This is probably one of the most distressed pages I have ever made! LOL

A couple of challenges here:
Journaling Junkie Challenge 85, http://journalingjunkie.blogspot.com
Use Your Supplies, Week 4 with a twist to distress the photo. I frayed the edges and then inked them pink. I had to have 5 total distress techniques. I frayed (1), inked (2), distress stitched (3), distress Stickled (4), crumpled (5), pulled away parts of the Prima flourish (6), and curled the corners of the white embossed paper(7).
This is also week 1 for the monthly sketch challenge, with the twist. The title is from Offspring's Bad Habit, which fit, although their song was about road rage. lol.

The page initially started out clean and beautifully embellished, but I figured halfway through the design that nail biting isn't pretty and makes your hands and fingers look terrible, so I wanted my page to reflect that. :)

The photo is a PhotoShop edit by me. I selected my pretty pink fingernails (painted just for the photo, of course. I've already chewed it off, though the fingernail length is still there), copied the layer, then ran CoffeeShop Photography's Chocolate B/W on the original layer. After that, I took the selection and reversed it then cleared that selection, leaving only the pink fingernails on the top layer. Then I flattened the image before printing. :)
