Directions for one technique I did on this layout:
Okay... so there’s a lot going on here, and much of the “fancy” stuff
was achieved through trial and error with the Blend Modes. The one
thing I was particularly happy about was the Measuring Tape Embellishment
(from the Again Collection Biggie) I placed along the right
side of the layout. It started out black with white markings, but after
I placed it in a layer over the paper from the Painted Moon Paper
Mini (which I had already altered by layering the ScrapSimple
Paper Templates: Ravishing over it and applying the "Luminosity"
Blend Mode), and applied the "Difference" Blend Mode. What I
ended up with was a clear measuring tape with what looks like metallic
or paua shell markings. VERY cool!

Software used: Adobe Photoshop CS2
Name of challenge: Traditions
Other Ingredients:
- Font - Porcelain
- Font - Papyrus
Directions for one technique I did on this layout:
I started with a snowy landscape photo and applied Shalae Tippetts'
Artsy Watercolor Template – Salt, setting the Blend Mode
to "Color Burn." I
then loaded the snowflake brushes and selected various colors from
the watercolor landscape that I thought would make good snowflake colors.
By setting the Brush Opacity from 30% to 50%, the result is a very
delicate looking snowflake. Vary the size and the placement of the
flakes as you go. I find it helpful to create a new layer for each
flake so they may be scaled, rotated or deleted as your layout progresses.
Have fun making your own snow storm!

Journaling:
Times have not always been easy for me and it is during these times
when I especially have my faith tested. I won’t say that it is
only during these times that I turn to God. Because it isn’t.
I thank Him and praise Him every day. But, it’s during the hard
times, when I must remember, that I am in His hands, that He will take
care of me, that He knows best.

A Designer's Life: Marnie
Adams
Fairy Tale – A True Story
In this fairy tale, our intrepid heroine, Marnie, takes a journey
across an ocean to visit with some of the amazing inhabitants of a
magical kingdom.
In this magical kingdom, there is always peace. The people
are always friendly and happy and supportive and kind. There are colors
and textures and pretties galore. New and creative thoughts are encouraged
and celebrated. There are many artists in residence, both professional
and hobbyists, who share the love of each other’s work in equal
measure. And, all the members of this near-perfect society meet and
communicate without ever seeing one another’s face – a
true virtual world.
At the end of Marnie’s travels, she arrives
at a gorgeous house deep in the woods, as in every good fairy tale.
She is greeted by the queen of this castle and welcomed by all who
are in attendance – nearly
twenty strong. Marnie is in awe of meeting each of these incredible
people. Everyone has talent oozing out of their fingertips and joy
radiating from their faces.
There are the illustrators and designers
and creators of beautiful things. There are the supporters and enablers
who are the true magic behind the kingdom. There are the communicators
and organizers that bring the games and activities to everyone. There
is the master artist, with years of knowledge and creativity beyond
compare. There is the storyteller and fearless leader (one and the
same) who had the vision and fortitude to bring the magical kingdom
to life.
During the four days at this beautiful castle, there are walks
in the forest with cameras in hand, computers lined up on every available
surface, video to enable those absent to join the festivities, and
endless hours of conversation, idea sharing and laughter – buckets
and loads of laughter.
On one special day, the storyteller leader gathers
everyone in a circle. She shares her tale of joy and wonderment that
the magical kingdom continues to grow and evolve in new and beautiful
directions. She shares the knowledge of their blessing, of being in
a bonded group of like-minded folks. And, she offers each of the attendees
a gift: a bracelet forged with magical phrases like “expect miracles.”
Marnie
is surprised to find the powerful word “imagine” on
her shiny new jewelry, for she has been told for years and years, by
teachers, family and friends alike, that she has unlimited imagination.
Marnie has already received the amazing opportunity to write for pleasure
and profit. The only other thing Marnie can “imagine” to
bring about her absolute dream come true, is to be able to draw for
a living as well. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. A mighty word indeed.
And,
to Marnie’s shock and amazement, the very next morning,
the master artist invited Marnie to use her illustrations for creating
pretty products. Imagine! After Marnie swallowed her tongue, she bowed
down and kissed the master artist’s feet. (Oh, wait, maybe she
just thanked her profusely.)
At the end of the four days, the group
dispersed across the land and Marnie returned to her island in the
sea.
Today, Marnie spends her days and evenings in her cheerful, little
life. She visits the magical kingdom often. She writes and draws and
plays and creates just like she dreamed she might do one day. Imagine.
And,
she continues to live happily ever after.
- Marnie
Favorite product I've designed:
Christmas Eve Collection Mini
My very first collection – yippee for me! I was so excited to
have the opportunity to make this and had so much fun drawing all of
the little parts. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Scrap Girls Club Concepts
The Scrap Girls Monthly Club allows you to get all of the newest looks
while saving money! It is perfect for anyone who wants beautiful, coordinated
digital scrapbooking supplies that are easy to use. You get all the
products shown above, a $29.33 value, for $9.99 or less! Plus, each
month we will help you find new ways to use your club contents to the
fullest with this article full of ideas, tips, and projects to get
your creativity going!
February’s Scrap
Girls Club’s featured designer is Syndee Nuckles.
Her club is full of rich, provincial colored and textured products
that can help you get creative in amazing ways. Let’s look
a little closer and see what ideas we can come up with for this club.
Layout ideas:
- The color palette is good for 1930s-40s black and whites
- Use the embroidered flowers for floral garden photos
- Travel
- Fall
- Victorian
Christmas
- Picnics
- Romantic outings
- Layouts related to eating
- My first garden
- Use the green and yellow papers for springtime layouts
- Layouts about "Dressing Up
in Mommy's Pearls" with the pearl embellishments
- You can use the Notable Word Art, and specifically the Who,
What, When to make a cool western layout. Perhaps even a "Wanted:
Dead or Alive" type layout.
- The alpha with the little notebook
papers would make a great school-themed layout,
especially college.
- The bush from the Embellishment Mini would work well for things
like Renaissance fairs.
- The word art "Art is the only way...." can be used for layouts
of kids doing art projects
- Make a "Happiness is..." album that shows favorite things
your family likes to do together.
Layout by Amy Lemaniak
larger
view
Embellishment ideas:
- Use the scalloped papers as photo mattes, page borders or journaling
boxes.
- You can also use the scalloped papers as a background for a recipe
page. They look an awful lot like table cloths.
- The stapled ribbons in the embellishments can be repeated around
the edge of a photo to create a unique photo frame. This would look
really nice on a vintage-themed layout!
- Use the bracket paper from the Paper Mini to make a title or cover
page for your album.
Layout by Carla Shute

Printable project ideas:
- Use the kit to decorate a clock face.
- Create Christmas decorations: ornaments, chains for
the Christmas tree, placemats, gift wrap, gift
bags, etc.
- Garden signs
- Create napkin rings out of background paper strips
and adhere a flower where the ends of the paper are joined.
- Altered
wall plaque
- Pen/pencil holders
- Make a name placard for a girl's bedroom door
Project by Christy VanderWall
larger
view
- Decoupage papers onto a frame for a shadow box
- Create a centerpiece made
of paper posies. Use circles centered with the flowers and buttons
tied with string.
- Use Mod Podge on a wooden container to create a gardening
tote for someone.
- Print out these papers and cover file folders to have a color-coordinated,
sophisticated office!
- This kit is versatile enough to work year
round, so it would be great for a calendar or yearly planner.
Project by Angela Nussbaum
larger
view
Card ideas:
- Thank You Cards - Print the flowers, cut them out, attach them
with wire for stems and add "Thanks a bunch!"
- Garden themed
party invitations can use the "Who", "Where" and "When" word art.
- Ladies'
luncheon invitations
- Use the curled edge paper to make a treasure
map for invitations to a treasure or scavenger
hunt.
- Wine tasting party invitations

I know you want to play, so here is how you

3rd to sign up for the first round of Bingo! Any e-mails received
after that will be included in the next round of Bingo. I cannot

register for each round of Bingo once you are playing. Your card
is good through all the rounds. (You will receive a response

mistakes that digital scrapbookers make when they create
layouts.
- Learn fantastic tricks for using Scrap
Girls ScrapSimple products.

some of those "other" cool tools that are sitting there
waiting in your software for you to use such as paths,
masks, the drawing pen, and more.

new Custom Shapes and Styles in Photoshop so that you
can make things that are creative and unique.

that you already know and love.

get a chance to peek inside of my layers. (Oh dear...
That is the last frontier and I might be out of my mind
to let you do it... NOBODY likes people to see inside
of their layers. It is like having visitors peek inside
of your dresser drawers. Very private stuff.)
- See a new way for coloring doodles. (I'm
betting that it will surprise you what tool I've used
to do that with, too...)

(You do NOT have to have those impossibly long brush sets

along.)

to you. (Bet you didn't know...)
- Learn how to cut out a title from a background
or a photo.

tutorials. If you get this training and you have never used
Photoshop before or if you aren't pretty sure of yourself
in the software, you are going to be lost. You simply have
to understand layers, where things are located, and all of
the basic, important skills that Ro teaches in her Scrapbook
Software Secrets Revealed series before you try
to use it. |

Ro personally uses Carbonite to
back up her computer. While it won't backup external hard-drives,
it is a fabulous solution for keeping all of your important
documents on your C:/ drive safe and your backups completely
up-to-date at all times. Using it has made her stop worrying
about losing important business and financial files, because
the backup happens without Ro having to do a single thing.

Hard drives do fail. Don't think
they won't and that you will escape from it happening to you
forever. Just get a plan for managing what will happen someday
and save yourself a lot of pain, sweat, agony and tears.
You need several methods of
backing up in case one of them fail. Acronis True
Image 11.0
is Ro's personal choice for creating a complete back up (software,
operating system, settings... you name it) of her hard drives.
It is easy to use (no excess geek speak) which is why she
is recommending it to you.
