Belgium

Pictures from Belgium I took in the last years. (Brussels, Brugges, Oostend)
I rotated the template 90CW and then dragged all the layers over to an 8.5x11 page. (Sometimes I wish I would feel more comfy scrapping 12x12. all the great templates are that size!)
The background paper is a blend of two papers and after all was done and arranged I overlayed the whole layout with another of the papers set to soft light with lowered opacity.

Follow the Blue Bag

I had this layout all done in my mind before I even opened photoshop.
I knew which template to use, what papers, what I wanted to write.
But once I was almost done I realized it just did not feel right to me.And this is why I LOVE using templates and versatile kits.
I hid some layers, enlarged others and simply recolored some elements by adding color fill layers and using the hue blend mode.

Drizzt Do´Urden

I always loved books by R.A. Salvatore, and his stories in the Forgotten Realms (a D&D setting), centering around Drizzt Do`Urden, are my favorites.

"I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to
live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is
a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being,
would be the cruelest trick of all.- Drizzt Do`Urden"

Ireland - Cliffs of Moher

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland, February 28 2009

Irish Blessing:
"May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!"


I used the papers 7,9, and 11 for the Irish flag borders/paperstrips. Paper 11 was desaturated and brightened.
The paperstrips opacity was lowered a tad and a slight drop shadow added.
Paper 10 was used for the background. Paper 3 was used set to Color Burn on the pic, the background and the paperstrips - separately.
The title has a small drop shadow and the blessings opacity was lowered a bit.
