Tough Enough

I've been wanting to do a layout like this for quite a while. Meister has so many scars on his back from his misadventures, that I wanted to somehow document them for him. Some are from typical boyhood experiments, but jumping down Grandma's laundry chute and landing in the wooden crate in the basement? How many boys have only wished they could do that, but never dared?

I've been getting more and more addicted to the Wacom Tablet I got for Christmas, and it did make drawing the arrows here a cinch. (Thanks, Mom & Dad!)

That's great! I'm trying not to feel discouraged when I see your great LOs. ;)

How did you get the one picture to kind of "melt" into the background paper?

SO MUCH to learn!

If you mean the picture that shows his back, I basically selected Meister, inversed the selection, and hit delete. That erased all the background for me, and I just dragged Meister onto my layout canvas.

Actually, I mean the photo of him from the front. "Melt" probably wasn't the right word to use, but I like how the background kinda pops through the photo around the edges.

So much to learn, so little time!

That's even easier! Click on the layer with that picture. Choose your eraser tool with a grungy brush, and erase the picture away to reveal the background underneath.
