SS#??? lol

Yep another speed scrap! lol Sometimes you do these and aren't totally loving the LO (which I am not sure if I do with this one), but typically you at least LEARN something new, OR end up thinking outside the box on how to make a LO. So with that said I have seen the black and white photos with just one thing colored on it, but I didn't know how and had never taken the time to find out. This speed scrap forced me to learn and in a hurry and let me tell you this was an awesome and easy tutorial! :-) Glad I participated in this one (even if I don't totally love it.)

So here are the steps:
1. Choose two patterned papers and one solid paper. Place the solid paper as your background.
2. Choose one photo. We are gonna do selective coloring on this photo (if you are not sure how to do this, then visit this tutorial: http://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/photography/articles/9796.aspx). Choose the part of the photo you want to leave colored and then turn the rest of the photo black and white (feel free to play with blending modes and filters and whatnot to spice up the black and white).
3. Shape the patterned papers into ONE CIRCLE and ONE SQUARE or RECTANGLE and place them on your layout in a position where they are touching in some way.
4. Once you have your photo just the way you like it, duplicate it at LEAST ONCE (feel free to duplicate it as many times as you like). Then place the photo's on your layout (these can be touching or not, your choice).
5. Use any elements you want to frame at least one of your photos. You can use anything but a frame. It doesn’t have to be all the way around the photo(s) but at least on TWO sides.
6. Add five elements to your page, but make sure one is at least partway behind the circle. You may duplicate those five elements as many times as you like.
7. Title your layout using ONE word (or name). Add journaling and date if you like.
