Borders #5

And thanks for the hug!  Locate the password in the Terms of Use on the right and have fun.  By the way it's cold and rainy here too.  The first day of spring is Monday (I think)  and it will be a welcome sight.

Borders

Well I have not added any borders in a while.    Now all the files are in grey scale.  You will need to add color with your paint bucket or paper. Than click Layer>group with previous (crtl +g) and it will form to the shape. These are the kind of tools than can be used over and over again.  Thanks for the lovely notes and as always have fun.

Frame Template #9

This template is actually laid out in a 12x12 inch background so you can do the entire layout in it if you wish.  First click on the mask and than drag in the photo you wish to use. In order for the photographs to look correct you must, click on your move tool and at the corner adjust the position of the photo until you have aligned the top edge of the photo with the black mask that is included in each layer, this will give the impression that the pictures are folded.  If you would like to change the background matting, add another layer, group them together crtl+g, and fill with a paper or color you prefer.  I have made it large intentionally, click layers, merge visible and than resize it to suit your preferences and drag it into your layout.

Road sign Templates

I thought maybe some of you would like these templates so that you could personalize them for your area or trips.  Since all you have to do is add the background color and the text for the sign, even beginners will find it an easy thing to do. 

Also I renewed our account today, so we have another year of storage.  Have fun.

File Tab Template

File Tab Template.  It was originally set up as a .psd file, however it would have loaded at 107 mb.  To make the download smaller, it is loaded in 3 .png files and is about 30 mb. 

1. Open a 12 x 12 new document and drag all 3 files into the new document. 
2. As I have been teaching here, add a new layer to add a color and crtl +g. 
3. Set the layer to overlay, or play around with the settings until you are happy with the results. 
4. OR click on the layer you would like to be filled with paper and drag a paper you like in, crtl+g.
5. If you would like, you may  duplicate the layers and move extra "tabs" into your layout.  Only the top layer will be seen in it's entirety, so with your move tool selected, rotate the layers slightly askew until you have the desired effect.
6. Merge the layers.

Notebook Edge Templates

Notebook Edge's Templates.  There are 3 files included.  The first is a full page, the second a border and the third a frame.  Drag the paper you wish to use and crtl+g (layer group with previous).  Because you can see through the holes in the edge, the border piece has been left wide enough to allow for layering of the pieces.  You would however probably use the full page for the top layer.  In the preview I used it on top so that you could see it's width.  Use it all by itself with some staples, stitching or anything you would like to anchor it down in your layouts.  Have fun. 

Stitched Scalloped Template

Stitched Scalloped Template. reloaded 4-16-11

1. Open the template, drag in your paper, or make a new layer to add color, Ctrl+g (Layer>group with previous).
2. In the preview, I have set one to Overlay and the other to multiply. Pick the layer style that you looks best .
3. Layer>merge visible. Have fun.

Bus Template

Bus Template. I was thinking that there could be some other uses for this. It is just the Template.

1. You add the color (or ?) in one layer.
2. Click on the Text Layer, highlight the type, pick the color you want, and retype your phrase.
3. IMPORTANT!! You must decide which direction you want the bus in your layout. If you would like it turned. Click Image& Rotate& Flip layer horizontal. Than add your text, in a new layer. You can't rotate text.
4. When you are finished click Layer& merge visible. And drag into your layout. Have Fun.

Rolled Paper Template #6

Rolled Paper Template #6. This is a 2 layer template, so that you can "tuck" anything under the edge. Open the template.

1. Fill the mark layers with color or paper. If you are filling with paper click on the background layer and then drag the paper into the template. Click on the empty layer above it, you will see the setting (I think it was hard light). On the paper that you dragged in change the setting.
2. Click on the layer marked fill with color directly above the background layer, and now drag your photo's or ? into the template. Position and size, add a drop shadow.
3. Now click Layer>merge visible. And you can drag it into your layout. Have fun.

P.S. I know the animals and tooth fairies don't go together, I am still painting.

Turn Template #5

Turn Template #5. It's set up the same as #4.

Turn Template #4

Turn Template #4. There are 2 templates included.

1. The first is the larger image shown, for all one color of paper. Open the template and drag in a paper, CTRL+g. Set the layer to Hard light (or play with these and see if you like something else better.) When you have finished click Layer, merge visible.
2. The second is a .psd file, it has the 2 layers separate (the smaller image shown), so that you can create "double sided paper". Open the template, and fill with color or paper. When you are finished click Layer, merge visible. Have Fun.

Four Wheeler Template

Four Wheeler Template. And the Helmet Template. There are 3 places to fill with color. Click Layer> merge visable and drag into your layout. Have fun.

Cube Frame

3. TIP: angle your photo similar to the angle of the box. Have fun.

1962 Impala and Template

1962 Impala and Template.  My hubby wanted a 2 tone template to help him decide what color to paint his car. I included the 2 cars shown, put the same color in both layers for a car, like the red, or different in each layer for the 2 tone effect of the Beige. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm pretty sure the Jackson is going to love playing with this, because it kept dad busy for an hour.

Date Template

Date Template.    I know it looks white, but it is clear. All you have to do is,

1. Move both arrows to the month and year.
2. Move the star to the date.
3. The little gears, were dad's idea. If you don't want them, click the little eye off in the gears layer.
4. Click Layer, merge visible and drag into your layout.

File Folder Template

File Folder Template. You can add the color or paper you would like. It is loaded as a template, so that you can add a photo's as shown.

Or you can lay a photo (as shown) or whatever you like, in between the layers.

Paper Template #3. Shown twice, pulled farther into corner. Your comments are really appreciated, thanks.

Rolled Paper Template

Rolled Paper Template. Open the template. Drag the paper you want, set the paper layer to Overlay.

Jeep and Template

Jeep and Template. Thanks for the comments, it's encouraging. The tip about the saving files in TIFF, has sure come in handy on my computer. Although the files are larger in size than .psd, a preview isn't needed, so finding things had gotten a whole lot easier. Thanks!

Snowmobile and Template

Snowmobiles and Template. From the conversation about the fair also reminded me of this template idea. It's 1 template, in the preview I used it twice to form the curve in the center, if you rotate the template the curve could go the other way, just in case you want a 2 page layout. Curved Template.
