Photos are from 2008, before I even knew anything about the wonderful world of acherryontop. At that time I didn't have PhotoShop on my computer. If you can believe it--I used MSWord to create digital collages, very simple, of course, but it got me started. Shortly thereafter I joined ACOT and subsequently acquired PhotoShop7 for Teachers.
Last week I was rummaging in a closet and found an album with some of those early .doc creations. This set of pics called out to me to do something more with them. I located them in the 2008 photos folder on my EHD and went to work. I used a background watercolor paper (Dawn Inskip) recolored, as a textured paper and as an overlay on top of some of the layers; the glass beads are from a nautical themed kit by HotFlash Designs; word art strips are by Kim Jensen; lines for journal spot by D Inskip; ship steering wheel found in online search and adapted for the collage. I'll edit this post with font information when I figure out what I used.
