Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone. Thanks for stopping by. I'm sorry I have been neglecting my blog. I've taken on the yearbook at my daughter's elementary school. This will be the 1st year they've gone digital. We are having a lot of fun exploring our new layout options. However... I've really missed my blog! So, please check back in December; I am planning 12 days of Christmas freebies. I've got some new software that I'm anxious to play with, too. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving; Blessings to all!

Be back soon...

Hi there. It's been a while since my last post... just wanted to let everyone know, I'll be back soon! KIT Shelley

NEW Borders Freebie!

Back, again. Hello! I love Autumn in Michigan, it just feels good. The leaves are changing colors and the windows are open letting in the cool breeze. I 've been crazy busy this week, but I had to scrap a page of 'Lil Big Guy in his cubbie at school. He is so proud to finally be old enough to start preschool, and every aspect of it is a huge deal. He wants to be the big boy who can take care of all of his own needs; it's so CUTE! (and so time consuming!!) Here he is at his cubbie. Click the image to enlarge it if you would like to read the journaling.



For this page I used my latest freebies: Leaves Mini Paper pack Vol.2, and Inked Edge Borders Vol.1 { 2 of the 3 freebies posted today on my blog; be sure to grab all 3 download links! }. I also used: In The Breeze Brushes, Clipped Stacks No.2, Tailed Journalers ~ all Katie pertiet; Stitched By Anna ~ Anna Aspnes; Staple Its 2 ~ Pattie Knox (all available @ designerdigitals.com).
I love the soft feel of this page. It captures my son's 3 year old way of thinking while he guards the border of HIS cubbie.

Here is the New borders freebie! Please check today's previous posts for links to freebies: Inked Edge Frames Vol.2 and Leaves Mini Paper Pack Vol.2

New Leaves Papers!

Hi Everyone. After a little break, I am back with a great new freebie and a couple scrappages. I love Autumn and Fall inspired digital papers. My new freebie is designed to compliment all your Fall photos. Leaves Mini Paper Pack consists of 7 papers {1 collage, 2 leaf patterns, 2 check patterns and 2 textured solids}. I love the rich colors and mild distress. Mix & match papers to create layouts for class fieldtrips, raking leaves, and family outings to the cider mill, pumpkin patch, etc.

Here is my first Fall layout:
{click on image to enlarge}


This page shows my little ones on the morning of their 3rd day of school. I had to capture the sweet looks of innocence they showered me with when I came outside to drive them to school. The papers used are from my Leaves Mini PP and the notebook pages, frames, twine wrap and tag are elements I've purchased {by Katie Pertiet @ designerdigitals.com}. The wordart is by Ali Edwards and the staples are by Pattie Knox {also @ designerdigitals.com}. I blended the background papers easily by using the eraser tool. I chose a soft brush sized around 1050px. The soft edge produced a nice fade, allowing the grid paper to peek through.

Here is my second Fall layout:


This is a page focusing on Popstar's first homework assignment for 1st grade. She is a strong student and I wanted to acknowledge her efforts. My kids love to see pages devoted to them individually. For this page, I selected the collage paper from my Leaves Mini PP (freebie!). As you know, I have an obsession with clipping masks. They can be used in so many ways. Here I used a Hipster Plumes FotoBlendz Clipping Mask {Anna Aspnes @ DD}. It is the perfect underlay for the frames, tag and journaling strips {Katie Pertiet @ DD}. I double-clicked on the foreground chip and changed my color to match the beige of the frame card. Then I created a blank layer above the clipping mask and filled it with the new foreground color. I clipped this layer to the mask and changed the layering setting to darken and lowered the opacity to approx. 92%. To get the get the realism of the journaling strip overlapping the card, I selected the journaling strip in the layers pallet and then used the burn tool to follow the card edge.

Are you ready for the freebie?!
It consists of 7 full size {12x12 @ 300ppi} digital papers in jpeg format. Let's get scrappin'!

Princess' 1st Day...

Hi everyone. So far, so good. All my little ones seem to be pleased with their new teachers, etc. Well, mostly. Princess and Lil' Big Guy are expected to nap while they are at preschool. Princess insists this is unnecessary, but I'm kind of liking it. Here is my scrappage of Princess' first day...



She kept a brave face, but there were a few tears when it was time for me to leave. For this page, I used a digital paper from my latest freebie {Spot Dots Mini Paper pack} and layered up with a Fab Fall Photo Mask under a stacked photo Frame and Curled Note Strip {all by Katie Pertiet @ designerdigitals.com} I added my photos and journaling, and tacked everything in place with a few staples from my favorite staple collection, Staple Its No.2 {Pattie Knox @ designerdigitals.com}. The background paper has a muted center, which is great for keeping a busy paper from becoming to overpowering. I changed the layer setting of the mask to linear burn @ 80% opacity to give the frames a pop, yet still allow the background to peek through. I'm working on 'Lil Big Guy's 1st day; I'll post it soon.
Happy {digi} scrappin'... Shelley

School has begun...

Wow! This week is going by quick. Hi everyone. All the kids are back in school & we're adjusting to new schedules and responsibilities. I've taken a lot of pictures and this morning I scrapped my first school page. It was quick & easy; no distractions! :)



For this design, I recolored paper from my Flutterfly PP Vol.3 to compliment my photos (In PSE4, I like to use the slider for color found in the hue and saturation menu; this changes the hues while preserving the range of colors; to get a monochromatic look, check the box in the lower right corner of the menu box. Note: the monochromatic color will be based on the color you currently have selected as your color option on top; this is displayed on the lower left side of your screen.). I created a couple inked frames & inked corners; should I post an inked corners freebie? I wanted an accent that reflected things my kids associate with school, so I designed a bit of wordart. A tip for recoloring that I like to use is the layer setting: multiply. I like to duplicate the layer and then apply multiply to the duplicate (I also play around with the opacity). I'll post more pages as I build them... and watch for more freebies! { If there are any freebies you missed, please download them now; Monday many of my current freebie links will expire. }
Happy scrapping... Shelley

NEW Freebie Paper Pack...

Hi there. Happy Labor Day. I must be ready for Autumn; I've been doing some seasonal cleaning and that includes closets. I've started listing Princess' previous Fall wardrobe on Ebay; check out the sidebar for links to my listings. A lot of girls size 3, but I'll be adding some girls 5 & toddler boys. Okay, back to scrapping... and freebies. I've really been having fun with clipping masks and blending; it is a favorite technique of mine. Flutterfly Paper Pack Vol.3 Freebie is a set of 4 digital papers that I created by clipping and blending together papers from Vol.1 & Vol.2; I love the peaches and pinks together; I guess I'm a girly girl at heart...

Using the clipping mask... Attit[u]de

Hi there! I wanted to share this scrappage of my Princess with Popstar & 'Lil Big Guy. Princess is so dramatic; so 4. I wanted to remember some of her classic expressions; Attit[u]de. Check it out...
{you can click on the image to see it enlarged!}


I used papers from the Flutterfly PP Vol.1, which I recolored to match the blue in Princess' dress, and I combined frames from the original Inked Edge Frames and Flutterfly Inked Edge Frames. I used the Flutterfly Clipping Mask No.1 to create a background photo that sets off the framed photos and ties the page together nicely. {All freebies still available here @ shelley camp designs!} I also want to point out the font; ss play. It is a download freebie @ simplescrapbooksmag.com for sept/oct. Look for it in the digital magazine under freebies, under downloads. I love great fonts!

Flutterfly Clipping Mask Freebie!

Hi, again. Here it is: Flutterfly Clipping Mask No.1! This freebie is great for clipping a photo or stamped as a journaling block. Try duplicating clipped layers of digital paper and applying different layer settings to each to create custom paper. In PSE4, layer a photo (or paper) directly over the clipping mask layer. Now, with the photo layer selected in the layers pallet, hold Ctrl key and click the g key; this clips the photo. Hold Ctrl key and click e key to merge layers. Experiment & have fun!

Meet-the-Teach[her]!

My Popstar is starting 1st grade this year, and Wednesday we went over and met her new teacher ( we actually already knew her & love her!). Popstar was so excited; she's been waiting all Summer to get back to school. I'm a little disappointed in the quality of my pictures; I guess my lens is dirty. But I couldn't let a little blur deny us a great memory in the 2008 scrapbook, so I pretended the pictures were perfect and started scrapping...



For this scrappage, I used papers from Flutterfly Paper Packs (Vol.1 & Vol.2) because the butterflies reminded me of the background brushes accenting Popstar's cherished Hannah Montana posters, Flutterfly Inked Edge Frames, and my original Inked Edge Frames. {All still available freebies here on my blog!} I Blended the peach paper over the Pink print using a clipping mask (FotoBlendz Clipping Masks No.6 ~ Anna Aspnes). I love clipping masks; don't be too surprised if I design a few of my own soon! The journaling points out Popstar's Hannah Montana bookbag and her prized "high-heeled" flip-flops, her awesome new teacher, and her obsession with the classroom couch. I wish the photos were crisper; I'll probably still play with them a bit. I thought the title, Meet the teach[her], was cute; not sure what I will come up with for my son (he starts preschool next week!). Have a great weekend!

NEW Freebie Frames!

Hi everyone. What a busy week; with back-to-school less than a week away, and the holiday weekend rapidly approaching, there's plenty to attend to. I needed a break... NEW freebie! I recently received a request for inked frames that had a thick enough border to easily layer over a photo. I jumped to it and created the Inked Edge Frames freebie. It has 8 different frames, each style in the original form, and then in a thin-edged version & a thick-edged version. These are easily recolored and look great behind photos as well as layered over them. Try off-setting them, or layer one behind a group of photos & page elements. We have Meet-the-Teacher today; I'll post a scrappage soon using these new frames. As always I'd love to see how you use them; Email me!

Fun with brushes...

Hi everyone. Today is too beautiful out to spend time indoors, but it's naptime for the little ones so I had some fun doing some blending. I love brushes; they are great for creating interesting backgrounds. I created this paper by turning a photo of one of the birdhouses in our yard into a brush of circles. I layered it many times changing the opacity, and created the {wonder}ful wordart. Now I have personalized my paper to really reflect the natural beauty of my back yard. I wanted to showcase a few photos I took with my kids, so I added a stacked photo cluster and tailed journaler (both by Katie Pertiet). When Popstar & Princess saw this page, they imediately began retelling their adventures. I feel so blessed... I love my family!



Okay, I'm heading back outside.
More tomorrow... Shelley

Out of the Box...

Hello. Today I remind myself that this blog is a record of my journey to enhance my skills and improve my technique. With that in mind, I tried to step outside of my usual, and try something new. We bought a little big pool for the kids (30 inches deep, 16 feet across) late in the summer. They love it, and even though none of our children could swim before, Popstar and Princess are now cruising around like little fishies! Great investment; much cheaper than swim lessons. So, we buy the pool and fill it with 800 gallons of water. DH puts in the chemicals... instant orange water! Apparently the metals in our water oxidized; rust. The water is actually clear now, but the bottom of the pool isn't quite right, hence the odd color of the water in my pic. Check it out...



So, I was going to digitally fix the water in the photo, but that distorts the memory. Instead I decided to create a Freebie! Out-of-the-Box Mini Paper Pack Freebie consists of 8 digital papers in royal blues and pear greens. It works well with what I had in mind for this memory; I kept the layout simple, highlighting the photo with a splashy underlay (Grunged Up Photo Blocks by Katie Pertiet), adjusting the layer style to soft light and multiplying a few times. The word play down the side seemed to say it all. This freebie Paper Pack has a clean fresh design with minimal texture on the solids. Wouldn't the green be great for a trip to the cider mill? I think I'm planning a trip!

Tea Time!

Another beautiful day, after a soothing night of thunder storms. We worked in the garden a bit, and we had to swim (that's what my kids said, anyway!). And finally, I found some time to play around with some scrapping. Isn't this page cute.

Bug-a-boo just had her first birthday; we had a tea party to celebrate. {the journaling reads: The perfect 1st birthday for me? Ladybugs & Bumblebees together for tea! Mini cupcakes, trinkets & gifts galore... who could ask for anything more!} It was adorable, and so much fun! To build this page, I selected a background paper (from my Bloom Mini Polka Dot Mega Paper Pack Freebie) and then added a stamped edge overlay (created with the floral brush from my Bloom Mini Page Kit Freebie). I added frames, photos, shadows, and highlights (Stacked Photo Clusters No.2, Ledger Grids both by Katie Pertiet @ designerdigitals.com). And accented with a few word strips (Bloom Mini Cut-Ups Freebie). I'm tossing around a couple more additions for the Bloom collection; I can't wait to post them.
More soon... Shelley

Cut-Ups are here!

Hi, again. Just wanted to toss these at you. They are flat cut-ups that you can use to embellish a photo or frame. I left off the shadows, so you can add your own (or just leave them flat). You could also bevel them into chip board, or add an outline and create a sticker. Cut-Ups are in png format; you simply select, copy, paste!
( the background paper is from the Bloom Mini Page Kit freebie; check out the entire Bloom collection, search by label: bloom) These are designed to be used with the Bloom collection; of course you could use them to compliment so much more! And yes, they are a freebie!

Hi everyone. I don't know where you are at... but here in Michigan, it's HOT! We've spent much of the day by the pool, but I couldn't wait to post an addition to the NEW Bloom freebie collection. I've always been partial to polka dots; they are so sweet! This mega paper pack freebie is loaded with mini polka dots in shades of pinks and yellows, distressed just a touch, but still full of warmth! I love how these came out. I hope you like them, too!

Bloom Add-On Freebie!

Quick, huh?! Here's the NEW Bloom Add-On Mini Kit Freebie. It has 3 full sets of digital photo corners in pink, green & yellow. I kept them simple; you may distress them if you prefer. I also had some fun creating a floral brush that would be beautiful stamped lightly behind journaling, or accenting a photo or two. Finally, I created a puffy sticker using the photo I took of my flowers (the same one I used to create the brush). Experimenting (and often doing things the longest way possible!) is how I learn. If you ever have a suggestion or helpful hint, please Email me; I'd love to hear from you.

Clipping masks...

Good morning! A couple posts back I mentioned clipping masks. Here's a scrappage I created using my Boys Rock Layered Template [freebie] No.4 and a paper (that I recolored) from my Lilac Sea [freebie] Paper Pack. I turned the entire template side ways, and then merged all the blocks on the left side of the template (not the frames!). Next, I layered a photo of my cousin's beautiful daughter over the merged blocks, and clipped. It's a nice variation to the typical photo block. I added a couple ties (Jennifer Adams Donnelly, designerdigitals.com) to secure the stars around "daddy's girl" and filled in the remaining spaces with another photo and more recolored paper. Jazzed up the stars and title... done! Quick and easy. Try using the burn tool in the corners of your photos; this adds a little "pop" to your subject.

More pages soon... Shelley

What's the date?

Hi Everyone. Busy, busy! I am having so much fun. Here is my first set of digital date stamps. Each month is saved as it's own png file for easy selection. Color them! Shadow them! Bevel them! Fade them! Distress them! They are designed to compliment the Boys Rock collection, but their possibilities are endless. Sports, holidays, performances, school, etc.

Freebie BRLT No.4!

Here it is, Number 4 in the series of Boys Rock Layered Templates! Hi, again. This is the companion to BRLT No.3 (posted earlier today). Photo/journaling blocks and frames/outlines are all separate layers, so you can take 'em or leave 'em. The stars can be jazzed up or replaced with any element (or, left the way they are!). Try filling in different prints and solid papers in the spaces that together look like stripes, or group them together and use as a clipping mask for a photo (for example, take the upper 4 stripes, merge them together by highlighting them and right clicking for the menu that will offer the merge layers option, next layer a photo directly over the new merged layer, and clip. To clip in PSE4, you would make sure the photo layer is selected, and then hit the g key while holding down the Ctrl key; this will clip any layer to the layer directly below it ( layer must be visible). Now hit the e key while holding the Ctrl key; this combines the photo layer and the stripes layer.). Experiment & have fun!

Yay! People are finding my blog. Thank you everyone for spreading the word. Okay, down to business... New freebie! I mentioned earlier that these papers ( Peach Butter Floral Paper Pack Freebie ) recolor beautifully. I love aqua and purple; these would be great for spring occasions ( Easter! ). You can recolor any of the Peach Butter collection by making adjustments in the hue and saturation. In PSE4, you click the drop down menu for Settings, and click on Adjust Color, and then Hue and Saturation. At this point you simply adjust the sliders until you get a pleasing result; I used +180, -35, +5, read from top to bottom.

Still learning...

Hello. I have a new freebie! I started designing this one with my son in mind; he loves zoom zooms. So I started with the checkered paper and spun off from there. I wasn't going to post this kit until I actually got to use it, but I'm still trying to get the various search engines to find my freebies. I've read a lot of confusing technical jargon and walked away with the impression that more posts equal more chances of being found. If you've stumbled upon me, please please please send some friends my way. Thank you! The kit consists of 6 designer papers and 2 overlays. I'm working on some elements; Keep in touch! Please enjoy and leave me a little love; I'm feeling like a microscopic fishie in a very big sea!

Hi Everyone, welcome to my blog and my very first post! This is all new to me, so it may take a few posts to get the swing of things. I started digital scrapping in March of 2007, after finding traditional scrapping too space (and time!) consuming. There were just too many little fingers desperate for my supplies. When I discovered digital scrapping, I was an instant addict! I plan to use this blog to post layouts, share great finds, and create some freebies. Thanks for stopping by... Shelley
