Mad Lib projects

At the beginning of my first of three projects from my mad lib, I placed a photo of mountains and a sunflower. My mad lib for the first project said "flowers___________( noun) __moving________(verb) ___mountains_____________(noun) in/on a/the __sky__________(noun)." 
Here, I added a layer mask to try and make the mountains and flower more natural looking. Then I tried to make the flower look more like it was moving the mountains but, couldn't figure out how to. 
Here, I changed the brush colors and opacities to make it more natural since, it still looked fake to me. I thought the mountains were looking a lot better except the sunflower looked like it was floating in space.
Now, I figured out how to finally get the sun flower to look more natural, I moved the layers to where the sunflower was behind the mountains again and changed the layer type from normal to kind. I also removed some of one of my mountain layers, by adding a layer mask and using the brush tool so that it looked more natural. This looked a lot better to me and I felt more confident in my work. I also added arms that look like they are connected to the sunflower moving the mountains since, I needed to incorporate the part of my mad lib "moving mountains."
Finally, to complete this part of my project, I added a rock photo that I converted to a brush and made it look like the mountains were really moving and pushing up rocks, from the force of the arms of the sunflower. I think this project really shows mountains being moved by flowers in the sky, which I tried to show.
The second part of my project, on the mad lib was "One piece is going to have _running___________(verb)    ___dogs___________(s) (noun) using computers______(technology)  in/on a/the __park______________(noun)." So, first I placed a picture of a park and changed it into a brush. I experimented with different colors to use for the park color and decided to do black and green color layers. Then, I used the brush tool and made the ground of the park more festive.
Here, I had to incororate the "dogs using computers" but, I decided to add a spin to it. I placed a human and a dog. I cut out the humans head and placed the dogs head on it. I thought it would enhance my project, so it was not just a dog running. I then, placed the computer and distorted it to where it looked like the human was really holding it.
To complete the project, I took both the human layer, the dog face layer, and the computer layer and merged them all. I then, changed the layer into a brush and turned the photo layer off so that it was not visible anymore. Then, I changed the photos effect from normal to kind and subtract, which made the human-dogface-compter brush look and fit the project a lot better. Then I placed many of them and changed their sizes, so that there were lots of them covering the park. 
For the third project of my mad lib I did "
__pink____________(adjective) __fish__________(noun) __wearing__________(verb) __t-shirts_______(noun) by/on  the ___ocean____________(noun)." I thought this idea would be tough to incorporate in my project and a little boring so, I decided to change it up. 
I changed the project to pigs wearing crowns in the ocean. First, I placed a photo of the ocean and changed it to a brush. Then, I pasted photos of different pigs and converted them to brushes and changed their colors to make the pigs stand out. Then ,I placed a crown photo and converted it to a brush, as well. Then I placed the crowns on the pigs and changed their colors. This is the final piece of my third project of my mad lib.
