1st time CT for BeibelScraps

Being so new to digi-scrapping AND unable to work with a deadline, I was thrilled when Bianca at BeibelScraps let me be part of her one-time CT call for her new kit "Intensity". Once I decided which picture to use, it fell together so quickly! I had fun experimenting with new-to-me parts of PSE 5 -- the eraser I used on one layout had disappeared (maybe it wasn't an eraser, but something else?? will have to hunt for it again because I like what it did... like a scruffer scruffing vs eraser erasing (ha!) -- I found this special effect eraser with butterflies and it went SO well with the rest of the layout. Peter & Elise (our youngest son & now daughter-in-law!) had an outdoor wedding, in Holland MI, which was beautiful in spite of the rain! Pictures had to be moved from the beach to the church where the reception was held. . . making this picture a fun one to do things to (more experimenting! and learning how to use PSE 5!!).

Last month, I worked on extracting them from a window, pillar & cement background (flowers were original). . . trying for something we could frame for our wedding gallery upstairs. . . was able to tie the new background to the rich purple in her bouquet and the bridesmaid dresses. Today, I got to work with it some more -- we continually give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful girl He brought into Peter's life.
