Sunglasses 01/03/06

Our family-Sam, Me, Stuart, Brooke, Roger 7/06

This is a sorry attempt at curling a digital picture.  It was a multi-step process.  This is the only one I've ever done.  I ended up buying templates that have the curl in the edge, so all I have to do is drag the photo in and adjust it--much easier than following all the steps.

I love the picture with all three kids.  When my SIL took the picture, there happened to be a duck meandering in the background.

Brooke's 3rd Birthday

For this page, I just used two shades of pink, and took advantage of the different brushes I had in photoshop.  One of the fonts I used, which is my favorite, is spharty girl, and the other one I can't remember the name of.  I used the stroke/outline feature in photoshop to make the borders around the edges of each photo.

Brooke's 3rd Birthday

I don't remember what I used for the background, but most of this page was made with digital elements I either bought or downloaded off the internet.  The word art that has the number "3" in the middle is actually one of the stamps I have in photoshop.  I used photoshop shapes and brushes to fade away the edges of the photos, and used a transparent frame for the photo on the left.  

Tubing at the Summit

I had a lot of fun with this page using stamps (brushes).  I had some cool snowflake brushes that I added bevels to to give it the 3D look.  

Family Reunion--St. George, UT

This is another lo from our family reunion.  Since I started digital scrapbooking, I take pictures differently.  Many times I take pictures of the scenery with the intent to use it as a background.  I like to do panoramics and spread them all the way across the lo.  

Roger's Baby Blessing

This LO of Roger's blessing is part of a large book I had published for my whole family.  Roger was blessed at our family reunion in July 2006.  The photo on the left was actually taken in our living room before the reunion.  I changed the levels around and added more light to the photo.  All the backgrounds in this book were white, and, for the interest of time, I added black borders around each photo (stroke/outline) to give each picture a little definition.

This LO is in black and white because I had a hard time getting the color right in a couple of the pictures.  Also, my sister-in-law took some of the photos with BW film.  To make life easier, I just made them all BW, and that took care of the problem.
