Isolate Color in Photo Wish Digital Scrapbooking Layout

Isolate Color

Designed by: Sara Porter

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. Add the desired photo to your page and enlarge it to about the size of the page. This is so it will be easier to work with small details in the photo. In my photo I decided to isolate the color of his eyes. Highlight the photo and select the "shapes" cutter from the "Cut & Fill" tab and the circle. Size the circle to the size of the eye. You may need to swap the shaded area so it is around the eye. "Keep the shaded section" and “copy”.
  2. Sometimes you may need to use "soften edge" to the copied element so it will blend in seamlessly. To do this; select the copied element then the “filters” effects from the “format” tab. “Soften Edge” I used a softness of 12 in my example and select “apply”.
  3. For odd shaped elements such as my popsicle select the "custom" cutter from the "Cut & Fill" tab. Create points around the desired shape. You may need to edit these points to get the correct shape. Feel free to "zoom"in for an even closer look. "Keep the shaded section" and “copy”.
  4. Highlight the original photo only and then select the "Black and White" or "Sepia" option from the "Color" Tab. Select all of the elements of the photo and right click " Grouping" and "Group." You are now free to resize the photo and finish your page.

Edge Cutters Digital Scrapbooking Technique Layout

EdgeCutters

Designed by: Jodi Eisner

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. Add a 12" x 9.5" photo to page, set to top of page.
  2. Add Reminisce Digital Power Palette paper #23 to page.
  3. Use Cutters> Edge> Shaped> Rugged Digital Edges #8 (flames with tire tracks).I created my cut in the direction that the cutter comes onto the page and then rotated 270 degrees afterwards. Set the Aspect Ratio and the Spacing of the cut to your liking. Rotate your cut piece as I described above and reduce opacity to 79%. Add Glow using standard crayon box color "Cayenne" with blur set to 39% and opacity at 78%. Set toward bottom third of page.
  4. Add another sheet of Reminisce paper #23. Use Cutters> Edge> Blended. Create a fairly wide blend. This piece is placed over the tire tracks and covers the white page still visible below the picture. The blend needs to be wide so as not to hide the flames and appear as additional "glow" of the firelight.
  5. Copy the flames created in step 3. Flip them so that they face the opposite direction and do not look exactly the same as the other flames. Set low on the page so that the tire tracks are not visible as tire tracks.
  6. Add Rugged Outdoors Digital Overlay #6. User False Color and select Cayenne for both colors.
  7. Add Rugged Outdoors Digital Additions embellishments "Swirl" and "Camping Out" and "Bon Fire". Set shadows to your liking for the second two embellishments; I did not add shadow to the swirl.
  8. Add text box with month and year.
  9. Journal as desired.

Most Beautiful - Fabulous Digital Scrapbook Layout

LBailey-Multiple_Gradients-Most_Bea utiful_-_Page_049

Designed By: Leanne Bailey

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. Start by adding the Yellow Tag from Fabulous Outdoors Digital Additions across the bottom of the page. You will have to stretch it so it reaches across the entire page. Then add your photo to the page and place it just at the top of the yellow tag and make sure that is goes across the entire page as well.
  2. Add Fabulous Ribbon 3 from the Fabulous Digital Power Palette to the page and place it across the bottom of the photo.
  3. Next  add Fabulous Outdoors 02 overlay to the page and under the “Cut&Fill” tab you will want to use the “Straight” cutter to cut the top left corner away from the bottom right corner.  Next you will want to make additional cuts to these two parts of the overlays so you can fill them with multiple colors. I would recommend cutting both sections into about 3 additional sections and then go to the “Gradient” tool on the “Cut&Fill” tab. With the first section highlighted select two colors that coordinate with your page, you can even select sample colors from the papers or photos on your page.
  4. Continue to select the piece of overlay next to the one you just colored and leave one of the original colors and only change one color on each additional piece and this will give your  over a nice flow of color change. Continue this with the bottom section of overlay just experimenting and playing around with the different fill options. Once you have fill the entire overlay you can then hold down the shift key and select all the pieces of the overlay that you just cut up and then right click and “Flatten” them back together again to make them into one overlay again.
  5. On top of the photo I added the quote Most Beautiful View and changed the color by using the same technique of cutting it into three different pieces and filling using the “Gradient” tool. Then I added the Dragonfly embellishment to the end of the quote.
  6. Place the Frame on your page and enlarge and rotate it so that is hangs off the page framing the subject in your picture. I then added the embellishments Button2, Ribbon21, Stitching 25 and 26 to the frame to dress it up a little bit and you can just layer together as you like.
  7. Add a text box to the bottom left corner of your page and journal.
