Summer living
Hi Everyone the challenge at Digitally Made is "Summer Fun / Patriotic". My make is of The Mumbles on the Gower Peninsula, such a lovely place to visit. Which means I'm going for Patriotic with a bit of Summer. I used a scrapbook layout to put all this together, I'm not sure I will get the hang of scrapbook layouts, but I do enjoy doing it when I decide to.

Seaside visit, PS alteration and picture heavy!
Hi Everyone, I saw this tutorial on Snickerdoodles and thought I would see if I could start adding extra layers and styles to my photographs. Here is my take on the idea. Apart from the edges I don't have the DP or images to use, so started with a photo of The Mumbles which is on the Gower coast a beautiful area and thankfully not too far from us.
I used the freebie edge from Snickerdoodles, a free texture by skeletalmess over the photo, then added a new layer of "dark scratches" I have had this since 2006, so don't know where from - sorry. Then added shadows, and a few more layer styles also the paper and tape and added styles to them too. This is quite a departure for me as I don't usually like to "mess things up" too much, but all in all I am quite pleased at what can be achieved with PS. I also used a paper torn brush here there are 38 shapes.
Here are a few more photos taken on the same day a few weeks ago.

| This "Apple" has been at The Mumbles since I was a child, a VERY long time ago. Although it had been damaged in winter storms in recent years, it it now as good as ever. |
