I absolutely LOVE how you did this! My sister and I took a trip to see family in three states out West. Wish I knew how to create a story like this using photos from OUR trip! Did you use photos, or digital images of actual photos?
ReplyDeleteHi, I used my own photos and inserted photos of my dolls into them. I use a photo editor called "Photoscpae X Pro". This is available online. I use the "cut out" function to cut out my doll images, then insert my doll images into actual photos of our trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed this doll journey!
Hugs
