This months Ocollab, Shop-O-Holic  has shopping, the favorite pass time of many women. Not mine anymore but I found an awesome quote in the kit, made a Google search on "cat walk"  and found this awesome photo from the Aw10 show from  Vilsbøl de Arce

I made sevral layers, Used the cutout filter and The watercolor filter, used hard light on a untreated layer. Then I made a group and made a black mask (fill the white mask with black or alt click on the mask icon on the layers palette) and painted it back with a watercolor brush on a low density

Changes with Vibrant Autumn, a 2014 Oscraps Collab

Every month there is a release of an collab. This time a autumn themed kit. Also we have a collaboration challenge which you can find here.

The challenge was to scrap about a change and to use at least one fall color. I 'm busy composing my yearly scrap album and discovered a lack of Effen scraps. I remembered this oldie from 2011(not difficult at all because it hangs on my wall)

You really see she is the big sister of pieper.  I blended some papers of Vibrant autumn using a layer mask to get the photo clear. I also used a hue/ saturation adjustment layer to get more saturation in the eye. I filled the adj mask with black and painted the eyes back with white

I made a smart object of the frame and Photo, Ctr clicked it and made a work path (right click)

2 Challenges, 3 lay outs

I already finished two Ochallenges, The copy cat and the color

 The Copy Cat Challenge

 You find it here Timounette made a template based on a lay out of a member (this time Angela)

I made this 2 lay outs

I rotated the template 90 degrees CW, clipped the photos. I tried a multi paper approach but that became a mess. I put the elements on its place and made with a rounded custom shape a work path to made a text path I made a whole group from the template(minus back ground) because I want add something extra. That extra became a blended photo

I duplicated my photo tree times. The bottom one got a layer mask (Alt- click for a black lm), I painted the photo "back" and set it on screen, the middle one I clipped to a Anna Aspnes clipping mask (also on Screen) and the top one i clipped to the merged blocks (lin dogde0. I duplicated that one and applied a Acrylic style on it(made by myself, taken from a the layer book of Matt Klokovski). 

Because it was part of a spread I used the same elements in this lay out

So Quirky

This month the Oscraps designers joined together to design a quirky Collab. It became a very fun and artsy kit suitable for making All about me lay out. So I did. I took an foto of myself I used in the Digidare and made another lay out of it.

I made this lay out with it I reflected the photo. I loved Val's glasses so I used them. I made a selection of my curtains and made a layer mask of it (selection)

This lay out was an entry for a Digidare. The word art spiral was made in illustrator> I used Courntney's design awesome kit Summer poppies. Unfortunately she's retired from Oscraps.

You can find more about Megs spotlight here. The challenge was to use two or more templates for your lay out. I used 3 templates of the Living out loud collab (Crafty Button Design, Courtney's Design and Our Misadventures) Unfortunately taken from the store.

I  started with one, make the Circle cluster smaller (in the yellow circle), deleted all the clutter and made use of the .png files from the other 2 templates. if you drag and drop, the files are on the right place.

I used the plum photo mask en put it behind the Circles cluster

I loved the ink spot but i cut it in 3 pieces to place it slightly differently and be able to play with the blend modes

I had no plan nor photo and wanted to play with Courtneys designs Young at Heart. I filled the template parts with the awesome artsy papers, then I placed the funny lady, the elements and the wa
