Cute Stuff

Computer scrapbook layout by Kara Swanson

“Fly” layout by Kara Swanson
larger view

Directions for one technique I did on this layout:

I loved the black paper in Brandy’s Planes, Trains and Automobiles Collection, but wanted to combine it with another paper that featured vintage airplanes. I placed the vintage airplane paper in the layer above the black paper and changed the Blend Mode to "Overlay." I dropped the Opacity down to about 40% so that the vintage planes are visible, but do not overpower the layout.

Software used: Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0

Name of challenge: Accomplishments

Other Ingredients:

Font - CK Ali’s Handwriting

“Easter Tulip” layout by Pat Bowman
larger view

Directions for one technique I did on this layout:

I created the flower garland with the Varaie Formae Dynamic Brush Set layer by layer. On the first layer I chose a dark green and used the leaf brush. Then on a layer above that one I chose a lighter green and made the brush smaller. Then I brushed on a pink layer of flowers topped by a yellow layer of smaller flowers. Then to give the garland some depth, I added a bevel and emboss style.

“Letter to a Friend” layout by Caroline Kaiser

Directions for one technique I did on this layout:

In the title, I wanted to modify the brackets of the brush ‘Thank You’ to make them bigger, with the right one including the two lines of the title below. For this, I selected each bracket with the Rectangular Marquee Tool, right-clicked on the selection, and chose ‘Layer via Cut.’ I then adjusted the size of each bracket with Edit> FreeTransform (Ctrl+T or Cmd+T).

Computer scrapbook layout by Paula Wright

“Surfer Dude” layout by Paula Wright
larger view

Directions for one technique I did on this layout:

To recreate the grungy and blended feel of this layout, start with a background paper that has a lot of texture: I used Diane Miller’s Desire Paper. Now bring a photo onto your page and scale it up to cover your 12 x 12 background. Use the Eraser Tool with a large, rough brush set on 35% opacity. Begin at the edges of your photo and gently erase until the background paper beings to show through. Leave enough of your photo background to be able to tell the subject matter, but little detail. When using brushes, place them below the photo layer; that way, the background detail of the photo blends over the brushes, making them look grungy, subtle and blended into your layout.

A Designer�s Life: Ariadna Wiczling

Things That Keep Me Going

Those of you who have several children will laugh out loud, but when I was supposed to stay home with my two children for the whole day one month after my second girl was born, I was scared to death. I didn't know if I would make it!

My older daughter, Bianka, is a very active child, looking for mischief all day long. As a nursing mother, I knew I was going to spend a huge part of my day sitting and not being able to react immediately in case Bianka decided to climb a desk or something similar. She also wanted to be hugged while I was nursing. What if they got hungry at the same time? Will they take naps at the same time, so I can nap, too? I had a thousand similar doubts.

Now, almost three months later, all I can tell you is that somehow it works. It worked during that first day, too! There are things that definitely help me to get through the day.

Number one – a baby swing. It worked like a charm with my first and works now, too. It is perfect for putting babies to sleep and keeping them away from their “loving and constantly wanting hugs and kisses” siblings.

Frozen food, which I prepared before having the baby or other “to go” options, like Chinese. I don't need to tell you how helpful this is!

Coke – I don't drink coffee, so this helps when I don't get a nap during the day or after a sleepless night.

Children DVD's – I knew that this day would come and my child would start watching movies. We have our favorites and a schedule. I can change or shower while she watches a movie and the little one is sleeping.

Internet – helps me stay in touch with the world, so that I don't feel so isolated chasing a toddler, changing diapers, nursing and cooking.

Camera – it not only helps me to preserve these precious memories, but also lets me step back a little bit. When the girls are in bed for a few hours, I start missing them. (How silly is that?) I'm so tired during the day that I don't see how much they change. I like looking at their pictures in the evening. Digital scrapbooking is just the perfect opportunity to do it.

This is a really crazy time in my life, but I love it. I know I'll be missing it before I know it!

- Ariadna

Favorite product I've designed:
A Guy Thing Collection

I created this collection with having those male pages on my mind. I really like the way it turned out and I especially like the fact that it's so versatile. It's perfect for a baby girl digital scrapbooking layout as well!

Quotes:

You must always be curious.
- Walt Whitman
I said in my heart, “I am sick of four walls and a ceiling. I have need of the sky. I have business with the grass.”
- Richard Hovey
Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist.
- Jose Ortega y Gasset
True creativity often starts where language ends.
- Arthur Koestler

We hope these lists give you some ideas to get you scrapping! We’d love to see what you come up with. There’s even a special gallery available for you to show off your Club creations and inspire each other, so start creating!
