This page was inspired by the American Eagle Outfitters website. I wanted something bright and colorful and decided on using a quote for the page because I hadn't done that in a while. The quote is by Hardy D. Jackson.
Steps to Make Layout
Before I started the layout, I created the photo in Paint Shop Pro. I actually used a photo of Taylor and a separate photo of the sky and put the two together. Using PSP, I traced the outline of Taylor's body using the Freehand Selection Tool set to Smart Edge. This allows you to trace the outline of an object and select it. Once I had Taylor selected, I copied and pasted her onto the photo of the sky. I then added some swirl brushes from Rhonna's Peapod kit in black and set the layer properties to Overlay.
The text was added with the text tool, making each line a different color. I then flattened the image, saved as a jpg and printed it on 8½ X 11 photo paper.
1. Use blue Scenic Route paper as the background.
2. Find various colors of paper to make your "rainbow". Cut a thin strip of each color and adhere to page.
3. Trim white cardstock, use a corner rounder on all 4 corners, and adhere to page.
4. Use corner rounder on all 4 corners of the photo and adhere to page.
