Project - Themed Layout: When It All Began

<p>There really was a moment, a specific event and moment, that I decided to start scrapbooking. I didn't want to forget it; i needed to make sure it was recorded.

<p>Digital Kits used:

<p>__Joined At The Hip<br>
__Junk In The Trunk<br>
__Sewn With Love Labels<br>
__Journaling Frame Printables<br>
__Dolce Love Accents<br>
__See Throughs: Tags<br>
__Overjoyed Paper Pack<br>
__Overjoyed Embellishment Kit<br>
__Winter Wonderland Paper Pack<br>
__2Peas Freckles (font)

<p>Instructions:

<p>1. Open a new 8.5x11 page in your software program (I am using Photoshop CS) and drag and drop the aqua dotty paper from the ‘Overjoyed Paper Pack’ onto your page.

<p>2. Open a copy of the white & blue paper in ‘Winter Wonderland paper pack’ (make sure it is a copy that is not locked as a background) and with your magic wand, select the white area. Go to SELECT>SIMILAR and then after you choose that option, hit the delete key. You should now only have the blue florals left. Drag and drop those onto your page and go to EDIT>TRANSFORM>FLIP HORIZONTAL, aligning it on the left side of your page.

<p>3. Arrange and resize your photos so that they form a column on the right-hand side of the page. Layer the “x” stitching frames from ‘Joined At The Hip’ so that they frame in the photo grouping.

<p>4. Now open and drag over the grid tag from ‘Sewn With Love Labels’ and duplicate the layer so you have two of them. Line them up vertically to the left of your photos. Open the tag in ‘Journaling Frame Printables’ and drag that over, dropping it on top of the sewn labels.

<p>5. Add the heart rub-ons from ‘Dolce Love Accents’ and the stickers from ‘Overjoyed Embellishment Kit’ atop the tag.

<p>6. Add the grommet from ‘Junk in the Trunk’, being sure to select the center area of the grommet with your magic wand; then with marching ants still flashing click on the layer for your tag and hit delete. This will make the grommet appear to be inserted in a hole in the tag. Add a tiny drop shadow to the grommet if you prefer.

<p>7. Now, add from the same kit the chain and safety pin, erasing the areas that would not show if it were to be looped through one another in real life. Also, add the transparent embellished tag from ‘See Throughs: Tags’ kit in the same way. With 2Peas Freckles font, add your title to the tag.

<p>8. Finally, add your journaling to the big journaling frame.
