*** A Woman's Loving Touch by Michelle McCoy and Freebie***

Michelle McCoy's portion of the Feb-Mar Hide Find Design Challenge is a kit called A Woman's Loving Touch.  You can find it in her Store at Scrapbook Max!



Here's a page I made with this kit.


***Scrapbook Max Challenge 42***

I wanted to share a page I made for a challenge at Scrapbook Max!.  Michelle McCoy hosted the Challenge.  She gave us this mini kit of papers only.  We were challenged to use only those papers to make a layout.  We could use Shapes to make things out of the papers. I used some of Michelles Shapes from one of her 100 Shapes Kits,

Here's the paper kit we were given to use.  You can still chek out this Challenge over at Scrapbook Max Forum.

 I chose to change the colors of everything to Red, Black and White to compliment the photos I used.

I made this page using just the papers and Shapes.



I made the same page with the exact same elements but I added texture to them in PhotoShop.  Can you see the difference?


Thanks for stopping by.
