Snow Day and Bosom Buddies

I'm still learning new techniques in my Photoshop Elements class over at Scraps N Pieces. This time it was photo overlays and feathering, both really cool techniques! I used them both in this layout.

I've always loved these silly pictures from the Shaw family reunion back in 2008. Emily and her cousin Joseph were like two peas in a pod that summer. I'm so glad these goofy moments were captured for posterity. :)

My next layout was done for a speed scrap with specific instructions to follow. It's a good thing I had a day to finish because it took me far longer than an hour! I used a picture of Emily from our single snowfall this winter.

So what do you think? Not bad for a beginner! :D
