Thanks to Andrea and her wonderful link to 'aging' a photo, I now understand what this challenge is all about. So, I went back to my original page and pulled the photo out and gave it a 'vintage' look. I turned it to sepia color, then ran the texturizer on it twice to give it an older look. So, this is what it looks like now:



Compare that to the first page and you can really see the difference:



I love the first page's photo in black and white as it fits so well with the colors in some of the elements. But, to really meet the goal of this challenge, the second one done is sepia is the correct technique to use. Now... I am LOL as I realized as I previewed this post how well the sepia one picked up the browns in the page.... I will remember this trick next time I need a 'vintage' photo from a modern one. Thanks all.
