My son and DIL took my DGDs to see Justin Bieber last fall. Needless to say, the girls were EXCITED! (I think their Mommy was too, but she didn't want to admit it!)
This is for this week's digi challenge to make a page using an 8.5x11 page and turning it into a 12x12. You can check out the challenge here:
One of the pages I made for an 8.5x11 calendar included a collage of images from that concert with a turquoise border. I added that page to a 12x12-sized page and added embellies and title.
I did a lot of work in Photoshop Elements. It's hard to see some in this reduced size & res., but the page is much crisper when viewed as a 12x12.
For those who are interested in what I did with Photoshop Elements:
1. I reduced opacity on a photo of Justin & blended it with three other papers for the background.
2. In the photo of the wings, you couldn't see the design on the one on our right, so I found another photo online that had a better image, extracted it and copied it to my photo, making adjustments and reshaping as necessary. Took a while, but I think it was worth it.
3. Added an outer glow effect to the photo of the stage;
4. Reduced opacity & blended some items in the collage, including the photos of the family in the corners & 2 pics of Biebs;
5. Added strokes around the photos;
6. I played around with several effects on the title, including shadowing, bevel, outer & inner glow and stroke.

Just LOVE how you did this! DD2 is more of a One Direction fan so I may have to use this for inspiration with that. I love how you added his photo and reduced the opacity! The colors are fantastic!

LADYB266...The concert was actually in Glendale, AZ rather than Gilbert. The same one my son's family went to! The first thing I heard about it from them was that he threw up on stage. Bummer memory, but unique!
Thanks for everyone's nice comments. Sharon, I'm honored that my digi pages give you a twinge of thought to getting into digi (although I KNOW you don't plan on doing it! lol)

Stunning page!!! I thought it looked amazing even before I read the details of how you created it, but now I can appreciate the work that went into making this layout. Great job.
