Two of my favorite things to do are take photographs and make digital layouts. In fact I am often torn when doing any activities or outdoor games as I love to play but I also want to be taking photos! This particular day I was photographing some friends who were doing a Triathlon. So when I saw the call for hobbies for your January issue I just had to apply!

1. First I chose my background paper and converted it to black and white adjusting the contrast to make it a little lighter.

2. I then worked with my photograph. I began by converting it to black and white. Then, using the filter gallery, I added the "ocean ripple" effect, adjusting the levels for the proper effect. 3. I cropped the photo and added the stroke effect in black to make a frame around the photo.
4. I then used my brush tool to add the letters for photo, and the type tool to write Photographer, positioning it on the side.
5. I added the frame element and cropped the white paper to fit under the frame.
6. Lastly, I added the text inside the frame.
My favorite hobbies are photography and scrapbooking. I went 100% digital a few years ago and LOVE IT! I am so passionate about creating lasting memories and feel very fortunate to be able to capture and create "life works."
