This vibrant page was made by KKerrigan,
I love all those bubbles laid over the wonderfully extracted photo.
Her DD looks like she's diving out of the page!

Nicole created this magical page.
I love her use of blending in this LO. Great idea to lay the fairy elements over the photo, so it looks like they are part of the original photo.

Lilaclady made this super cute LO.
Lots of fun ideas here. I love the lollipop forest and the witch's legs poking out of the page edge.

NEW BLINKIE!

I hope everyone had a fun National Scrapbooking Day! I spent all day Saturday shopping in the scrapbooking sales!
I finally made a blinkie today. It's not perfect, but for a first attempt I think it's okay! I mainly used Mermaid Dreams in the Ocean Tagger Size to create it.
If you have Photoshop, why not try making one yourself? It's fun and not too difficult. Here's a basic tutorial on how I did it:
  1. Open a new document in Photoshop 300x100.
  2. Using a scrapbooking kit of your choice, choice a background and some elements.
  3. Place all elements that you wish to animate on seperate layers.
  4. Write your text on seperate layers.
  5. Click on the icon at the bottom of the Tools palette and it will take you to Adobe Imageready.
  6. You will see a layers palette as you do in Photoshop. Make visible the layers you wish to animate first.
  7. In the Animation Palette click the duplicate current frame button twice.
  8. Move the elements/text you wish to animate slightly then click duplicate current frame button twice again.
  9. Keep moving your elements/text and duplicating the frames. You can click Play to see the animation come to life. Keep going until you are happy with the result. You can delete frames if they are not right and also go back into Photoshop if you need to edit an element, then come back to ImageReady where the change will have been automatically updated.
  10. When finished, reduce image size to W150px x H50 px.
  11. Save optimized as GIF

Here's the finished Blinkie:

NEW CT LAYOUTS

Just sharing a couple of new layouts by my talented CT member Patty! Some great ideas in these pages!

Here she uses Fairy Dreams in the Spring kit.
What a fresh-looking page! I love the cute photo and the bunny stamp that comes with the kit goes so well with it!
She added the "sweet bunny" journaling herself using a vintage typewriter font and then used an overlay blend to merge it with the background paper. Putting text on it's own layer and playing around with Layer Blending Modes, is a great way to create your own wordart!


For this layout Patty used Mermaid Dreams in the Ocean.
This layout shows that a page without a photo can be very effective!
Pages with just journaling and elements make a great "breathing space" in printed scrapbooks and allow time for the reader to absorb your content.

NEW FAIRY DREAMS IN THE SPRING LAYOUT

I just HAVE to share this awesome layout I noticed at DigiShopTalk today!

It's by Miney777 using the Fairy Dreams in the Spring kit
I love the delicate clustering of elements around the frame and the fairy on top. Great use of "white space" and the cute baby seems to be looking at all the spring elements!
