Learning New Things

I've been trying to learn new things in my digital scrapping. I want some of my pages to have a more artsy feel to them rather than just pictures on a background. So in this layout I have used different blending modes to make the red paper show through the photos, that is why they are all tinited and you can see some of the writing in the lighter photos. Something fun to try...I'm not always successful with these techniques, sometimes you win and sometimes you loose right.
I have a breast infection, ugh. It's not going away so I will have to go to the doctor tomorrow and get some antibiotics. I've been using a wheat bag to heat the area and try and unplug the milk duct and apparently the dust off of the wheat bag has done bad things to Darrel and Jack. Darrel is stuffed up and sneezing and Jack has a rash all around his eyes. poor guys! So out goes the wheat bag!
The weather has been great the past couple of days, +6C and +3C, after Tuesday's huge snowfall it is quite welcome!
