    this one was hard!
    first, because I don't label things by colors; second because I had to figure out how to recolor elements. lol.
    I'm not sure how I feel about the page, though I do admit it was fun to see how to recolor. could come in handy!

    Not sure what program you use... if you use photoshop all you need to do is add a later adjustment.. either the B/W, or hue adjustment and moved the slider on the saturation all the way to the left to desaturate the item, or you can even use a gradient map adjustment and choose the b/w gradient... you can also go to the top bar and choose Image > Adjustments > and choose desaturate. There are so many ways to do this. If you are using PSE, very similar ways to do it also .

    thank you. I use Artisan. I'm sure there's a way, I've just never done it before!

    I had a hard time with this! I love color so leaving out all the bright pretties was *sniff* difficult. And I agonized over everything. But I really like how my page turned out. Thanks for the challenge!

    Ruthanne, so sorry you had a hard time with it, but it really turned out to be a beauty. For me I find b/w with the one pop of color to draw focus on what the page is about. The G Clef, I immediately see MUSIC.. then I look around and everything else you added to the page including the beautiful photo all expresses that so it did what I was hoping :) a beautiful page drawing focus to the core of the page :) mine was based on England and my traveling to the UK.. just by looking at the page the first focus is the Union Jack flag = UK/England then you look at the rest of the page. You did that with your Music inspired page and did it well!
