30 Minute Thursday Challenge #6

This week's challenge was to use:
1. Something that's been in your stash for a L-O-N-G time (special award to the oldest stash item used on a layout)

2. A wallet-sized photo (you can use more, but at least one photo of this size)

3. Your happy color!

My result...

The animal/insect stickers in the circle under the title are circa 1988.  They were part of my sticker collection from grade 6.  Probably not acid free but nothing a little Archival Mist can't neutralize.  

I had trouble deciding on my happiest, happy colour so I settled on using all 3...purple, blue and green :)

This was my first attempt at scanning and stitching my layout using PSE.  Thanks to a tutorial here.  I'd welcome any tips to get it looking a bit more seamless!  I couldn't figure out the eraser segment of the tutorial.

Lovely layout, I love the colors you chose! (Boy, those stickers are old!) Here is an easy to follow tutorial for scanning and stitching a 12x12 layout: http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/mag/article.ihtml?index_field=1958

Love the lo - the stitching looks great. I scan my lo's 4 times and then stitch them all together. PAIN. in. the you-know-what. But otherwise you can't see as much detail. Great job!
