This first layout is one I did a while ago for a challenge for an online crop I participated in. It was a pretty simple challenge to incorporate the wooden letter/number, and I had fun capturing some of the cute things about Alex at age 3.
I also edited the photos so they had a bit of a tint to them that I felt went well with the papers - it's essentially a sepia tint, but with a bit more of a soft tint to them. I played around with the layers opacity and converted the pictures to B&W before doing the sepia overlay and then softened things a bit as well. Not sure how much of that will show up in the scan as I'm finding a lot of the scans look uber saturated, which isn't always the case in the original.

The second layout is some pictures of my son from the photos we were sent with his adoption referral. I love, love, love these photos as they were some of the first we ever saw of him, but the colours were pretty bright so I hadn't scrapped them except in his adoption scrapbook. I came across some very cute baby papers and embellishments in colours I thought would work really well with these photos, so I did the layout and was pleased with how it turned out.
