Apparently I work well under pressure. Tomorrow is the deadline for the 3rd week of the Master of Scrap competition over at Scrapaneers, and I finished my first entry this morning and haven’t even started the second entry for this week. One step at a time.
This week the category is Traditionalist. Large photos that tell a story with realistic looking papers and embellishments, this one is all about the shadowing. Manipulating shadows can make or break a digital layout that you want to look like it was done with traditional paper scrapbooking supplies.
Some of the elements on my layout have two or three shadow layers applied. I further altered some using the Warp tool in Photoshop to make the elements look like they are raised up off the page. It is definitely about the little details.
Here is my layout, “The Extraction”,

It seems like once that first tooth comes out it causes a chain reaction in their wee little mouths. This was the second tooth that Bodhi lost in the span of week. This time he was going to take matters into his own hands (literally) and pull that tooth out with the help of some dental floss. That tooth was so wiggly that it almost popped out when I tied the dental floss on. In the end he was able to give a tug and got the tooth out.
Now I am off to brainstorm for the next layout….32 hours and counting.
