OMG... I had so much fun playing with all the goodies in this kit.... I am not much for AJ, and this leans in that direction... It was fun seeing how Rachel makes her supplies... I have a new awareness, and respect for her designs... so many designers, just go get the CU things and put together kits to sell... Rachel is one of a handful who makes all her own products... Cool!!!!

So there was a little challenge posted, and I sincerely hoped to actually speed things up... Well, I extracted the full body photo because her brother was too close to easily get rid of.... and with the fly away hair, that took over an hour and then more time trying to add dimension to a rather flat image.. taken in the shade there was little contrast... Yeah.. I clocked 1 hour and 40minutes just on those 2 things ...then as I started putting it together , I thought.. Oh.. with the photos ready and the kit picked out, I can do this in 30 minutes!!! Well technically I did... but then spent another couple of hours trying other things, sorting through other kits, and shopping her store, to see if there were things I could use to enhance the page... I believe there is a total of 5-6 hours into this page, I lost track because my sessions were broken up...... that said.. I love it! and after all that is what really matters!!! right? OH Yeah... hard to tell that the image is actually extracted, since I put the background it was cut from back behind her.. sans brother! trust me. beautifully cleanly extracted, when I faster method would have worked in the end...

Wow you have been so busy!! I'm off to the gallery to comment :)
 
I was going to say Rachel is a new-to-me designer, but then I read she's Captivated Visions. OMG! I have a ton of CV stuff! Love the art journal style!
 
well, I just love how easy you can create artsy pages with Rachel's products! specially with her templates, like the one I used on this page:
