Digital Scrapbook Page

Here is a digital scrapbook page for my great grandson's mini-album:

The Bear and title from Treasure Box Designs offered as a freebie on their Facebook last Thursday.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (the jpeg of the bear and title) cropped to separate the two jpeg pictures.

I first created my own pattern using files from the graphic file and than placed the two separated pieces onto the layout.  Inserted Barry's photo (at one year) and than typed in his name. (He was always nicknamed Bear from time that my granddaughter knew she was pregnant with him to now.)

I am relearning how to do 'actions' in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and to be honest it is not the easier thing to do right now.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and have a great week.

Easter Cards

Good morning friends.  I would like to showcase a couple Easter Cards I made recently.  The first Easter Card is for a child and some digital/cut file designers call this a 'shaplie card'.  What I did was created the front section first, using a background cut out of the bunny.  I used the boolean technique through Make the Cut software, but I do it differently than the tutorial I read way back when, but come up with the same style.  Than once this is done, I create the back of the card with mirror option and than weld the two together to come up with the card base.

The image itself is a cut file from misskatecuttables or Treasure Box Gems but I downloaded the eye files and placed where their eyes had been.  The mouth, I typed in the ), turning it upright to make the smile.  The nose is a heart I cut out with my cutting machines.

The inside of the card, I print and cut a bunny rabbit with Easter Eggs, and attached, as a border, to the bottom edge.  Stamped the sentiment using the Stampin' Up " Wacky Wishes'  stamp set.

This is a overlay from Creative Kuts that I got as a free file from Cheryl.  I cut the Cross base from gray card stock, the cross from taupe (?) card stock.  I had the flower in my stash so placed it n center of the cross.  Easter sentiment tag is print and cut and from Cricut Design Space.

That's about it for today.  Thank you for visiting with me today, and may you all have a blessed weekend.

Two digital scrapbook pages for great-grandson's book

 

The above layouts will be for my great-grandson, Barry Mathew, arriving in May, 2016 for his scrapbook pages.  They will be printed on 12x12 photo paper from a company I use for printing these (and possibly 8x8 photo paper as well for a second mini-album) and than adhered to white cardstock.  They will be introductory pages with the photos inserted in photo sleeves behind.

The Teddy Bear image is from Treasure Box Designs and the Owl perched on a limb is from Miss Kate Cuttables.  

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, I opened up each of the files and played around with the Out of Bound feature; and than added sentiment/titles to the pages.

I plan to create more pages like this for the scrapbook album(s) throughout the summer.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me today, and have a Blessed Sunday.
