really transparent and soft, erase all the edges, then go to settings of your picture and just play with the transparency bar until you get the effect you want. Try it! Carena taught me how to do it - if you look up some of her LO's you might get a better idea, she's got it down to a fine art!! LOL I love all her LO's.

Hey Kel - the question is - who's kid is that? I do not recognize them? lol. Great layout!

[ksd_24_f]

LOL, Tina, I knew you'd pick up on that one!! Truth is I didn't have a picture of my children eating 'summer time' food, so I googled 'eating watermelon' and this cute kid popped up, so I used him!! LOL

OOPS! sorry to let the cat out of the bag. It is a great picture, and a great layout Kel. Really is.

I really didn't have any pictures of eating outside, so just used one of a watermelon I cut up to eat - it was very sweet & juicy!

I'm very new to digital scrapbooking. This is a very cute kit, and I happened to have taken some fun watermelon pics this summer! Thanks Katie!
