Difficult photos

I use all photos, even difficult ones. I think these are tough because of the sea of people, darkness, and difficult colors. I have decided paper strips are the way to go when you just can't figure out which papers to use. Use them ALL! LOL! I chose to use my drawer full of Sassafras Lass because it looked like "waiting for a parade". I have always wanted to mask off and white wash so I tried it and it was FUN! You have got to give it a try. I don't like it at all when my paper warps so I tried ironing the whole page before putting on the photos. It didn't help. It flattens in the album, but it still bugs me. OH and I have to say thank you to Tami for the great title!

Anyway, This is for Sketch #35 at SketchSavvy and the gold border is a free SCAL cut file. CLICK HERE to go to the Sketch and cut file.

Ahahahaha! I would NEVER have been brave enough to try this. Seriously scary! But it was a triumph! The Mickey mask is fab and I love the pom border. But don't count on me trying this layout...I'm a wimp!
