A Waggin' Good Tale Digital Scrapbook Layout

ParksD2012-08-10AWagginGoodTale.sbpage

Designed by: Debbie Parks

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. Place Family Pets Paper 21 as background.  Then Place Down to Earth Paper 7, sizing 1/8” smaller than the first paper. 
  2. Place Down to Earth Frame_Brown to page.  Stretch it to 10 ½” w x 7” h. Add shadow. (This is the back cover to the “book”.) 
  3. Place Down to Earth Cardboard on page and size to about 6.5” x 5.5”.  Copy this and paste 4 times.  Add a shadow to each and place on top of each other, slightly offset as shown, so as to appear as pages of a book. 
  4. Likewise to create the other half of “book”, place Down to Earth Cardboard, flipping it horizontally to create the “pages” on the right side of the book.  Copy and paste it 4-5 times, again positioning each to create the look of pages.  Add shadow. 
  5. Add Down to Earth Frame-Brown to page and place on the left side as shown.  Place Frame_Flower on right as shown, flipping it horizontally. Add photos, arranging them behind the frames. Add Bow as shown and apply shadow to each piece. 
  6. To create the dog collar, choose Family Pets Paper 20.  Cut to 5/8” x 12”.  Cut the paper lengthwise using the straight, shaped edge cutting tool. (place the tool close to the bottom edge of paper strip as it will cut above the line) Choose the Paw shape, sizing so that there are 7 paws spaced evenly as shown.  Choose to keep both sides after cutting.  Click off of paper and then back on to one of the cut pieces.  Move the paper one or two clicks to one side and one to two clicks down, then add a shadow.  It creates sort of an “embossed” type look.  Add 6  Down to Earth gold brads, sized about ¼” in size.  Align and space in between paws as shown. Add shadow.  
  7. Trim the blue paper so that it is about 1/8” away from the collar. (both above and below)
  8. Add 2 Down to Earth Frame_Scallops as shown, one smaller than the other, to create a “buckle”. Add shadow. 
  9. Add Family Pets Made with Love two times on the bottom of page as shown.  
  10. Add Family Pets Genuine Love tag, erasing or cutting off some of the chain so as to look correct as it hangs off the circle. 
  11. Add the title using Fancy Text font from the Divine Digital Kit.  I created each word separately so that I could size them differently.  Change the color of the text to a dark brown. Likewise, add “two good dogs” again using the Divine Fancy Text, changing the color to a taupe.  Add the journaling  text using Courier New font ( I used font size 13).

Fluffy & Fido Digital Kit Scrapbooking Layout

TSwan Fluffy and Fido 12x12 layout

Designed by: Trisha Swan

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. Add paper 11 to the background.
  2. Place your photo on top as shown as to only leave a few inches of the paper showing.
  3. Take Fluffy and Fido Diecut 8 and use the square cutter (Cut & Fill – Shape – square) to cut everything off of the paper except the border on the very top. Place it as shown at the top of the photo. Using the wand cut the dark brown and Blue pieces apart so that they are two separate embellishments. Shadow both pieces separately. (I shadowed with the all around shadow and flattened each piece a few times to make the shadow stand out a bit more).
  4. Place 2 photos on the page as shown and place a light peachy/orange colored mat around them both. (I color sampled the peachy hue from the papers in the kit). Shadow them and place them as shown.
  5. Add the tag 1 Dog Blue tag as shown and shadow it. Then add the tag 7 family pet tag the same way. Lastly add the Tag 7_DogBone tag to the page as shown. Use the Andes Font to write “How'd that happen” (or whatever you wish) on the tag. Flatten them together and shadow it as shown.
  6. Use the Adharoni Font to write your journaling in white down the left side of your photo as shown. Shadow it as necessary to make it stand out on your photo.

Love at FURst Sight Fluffy & Fido Digital Scrapbooking Layout

Designed by: Jennifer GibsonFURST sight - fluffy and fido

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

How to Create:

  1. For background I added from the Fluffy and Fido Digital Kit- Tag1_PlaidBlue Embellishment.  I increased the size considerably to cover the entire page.  I saturated the color slightly using the color adjust hue tool.  Add Fluffy and Fido DieCut1 and fill with dark brown color.
  2. Cut out a rectangle shape out of Fluffy and Fido Paper12.  Decrease the saturation using the color adjust hue tool and stretch the rectangle across the center of the page.  Add the Cord surface texture to the paper and shadow the paper.
  3. Add Tag12 from the Fluffy and Fido Digital Kit.  Cut out the words only to use as your word art.  Flatten the words now on your page.  Cut the words apart to arrange to suit your page.
  4. Add Fluffy and Fido Paper7 to page.  Decrease size and arrange in bottom right behind the striped paper in the center of the page.  Add additional paper to page and change color to dark brown.  Add burlap surface texture to paper and arrange over part of Paper7 bottom right.
  5. Add photos to page.  Add photo to left hand side with dark brown mat.  Use Vintage Frame Stitched for one of the frames of your photos for center page.  Create your own frame for another photo by adding a paper – using the custom cutter tool to organically cut out a frame.  Use the paper rip cutting tool to add elements to frame as well as additional shadowing and textures to suit the page and look you are going for. 
  6. Add: Tag5_buttons_Tan and Tag5_buttons_white to page from Fluffy and Fido Digital Kit.  Cut out the buttons from these tags to use as embellishments.  Once they are cut out, flatten and add a 3D edge to them to show dimension.  Insert 30_Staple from Digital Embellishment – Office Supplies II.  Fill the staple with dark brown color.  Insert these staples to center of each button to show they are stitched on.  Also add knotRibbon3 (with brown color wash) from Digital Embellishments – Sewing Room – Baby Girl to buttons as well as 11_Rubberbandknot from Digital Embellishments – Office Supplies II for additional interest.  Add ElementsCardboard from Digital Embellishments – Elements behind homemade frame.  To create word art tag cut out a circle, fill it in with a dark brown color.  Copy and paste the circle and fill it with a cream color.  Arrange the circles on top of one another making the white the top color and slightly smaller.  Add a noisy fractal map filter to the white circle.  Flatten the two circles together and arrange them under one of the buttons.  Add word art to the circle to make it look like a tag.
  7. Add journaling strips using white paper cut out and Distressed Digital Overlay1 to each journaling strip.  Also add the 30_staple from Digital Embellishments which were previously used for the buttons for each journaling strip.
