Blue-Eyed Boy - Visitor's Baby Scrapbooking Layout

I took about 20-30 pictures of my almost 5 month old yesterday. The lighting wasn't all that great so I turned most of them into black and whites, using Paint Shop Pro 8.

I LOVED the look but missed seeing those blue, blue eyes. I decided to try (for the first time) to add back some color to the b&w's. I gave back his blue eyes to the background photo.

His eyes are such a bright blue that it looked a little scary so I decided to soften the picture and then got the idea to use it as a background for some of the other photos. I had a ribbon that was *almost* the same color as his eyes so I tweaked the color a bit to make it match.

I added his name and the month and year the photos were taken. Simple!! I love it!!
