Anatomy of a Simple Layout

Mixed Media Mashups No. 4 by Krystal Hartley +  A Happy Thought by Krystal Hartley =

The Mixed Media MashUp is an art-journal style background template. You simply clip papers from a kit to the template in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to create your own unique background paper.  I could use the same papers but clip them in a different order and have a completely different look.  This background took less than five minutes to create!

Once the background was complete I added my photo and some elements from the kit to complete this layout:

This layout was made with Krystal Hartley's "A Happy Thought" and "Mixed Media MashUps4"

Leaving me some love makes me pathetically happy, sometimes even giddy. So go ahead, make my day!
