Technique Challenge:
1. This challenge is to discover or rediscover a technique you have wanted to use. First rule is no templates or masks (you can use a mask only if you made it) of any kind. Here are so many awesome techniques for us digital scrappers. One that I have seen here generally by the GIMP or Creative Memory folks and that is the fabulous globe. (Does anyone have the directions for Photoshop CS?)
Tips at MouseScrappers:

2. Use the appropriate number of photos/papers for your technique. (If any number are appropriate…use as many or as few as you want).
3. Use elements from at least 2 different kits and repurpose (if a frame use for a different purpose or change it up) or add a style to it. You could even try brushes or different actions for this step. Have fun!
4. WORK A LITTLE MORE ON YOUR TECHNIQUE.
5. ADD SHADOWS OR ANYTHING ELSE YOUR LAYOUT NEEDS
6. Journal only if you want to ;) USE ONLY A ONE WORD TITLE.
7. Leave love for others.
*******BE SURE TO TELL EVERYONE WHAT TECHNIQUE YOU USED*******

I have always wanted to use a photo as my background, so decided this would work well for this LO.

Thank you so much Lisa for a great scrap.

Thank to the sponsor for a wonderful prize.

Well fellow scrappers off to work I go......................

Here's mine

I did a different kind of blending masking on the photo.
I used the One Fell Swoop for the word "Minnie" and cut apart a swoopy swirl and added parts to the M and the e. I used an ornate frame behind the photo as an accent instead of a frame.

I created the Goofy background by blending backgrounds and elements together. I seriously had no idea this was possible, so thanks a lot for this challenge!!! Also I focussed on the cluster, since I'm trying to improve myself in that. It's still quite simple, but I'm still learning ;)
Oh yeah, also: the journaling paper was actually a frame.

I blended two papers for my background
Can you tell I'm getting down to the nitty gritty of pictures left in my Disney scrapping book? :yeah:

This gave me an excuse to try to make a globe! I have always loved Paula's layout so I scraplifted it for this challenge. That is my technique - making a globe.

Lisa, thanks for the Challenge! I will leave love as soon as I am able (tomorrow once the SS is done, because I am going to need all that time to catch up from the 1st two days I missed 'cause I was on vacation on the Disney Dream. :) )

Here is my page Lisa. Thank you for pushing me to try something new. I am not good at blending, so I blended a photo AND feathered the edge of the photo to blend that as well, which I have never done before. I also used a gear as a frame for my date.

Technique Challenge:
1 Technique – use a font to create an alpha (that is what you meant for technique I hope)
2. Used 1 paper to make the alpha
3. I used a frame and repurposed it as a paper topper (removed 3 of the sides). For the butterfly, I used the “intensify” filter in my software. I also tried the built-in brushes that came with my software (the heart confetti).
4. Added an outline color and embossed effect to the alpha.

I hope I followed the steps. The technique I used was blending the photo with the background. I used a vine from another kit and made it into a frame around the photo. I also used a sparkle brush to make the sparkles and used a gold glitter style to make them shiny. I am going to look further into the blending of the photo. I also like the relfection technique you used. Thank you for hosting!

Here is mine..my technique was blending....I followed a tutorial I found..I don't blend very often and need more practice.

I could have used more time but I'm off to my niece's program. I've been wanting to try to combine my photo with one taken by a photopass CM. Here's by attempt:

Thanks for hosting!

I think I tried to make this much harder than it really was, I kept feeling like it could be better but it is what it is and I am pretty sure it meets all the requirements.

Again thanks for hosting and thanks for the PP:
