In Lesson 8, we learned to add text to a photo. I've done this before and really love the look of it...need to remember to do it more often to photos before I use them in layouts. I did find that this was a bit easier in Photoshop Elements than the version I have.
What I did (before and after shots below): First I cropped the photo to 4x6 and edited the coloring a bit (I actually just used the "auto levels" function - super easy). Then I added a texture - Jessica pointed us to some more free downloads in this lesson. The texture is what gives the edited photo a brown, warmer look. She also pointed us to a specific font to download and use (the thicker of the fonts on the photo). I opted to use another one for the word "and". Since my photo didn't have a lot of horizontal space, I rotated my words to run vertically (figured that one out all on my own - ain't I smart???). I really like how this turned out and might print it out for Spencer to keep in his room if he's intersted :)
If anyone is keeping count, the reason there was no post on Lesson 7 is because it was just a review quiz type thing.
