These little happy faces just make me happy…and he is SO proud when he draws them! I scanned a bunch of his drawings and turned them into a brush set - that's what I used on the journaling card. Seriously, what is cuter than smiling little heads with arms and legs projecting directly out of them :p I tried to emulate Cathy B's amazing masking tape backgrounds digitally here…and it's a little love letter to Tia's digital goodies as well :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;STEPS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Open a new 17“ x 11” canvas (I do all of my double page digital spreads on one canvas then crop for printing). Fill background with blue and texturize.&lt;br&gt;2. Open the masking tape element and layer on background until it's covered. Merge all of the layers and change to overlay mode.&lt;br&gt;3. Open painted masks brushes and stamp in red. Duplicate layer and rotate 180 degrees for opposite side.&lt;br&gt;4. Layer paper bag element over painted layer. Add photo and journaling dates on the bag.&lt;br&gt;5. Add 2 black and white photos on left hand page. Open photos mask template, resize to 4“ x 6” and use as a clipping mask for the color photo. Mat photo on white and add to right hand page.&lt;br&gt;6. Open index card element, place on layout and add journaling. Use brushes created from drawing to add figures in the lower right corner of the card.&lt;br&gt;7. Add staples and drop shadows as desired.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;CREDITS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;masking tape: Joined at the Hip&lt;br&gt;painted brush set: Matted&lt;br&gt;paper bag: Junk in the Trunk&lt;br&gt;photo mask: Template Crazy: the Sequel&lt;br&gt;staples and index card: Stuck on You&lt;br&gt;font: Melissa
