Love Your Face

Happy Wednesday, blog friends!  Have you had a good week so far?  Mine has been good...just pretty typical.  Nothing very exciting happening around here.  Before I share my layout today, I just wanted to remind you that I have a giveaway on THIS POST.  A Glitz Design "77" 12x12 collection pack is up for grabs...I will announce the winner this coming weekend! Check out that post & leave a comment for your chance to win!

Today is One Buck Wednesday at Snap Click Supply, and Glitz Design has two kits on sale for an amazing price!!

•  Dapper Dan paper pack…$4.99  $1.00
• Dapper Dan element pack #2…$3.99  $2.00

Dapper Dan is such a great masculine line.  I love all the woodgrain included in it, and the blue & green added in is the perfect touch of color.  It went perfectly with this photo I snapped of my husband one day while we were out & about in Fargo in May.

I really wanted a more colorful paper to pop underneath the wood veneer circle accent in the background.  So I put a strip of paper underneath it, then added a layer mask to it.  I filled the layer mask with black (which makes the paper go away), then used my white brush tool to bring it back just in the circles.  I have no idea if this is the easiest way to do it, but it is what works best for me!

I also used a Two Peas cut file to create the brush script that I've added to the photo.  I love that cut files (as long as they are in PNG format) can be used for so much more than just on your Silhouette!  I use them all the time in my digital layouts as clipping masks, brush files & stamps.  If you do both mediums of scrapbooking, cut files are an especially worthy investment!

I'm entering this into A Blog Named Hero challenge #45, which is to create anything but a card.  It also fits Use Your Stuff #139, which is all about circles.  Hopefully a digital layout is an okay submission!
