What was your inspiration for the layout’s theme or design?

Why, June’s BYOC kit over at The Lilypad. As soon as I saw it, I just knew it would be perfect for my pool pics. And had one already in mind!

What special techniques/actions/effects did you use if any in creating the layout?

I always LUV to play around with my papers and element’s colours by using my blending modes in PSE 4 – Overlay, Soft Light, and Vivid Light are my most used and then I like to tweak their opacity % till I get the colour/brightness I want.
