Project - Themed Projects : {our new library}

Galleries: Scrapbooking


<p>We love our new neighbourhood. We've now been in our new house for 3 weeks! One of the things on our list of things to do was to visit our new library to get our library cards and check out some new bedtime stories for the girls. I am not sure who loves the library more, me or Alyssa! What I love about it is the building. Being in a small town we're treated to the older buildings and our new library is for sure one of them! The original building was built in 1913 and then added onto in 1977-78.</p>
<p>The front steps of the library looked so inviting, so I&nbsp;asked my oldest daughter to sit on them. It made for some great pictures! Growing up I&nbsp;loved visiting my local library, so I&nbsp;hope my girls love their new library.</p>
<p>With the theme still all about stickers, I&nbsp;went ahead and created myself some more stickers.</p>
<p>To do this in&nbsp;PSE, I did the following:</p>
<p>1. Open the image that I&nbsp;wanted to make a sticker out of.</p>
<p>2. From the main menu, select <strong>Edit</strong> &gt; <strong>Stroke (Outline) Selection</strong></p>
<p>3. In the <strong>Stroke dialog </strong>box I either typed in <strong>10-30 px for the Width </strong>(all depended on how thick I&nbsp;wanted the white border to be), then for <strong>Color, I&nbsp;selected white</strong>. For <strong>Location, I checked off Outside</strong>, so that my border appeared outside of the image. Everything else I&nbsp;left the same.</p>
<p>4. Click OK.</p>
<p>For this layout, I&nbsp;even&nbsp;made a brad &amp; the journaling blocks look like a stickers!&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;also recoloured the trees&nbsp;to match the trees in my pictures, especially the bright red bush right by the&nbsp;steps; which my daughter picked some berries off!&nbsp;I also&nbsp;recoloured the line around the journaling blocks to match the door on the library. Lots of fun little things for this layout!</p>
<p>Credits: Background papers (green dotted &amp;&nbsp;lined paper):&nbsp;Michelle Underwood's Wrapped Around Your Finger, Alpha (new), library card, brad:&nbsp;Jen Allyson's - Study Hall kit, Alpha (our) buttons, flowers tab, journaling block, arrow: Meredith Fenwich's Little Wonders kit, Trees: Jen&nbsp;Allyson's Spot Color Element Stickers, Calendar&nbsp;Stamp: Tia Bennett's A Calendar Year.</p>
<p>Thanks for looking!</p>
