Yesterday, we spent a lovely morning in Dulwich Park, somewhere we'd never been before. Gareth cycles through Dulwich every day on his way to work so he had seen the park and thought it looked worth a visit. Well, yesterday I learned how the other half live! The park is just incredible. I could write at length about all the wonderful facilities and what a lovely time we had - but suffice to say I fell in love! And wished we could afford to be Dulwich residents.
I took lots of photos there, mainly of the boys playing, but I really liked the ones I took of some huge flower heads that were full of fluffy seeds. So I thought I'd have a go at a simple digital page.
I just cropped the photo into a square and resized it to 6x6 inches in Photoshop Elements.
I then added the text.. although it took surprisingly AGES to get the font I wanted and the text where I wanted it.
Finally I added the frame - it is from a set by Carina Gardner which I downloaded from 2 Peas in a Bucket. It was originally black so I changed the colour to white.
It's not my very first attempt at digital scrapping, but it is the first I have finished and printed out. It's a steep learning curve though.. and even though I'm pleased with my effort I do feel it looks a bit, um, flat. So I won't be chucking out all my papers and embellies just yet!
