This is very creative. In your thread, you asked for suggestions for improvement. I would re-edit the photo to lighten it. The photo is too dark, at least on my monitor. His face, in particular, has a lot of shadow. I would edit the photo (increase the brightness, contrast and color balance) and make the picture larger. He is a little drawfed by the large letters and clouds.
This layout is a tribute to my nephew, Austin. His family has a lot of obstacles, my bother-in-law has a rare form of cancer. It is a hereditary strand. Austin will face many challenges and many unfortuante situations in his life, and he already has witnessed quite a few. This was a picture that I snapped while we were on vacation in Alabama. He was reaching up to touch a missile on one of the bomber planes. I thought the position he was in was too unique to put it in the trip album. I used Paint Shop Pro to digitally cut out the picture, then printed it and cut it out. The paper is “The Paper Studio”. I used my cricut and scal to print out the lettering. The rainbow was added as an after thought because on the papering I thought it looked funky with him pointing up at nothing. I found the poem off the Internet but saw no author listed. I used brads to attach the transparency to the pp, but plan on also using glue once I find a good one that will not affect the “transparency”. Please let me know what you think as I am very new to this(my second LO) Thanks for looking, God Bless.
I will reach for the sky, Though conditions speak otherwise! I will soar with the eagles! I will dance with the angels! The will sing with the Heavenly Choir! Because I believe that all things are possible!
I will dream the impossible, Though it seems that dreams fade with the sunset! I will walk on through impossibilities! I will climb the highest mountains! I will stand at the pinnacle of my life, Because the Almighty God walks with me!
I will be all I can be, Though it seems I may never rise again! I will soar the highest heights! I Will accomplish great and mighty things! I will shout victory in the face of defeat, Because my God is ever so present!
I will reach for the sky! I will touch the intangible, Though it seems out of reach! I will believe the impossible! I will dream the undreamable, Because all things are possible, With the Almighty God, Who stands ever so faithfully at my side!
