This is what came out of me... Cassell - What I found challenging with this lesson is while I could memorize the steps to making the gray shapes into masks, I don't understand the reason behind all of the steps. It would be good to understand why that particular sequence of steps went from the shape to a mask.

I like the 3D effect on the title. Just a straight inner bevel and drop shadow? Well executed though!

Time to pay tribute to the parents!

Nice result! Blue is probably the least common flower color.

WOW!

I greatly altered the template and made it into something else entirely. I wanted to really show off our lovely Rosie = AKA Rosalyn Grace. Also her dad hadn't made it into my projects yet, or her grandmom - Carole (my sister).

I love the crisp clean look Gerry

That's very creative! It inspires me to try something like that with the template too!

I like your aesthetic, Susan

Some of the text blurred in the reduced size, but is clear at full scale. They are adorable!

That's adorable!

Those are good suggestions, Carole, and I had the same thought. Only problem is what I have is about 50 photos I downloaded from my niece on Facebook and don't have the dates each photo was taken. I had a hard time finding his birthdate too. And, he has a twin sister I need to include in these. There are some great photos of the two of them I want to use. I'm mostly making them for my niece. On the second project the big picture had a bright blue pacifier which stuck out like a sore thumb. It was a real challenge to clone it out.

Great use of complimentary colors, Also nice 3D effects!

Lovely images Jannette! Very coherent design.

Tried to make one as clean and simple as possible.

hope you don't mind stealing that font for October too!

Yes, it does.

I figured out how to make a template for the boxes with rounded edges from watching Carole's Discovery Center Tutorial. After I deleted the square boxes and colored the rounded ones, I deleted the black outline of the boxes. I wanted no black on the upper left corner. You cant see it at this resolution but I also added an inner Bevel to the dates numerals!
