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:

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'!

NEW Freebie!

Wow! I'm exhausted. The new schedule must be catching up with me. I've been trying to squeeze in time for scrapping... and time for freebies! Introducing Spot Dots Mini Paper Pack freebie. This has a soft yet vibrant feel, full of texture and slightly off-balanced shapes.

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...

Mini Polka Dots!

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!

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!

Okay, Hi again. I'm working on a series of templates; here is the first one. I hope you will use it; it has five available spaces for photos or journaling and each space has an optional thin white outline ( that you could re-color! ). And, keeping with the Boys Rock theme, I added a couple accent stars. This has so many posibilities: girls rock, boys rock, nautical, camping under the stars, your little star on stage, etc.. Please let me know what you think. Email me, I'd love to see how you use it!
