Digital Scrapbooking Using Templates Tutorial

2009-12-22T13:37:00.000+08:00

Okie dokie, So I know there's a few people out there that would like to learn how to Digiscrap, so I made this tutorial, I hope that it's as clear as anything for everyone :) Also I used Photoshop CS3 for this, older Photoshops should be the same, other programs may have something slightly different!

So here it goes, 7hump3r's First Tutorial!

Step 1.Open up the Template, Here I've used the template I created for my Cute Little You quickpage, you can use any template you have, just remember to give credits! Now, Each Template should be made of Layers, If it doesn't then you might have to go back into open and see if there's a file with it that doesn't have a picture, Quite often Designer's will include a preview of the template along with the template itself, Also commonly, it would probably have the same name as the preview..

2. To open the papers you wish to use Click File > Open... Find the digital Scrapbooking kit you would like to use, For this tutorial I only needed 3 papers, but depending on your template you may need more or less.. Find these inside the kit, To open multiple files hold CTRL and click each one, Then open them.. For this tutorial I chose my All Sass Kit..

3. Now, Select the bottom layer, It's quite often called "Background" make sure it has been selected (Should be highlighted grey) and then click which paper you would like to use for the background, Click and drag this paper from one frame to the other. If done properly, it should look like this..

3 Continued. Now, most of the time you will need to continue to drag the paper layer around on the template until the whole background is covered.. Once done, select the next layer like below

Continue with Step three untill all your layers are covered with the papers you chose, For each layer they may have different shapes, To clip the papers to those shapes either go CTRL + G or right click on that PAPER and select Create Clipping Mask, Continue those instructions till each shape/paper layer is covered. Once done you should have something that looks likes this..

4. Next select the PHOTO MAT/MASK LAYER, Go to File > Open and then select which picture/s you would like to add.. Select the picture and then the same as with step 3 you just clip the picture to the Photo Mat, It should look something like this..

4. Next, if your picture doesn't all fit, or you'd like to show a different part of the picture go to Edit > Free Transform and then Adjust using the little boxes, To keep the picture evenly proportioned hold SHIFT as you move each box in or out. If done correctly your layout should now look something like this...

5. Here I deleted two of the strips that were in my Template, Once deleted I then went File > Open and selected the elements folder from my All Sass kit and then selected a Ribbon and a Ricrac to replace the two paper strips I deleted.. Drag and drop onto your Layout and then reposition where you would like, Same with the picture you can use Free Transform to resize, move or turn the elements.

It's good practice to Take or Add from a Template, If you don't feel confident enough to delete anything from the template use them as guides for your elements and THEN delete them, else add papers to them and same with step 3 Clip them.

6. Shadowing is VERY important to give the layout a realistic look, to do this select the SHAPES/PAPER layer (NOT the Actual Paper you've clipped!) and go to the bottom of the layers box, There should be a cursive "Fx" there, Click on it and choose "drop Shadow" Do this too all the layers..

NOTE: Have a play with different distances, sizes and opacity! The further the distance of the shadow the deeper the shadow looks, the larger the size of the shadow the more spread and "feathered" it will look, The less Opacity you have the blended the shadow often looks..

7. Now to make the frame look less flat, You DON'T have to do this, It's all about personal preference.. Again go to the "fx" but this time click on "Bevel and Emboss" For this I set the Size to 32px and then the Highlights to 50% and Shadow to 30%, Again, you don't have to do this, but if you do have a play and change the sizing, or Highlight/shadow opacity, again it's all about playing!

8. Next it's time to create a Title, Most Template come with a Text layer for you to change, If they do you can either create a title using the Text tool or Using the Alpha that the Kit may have come with, Or one that you have bought seperately. Here I've Beveled and shadowed my Text and then added the alpha from my kit as seen underneath..

9. Make sure you have a play, not all Alpha's have to be certain spacing away from each other, try different things, Layer letters on certain layers, squish them up together or space them out and add elements in between, Only you imagination is the limit!

10. Add elements to your page, here I just added some staples and a few Brads, You can add as much or as little as you like, remember to shadow them and have a play. You can also add journaling by using the Text tool again and typing up what ever you'd like!

11. SAVE your layout! If your uploading to galleries save, then resize to anything below 1200 x 1200 and save again.. If you plan on printing keep it at it's original size (You may need to send it somewhere else unless you have a 12 x 12 printer!)

Here's My finished Layout!

Another day... Yet again!

2009-11-12T18:50:00.002+08:00

So today is almost over and im so tired that I have to keep scrolling over the time in order to remember what day it is... What was it again... Ahh thats right, Thursday!

Anyhow we've been having some wicked cool thunder n lightning storms, I actually CANT stand them, Last night there was thunder cracks so loud I burst into tears... Sad I know, but thats what happens when your little and your older sister locks you out in a thunderstorm.. Ho hum..

I, despite the fact that I'm a huge coward, actually went and stood outside for a good 10 mins watching the lightning, Little miss decided to follow me out, but quickly ran inside to daddy the moment the thunder cracked overhead again.. I can't blame her, Made my heartrate speed up something cronic, I'm fairly certain i'll die randomly during a thunderstorm if it keeps it up because my heart just nearly jumps outta my chest each time.. I do however wish I had batteries, because the lightning was just amazing, I've never seen such bright flashes of forked lightning light up the entire sky.. and during the day too!

Little Miss had her room cleaned again today, decided that we would take out half her toys and stick them in the backroom, and just change them over reguallarly.. Hopefully it stops the horrific messes she creates, even if it's just a fraction... Little Man is two months old today.. Two Months! It's hard to believe that 2 months ago I was holding my little man for the first time in my arms...

DARN! I really wish I had batteries for my camera, if only you could see how Little Miss is sleeping on the couch right now.. To cute!

Anyhow

There was a actual reason to this post.. Mainly that I'm giving away another freeeeeeeeeebie... It's an addon to a kit that I've been working on for the last week and bit I believe.. The kits name is Irrevocably In Love, The inspiration of course came from Twilight, which Woot, I'm seeing Next Wednesday with mother dearest just before we see the Midnight screening on New Moon! How excitement! Anyhow back to the kit, It's four papers, Personal Use and by darn it's kinda cute!

You can download HERE!

Happy Downloading.. And feel free to say thank you, It really doesn't hurt!

Another day..

2009-11-07T23:28:00.000+08:00

Another long day.. Sister came up and stayed the night, which was awesome, She left this arvo though..

Didn't get much done, as was chatting to her and then we played Guitar Hero for a while, Then after that logged onto World of Warcraft to see what my dailies were and ended up staying online to help my brother do some quests and Run a guild mate through a dungeon..

Once all that was done I decided to check my emails and a few forums and then jumped on CS3 to do some kit making.... Well.. I've made two more papers in total for my 3rd Kit so far... Go me! That brings my grand total for my 3rd kit to 8 papers, 0 elements and 1 Alpha

Exciting stuff huh??

anyhow, I spose I should be off making more stuff... Someone give me some hints on what they would like to see in this upcoming kit.. It's well I spose Lovely Dovey... But not all reds and pinks, its more modern love colours I spose... Blues, pinks, greens and yellows... Feel free to leave your hint in a comment below!!

New day, New post AND Friday Freebie!

2009-11-06T00:23:00.000+08:00

Hello world!

So, finally after much beating around the bush I decided to open a blog dedicated to the wonderful world of digital scrapbooking.. It's a newly discovered hobby of mine.. Or I guess you could say remastered if you like, since I did (and sometimes still do) Traditional Scrapbooking.

Nothing that new in the wonderful world of digital scrapbooking for me, cept maybe that this is my first post in this blog..

I do however have something lovely and.... Free.. coming soon :) Just keep watching and you shall see :)

I'm off to make myself a yummy Vanilla Latte, in the hopes that it will keep me awake!
