Contest Layout Six

 Layout 6 "Love to Live Life"

“At least one layout should contain an interactive

element. You may use a technique from Magic™,

but your element can also be an original creation.”and stamping requirements.

The pictures are actually post cards from our travels, photo copied with a laser printer (black only) on regular copy paper and distressed with inks using sponge daubers and watercolor pen.  Before coloring I crumpled each picture to give them a vintage look.

 Photographs were printed by SnapFish using their collage print option.
This completes my album, thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed it.

but be an artistic representation of the wish you are portraying.

Journaling should be the main focus on these pages.
