Directions for one technique I did on this layout:
There are so many
of the ScrapSimple Digital Layout Templates that I love, but I often
don’t have the quantity and/or size to fit them.
In cases like this, I use either paper pieces, embellishments or (even
better) JOURNALING to fill the blocks.

Name of layout: Daddy’s Girls
Software used: Adobe Photoshop CS2
Name of challenge: Creative Journaling
Directions for one technique I did on this layout:
To create a raised panel for the journaling, duplicate the background
paper, select the portion you want to remove with the Magnetic
Lasso Tool and Delete it. To create the raised effect select
Layer> Layer Style> Drop Shadow. Then use the Color
Picker to choose a realistic color from your layout for the shadow.
My shadow dimension settings are - Distance: 19, Spread: 11 and Size:
54. Now your panel looks like you have raised it with foam squares,
like on a paper layout.

A Designer's Life: Shalae Tippetts
Worth the Wait
When I graduated from high school, I knew I would go to college. But
in my mind, it was not necessarily to get a college degree so that
I could get my dream job. Nope. What I wanted to be most in life was
a mom and to do that, I needed a husband. I decided I would pursue
art in the meantime, hoping to find the man of my dreams.
Life does
not always happen the way you want it to. I graduated five years later.
I found a job, but soon realized that there was no one to date, let
alone that perfect someone. So I went and stayed with my parents for
the summer between jobs.
At the end of the summer, I was working a food
booth at our county fair and saw a young man. He had been a good friend
of my younger sister and was there taking tickets at the concert. My
thoughts were, “He’s
really good looking, too bad he’s younger than me and I’m
heading to Vegas.” That was it. I packed up and moved to Vegas.
I
was in Vegas for about a year. It was the most incredible year of my
life for my own personal growth. By the end of the year, despite the
hundreds of singles that were around, I realized Mr. Wonderful wasn’t
there either. I knew exactly what I wanted and he wasn’t
there. But, for once in my life, I was okay with that. I was okay with
whatever the Lord had in store for me. I was very happy and at peace
with where I was in life and life was very good.
One evening, there
was a Singles' activity at church. I was really fed up with the whole
dating game and had decided that there was no way I was going to go.
Forget it. The Lord didn’t think so... I
kept feeling this strong urge that I needed to go. I kept fighting
it in my head. “No! I don’t want to go!”
“You
need to go.”
“No! They’re just playing this stupid
matching game.”
“Go!”
So, with tears in my eyes,
frustrated and in a terrible mood, I went.
I walked in and sat down,
oblivious to anyone around me. Suddenly, someone behind me called out
my name. Turning, I found myself looking at the same young man I had
seen a year ago at the county fair. What? What in the world was he
doing in Vegas, let alone sitting here at the same Single Adult activity?
This city is huge. Then came my next impression... he is really
good looking and wow, look at those forearms. (He had his arm stretched
out across the back of some chairs and they definitely showed that
he grew up in a small town moving pipe and had learned to work.)
We
spent the next couple of hours talking. Nothing ever felt so good in
my life. I knew from that first night that he was the one that had
everything I wanted. From there, it was history. We hung out every
second, just talking and having fun. Finally, one night two weeks later,
he found out that another guy was chasing me. Hmmm... he realized
he had to act and asked if he could date me seriously. Finally!
Two
days later, I found him asking me the question, “Have you
ever wondered how things are going work at the end of the summer when
I head back to Utah and you stay here?”
Had I thought about it?
Of course, I had. I had since I first saw him, but I wasn’t going
to be the first to mention marriage here. I threw the question back
at him.
“Well, we could do it long distance.”
“Nope.”
“I could move here.”
“Nope.” He was supposed
to be at BYU.
“We could get married?” It sounded like that was the only
answer to me.
That was it. That was the right and only answer and our
lives have never been the same since.
He was everything that I had wanted
and, at the same time, everything I thought I didn’t want. The
Lord likes to throw those in sometimes. You see, I didn’t want
to marry anyone younger than me. (He’s
three years younger.) I didn’t want to marry someone that was from
my home town. (He lived ten minutes from where I grew up and he was my
sister’s good friend.) I didn’t want to marry someone that
was going through school. (I had already gone through five years myself
and had been working for two years. We have now gone through six more
years together and still have two more to go.) I never wanted to live
in Utah. (Six years later, we are still here.) But, despite my list of
things that I didn’t want (they really were unimportant), I got
everything I wanted and more. He was well worth the wait and I have never
been happier.

Shalae
My husband’s favorite product I've designed:
Cruising Collection
I designed this one just for my husband because he grew up loving
cars, motor bikes and snowmobiles. His dad taught him at a young age
how to fix them, and now he uses those same mechanical skills to tinker
with robotics.

Quote/Album idea:
Layout Artist Christy VanderWall wrote a poem celebrating her daughter
and created this amazing 4x6 album to go with it.
Each layout has two lines of her poem on it, and the result is a gorgeous
brag book that Regan loves!
In a far away place, in a little girl's dreams
There are fairies flitting
about the moonbeams.
The air there is sweet, like the smell of a rose
And everyone flies
with a twitch of their toes.
They laugh and they giggle, there is joy
all around
The love and the beauty are simply profound.
The little girl plays and
learns how to dance
While she's there with the fairies and still
has a chance.
Her heart is a-flutter, her mind is spellbound,
By the magical beauty
in this world she has found.
The morning is coming and the time has
drawn near,
The girl must awake from the fairy tale here.
As the little girl wakes,
her spirit is new
Her mind looks about for what's real and what's
true.
While there aren't any fairies flitting around,
The girl still sees
magic and hears joyous sound.
Her dreams have awakened her senses to
see,
That her world all around her is filled with beauty.

(Versions 6, 7, CS, CS2, CS3)
MORE
Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed! for Adobe Photoshop Elements
versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 & 6.0
It's time for you to stop playing
catch-up in Photoshop and start having a blast doing the more
advanced tricks that you see other people and professional digital
scrapbookers doing.
- Take the world's easiest shortcuts to
creating your own backgrounds, embellishments, and alphas.
- Make sure that you don't make the biggest
mistakes that digital scrapbookers make when they create layouts.
- Learn fantastic tricks for using Scrap
Girls ScrapSimple products.
- Dip your digital scrapbooking self into
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.
- See how easy it is to install and manage
new Custom Shapes and Styles in Photoshop so that you can make
things that are creative and unique.
- Learn advanced tricks for using tools that
you already know and love.
- Watch me make some beautiful papers and
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...)
- Get "IN" on creating your own brush sets.
(You do NOT have to have those impossibly long brush sets frustrating
you anymore. In fact, when you learn this trick, you will wonder
why you haven't been using it all along.)
- Find out why Custom Shapes are so important
to you. (Bet you didn't know...)
- Learn how to cut out a title from a background
or a photo.
- And even more...
Note: These are NOT beginning
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. |
