OK everyone- I am back from vacation and ready to scrap like crazy! I want to improve my skills. I love all the fabulous LO's using various amounts of blending. I am pretty good with doing montages/collages and using the Gaussian Blur in PS7 and PSCS (and elements also). However, I see wonderful blending in so many of your LO's that is much more sophisticated. So- can someone send me their favorite tips, or links to to tutorials? thanks!

I wouldn't call me the world's greatest blender by any means but one of my favourite things to do is to play with blend modes. In fact, I am so addicted to blend modes that I run through all of them just about any time I add a layer just to see what happens. If you click once in the blend mode dialog drop down in the layers palette, you can then use the scroll on your mouse to scroll through them all. You will quickly find your "favourites"--particular modes that are useful to your style. Mine are overlay, multiply, soft light and exclusion. The latter gives extreme returns, lol, while the former are "gentle".
