Early Spring

Can you tell where my mind is?  I am certainly ready for some much warmer weather.

Freaky Frogs

 Freaky Frogs.    Thanks so much for the nice comments.  It is really funny how fascinated we were with pong and now look at how advanced the games are!  Something a bit more whimsical.  The lily pads are all in separate files and you can just lay as many as you wish.  Because they are all similar in color, one of the leaves in the preview was darkened just a bit to make them stand out from one another.  Also the frame is actually in 2 pieces, the back one is open so you would what the use your shape tool to cut your photo into a cirle.  The front one is closed and not exactly circular.  To place your photo into this layer. Duplicate the frame on the bottom layer, fill it with your paint bucket.  Drag your photo in between the 2 layers and group it to the layer you just filled (crtl+g).  Merge visible, You should be good to go and have fun.

Country Stroll

Country Stroll.  I went to Amy's stamp party this morning. When I got home started laying out Jackson's dog costume and totally forgot about loading this. So better late than never.

Mountain Sheep or Mufflon

Mountain Sheep.   Mungo calls these Mufflon, in Cyprus. I'm very glad you are able to use them. Thanks for leaving the nice comments, have fun.

Per-Arne, from Norway has sent his layout idea.

Trees

Tree #1 and Tree #2. They are in 2 downloads because I left them large. If you want narrower tree just resize them. Have fun.

Going Nutty

Going Nutty. You should be able to use any of the other nature kits with this one, since it is fairly neutral. This is the guy, along with his friends, that dismantled the cushion on my glider last summer. I never did get a picture of him with his cheeks stuffed full. The neighbors feed them peanuts and they did all their home building from my cushion. I guess this neighborhood is like one stop shopping for the squirrels.

Natural Kit

This is shown exactly as I did the layout. It's only 2 papers and 2 elements. The log and fungus is really large making it also a little large in memory. I was extracting fungus and really like this one as photographed. The top paper is in greyscale, so if you would like another color, just add a new layer and fill with a color, and adjust the layer style (probably overlay or hard light). If you would like to use other elements from other kits, I'm sure you can find something that would match. I think the fastest way to fill the frame is with the skills you already have.

1. Select your magic wand tool and click on the black in the frame.
2. Click Edit>cut.
3. Click Edit> paste. Now line this back into the area it was cut from.
4. Add you photo into the layer above and click Layer> Group with previous. Turn your photo to a similar angle as the frame, so that it is lined up properly.

I did this for all three frames, added some text and was finished.
Another way to fill the frames is...

1. Select your magic eraser tool and click on the black in the frame.
2. Postion your photo in the layer below the frame, on a similar angle.
3. Now you will need to erase all of the photo that extends beyond the white of the frame. And you are finished.

Rememeber to always have fun.

Nature's Way

Nature's Way.  Hello everyone. I'm very sorry with the delay of this kit. I had the unfortunate luck to come down with pneumonia. Yesterday I went to see the Dr. and don't have to take any more antibiotics! I do still feel a bit run down and just plain tired. So we'll finish this kit and maybe I'll do some computer cleaning, or maybe something will inspire me. But the pace will probably be a bit slower for the next week or two. Thanks for your concern, and remember to have fun.

Judith had sent this gorgeous deer visiting her backyard. It would please me if you took a moment to thank her for her contribution. There is one deer but I wanted to remind some of the gals that are newer that an object can be turned. Have Fun.

Mushrooms 2

Mushrooms 2. And these seem woodsy. And thanks to Judith for all of them.

Lake Tahoe Pines

Lake Tahoe Pines. Tress since you are new to digital scrapbooking and your photo's are of such an important event, some advice....I usually do my layout, and save it as a .psd, which saves all the layers (so you don't flatten it), into a file of layouts. When I am satisfied with the layout, it is moved into a file to print. Then they are opened, the layers merged and printed. Now the files shown are in the download, but also the pieces that made them, so that you can see some of the layering, just duplicate the layers and position them. Then merge the layers, and save your finished piece or drag it into your layout. Have fun.

Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe Paper 1 and Lake Tahoe Paper 2 and Lake Tahoe Elements. Sorry, I forgot to load this before we left this morning. Tress had great photo's, panaramic, so she won't need much in the way of embellishments, but if anyone would like something to go with leave a note.
