Today is release day for a fabulous digi-kit from Amy’s Designs. It is called Evening Elegance and it is perfect for portraits or other fancy photos. Amy actually gave it away in 6 pieces in February and March, but if you missed your chance to snap it up for free, don’t despair, you can purchase it on sale this weekend.
I have two layouts to share using this kit. First up is one of my sister-in-law Tami. I have very few photos of her, but I really like this one taken in 2010 at a family reunion. The only thing I don’t like about the photo is the busy background. I felt it was distracting from her pretty face, so I extracted just Tami from the image. However, I didn’t like her without the shape of the photo partly because extracting hair is hard, so I put another copy of the photo behind the extraction and radially blurred it. I need to practice some more so I can just remove the distractions. I used Creative Scrappers Sketch #203 as my starting point.

This second layout is of Jessica. I had bought some cookie dough with a Minnie Mouse design (why that was considered Easter cookie dough is beyond me) and she had fun placing the pre-shaped dough on the cookie sheet and then eating the cookies after baking.
