SB- I have a tip!

[bananiem]

You've probably all seen this and done this but it was a first for me:
I saw in a magazine that if you have a blurry or dark picture you can use a vellum overlay to draw attention to what you really want the viewer to see. My pictures from Fantasmic were dark and there were heads at the bottom of all the pictures. So I put a piece of white vellum completely over the page and cut rectangles out of it with my coluzzle so that it would just have parts of each picture peeking out. It really made them look better and brighter!
I hope this makes sense because I don't have any way to post them!

This is an awesome tip! I recently tried it with a layout I did of 4 generations, my grandfathers brown/gold living room really did not need to be the focus of the pic (LOL!) so I used the vellum so that you could just see us!

Beanie, it's interesting because for once I was able to see Grover's photo. Usually I'm the one having problems with links, etc.

hmmmm,not sure why that is.... I was trying to figure out how to just add the pic to my post but of course no luck-just had a little red x show up! If someone can tell me how to do this I will add the pic to my post so that you can see it.. Thanks
