Just A Few More Before I Leave Town

Of course, it figures! As soon as I think I am caught up, more challenges popped into my Reader-LOL! I really enjoyed these too!
.
This one if for Making Lemonade. This challenge blog helps us use those imperfect photos. This one was to use a blurry picture and incorporate the reason it is blurry into our layout. My reason is pretty obvious, these 2 were flying by at what seemed to be light speed! lol

I used Bazzill cs, Bo Bunny paper, Walmart chipboard letters, Bazzill chipboard which I inked and dotted with Stickles, and brads. Pretty simple. I also got to play with photoshop and learn just a little bit more about it. I had accidentally used a date/time stamp and was stuck with the date on the photo. I crudely used the paint brush tool and colored over the yellow stamp. I even figured out how to make the image smaller and print it on a 4x6 at Costco!.
This is for Method Playground. We were supposed to make an element by repeating the design of our patterned paper. I used some American Crafts scraps and used the backs to re-create the pattern on the paper-I just free-handed it. I also used American Crafts thickers. Hmmm, maybe I should've added something else to this layout! lol No, I don't have stock in American Crafts either.


I hope I haven't overdone it with all the challenges. This will be my last post until I come back on Sunday, which I should have TONS of pics to share. Have a great holiday weekend!

WAAAAAY too cool that you were able to use those amusement park photos (which naturally ALWAYS come out blurry, don't they?) love this layout! Thanks for playing!!!
