Weekly Challenge #143- July 18- July 24

Hello, everyone! How has your summer been going? I feel like mine is just flying past me and I'm just struggling to keep up with it! Let's all take a deep breath together, and I'm hoping you can join me for this weeks challenge.

I asked my good friend Kelly to provide the PP this week because it's one that I've wanted for awhile now. I absolutely love her glitter alpha series, they sure do come in handy when you want a little bling on your LO. I've been really wanting a lime green one for those thousands of Space Mountain pictures that I have. I'm still doing LOs from Space from our 2010 trip, it seems like we're always on that ride. Luckily, Kelly was happy to oblige me, and I'm thrilled to show you this week's PP.

So, here's what you have to do to earn it...

1. Pick a template and tweak it to suit your needs- I'm all about the template, and it's summer, so let's make it easy on ourselves!
2. This week's challenge is all about the blend. I want to see a blended photo of some sort on your LO.
3. Now blend two or more kits together. It's a great way to really stretch that stash.
4. Blend 2 or more alphas, fonts, whatever to make your title.
5. Upload your LO to the Mousescrappers Weekly Challenge Gallery.
6. Post your LO here and in the appropriate forum.
7. Try to leave some love for other participants. I know you're busy, but sometimes a kind word really means a lot.

Ok, that's it! Who's ready to have some fun with me? Here's my LO using the new alpha. I so love it!

It is posted here in the forums.

Sounds like fun, Jenn!

Plus, you can never have too many sparkly alphas! I'll be back!

I know Lisa is quite a bit more advanced than me in the blend, but what I did was SUPER easy! I mean even I could do it!

I just picked an eraser with a soft fade on it, put it on a really big size, then turned the opacity down to like 20%. Then it's just a matter on erasing until you are happy with the results.

Oh WOW!!! Looky there...I didn't realize how many different eraser are per-loaded into the program...

Thanks Jenn!!

All the CT ladies have been so helpful with my summer quest to learn PSE!!

I know, I didn't realize I could change the eraser at first either...
