Lighting the Menorah Hanukkah Digital Scrapbook Layout Page Idea

How to Create for PC:
- Create a blank 12x12 page. Add Hanukkah paper P3 to your background. Go to Cut and Fill-->Wand and select the white areas of the paper. Then choose "erase selected area". While still in the Cut and Fill tab, use the Custom cutter and use that to draw around each of the three different waves and select "Cut around shaded area" for each one. This will turn the paper into three layers. Delete one of the layers. In this example, I deleted the top polka dotted one.
- Insert four empty frames and arrange them in the layer stack so that they are below the bottom wave, but above the top wave. I have mine sized roughly 3.5x3.5, with some of them being adjusted from that to accommodate my photos. Arrange the photos along the curve of the bottom wave. Select all four photo holders and go to Format Photos-->Mat. In this example, I have a width of 3 and a relief of -1. Change the mat fill to a color that coordinates with the paper or photos. Add a light shadow to each of the photo holders.
- Insert the Lighting Menorah word art. I have mine sized to a width of 5". Locate that in the upper right hand corner.
- Insert the presents and purple star embellishments into the project. Arrange them in a way that appeals to you in the lower left-hand corner, resizing as desired. Add a light shadow to each of the embellishments. In this case, I flattened each embellishment after adding the first shadow and then added another light shadow to make it pop off the page a bit more.

How to Create for MAC:
- Create a blank 12x12 page. Add Hanukkah paper P3 to your page. Go to Cutters-->Wand and select the white areas of the paper. Then choose "erase selected area". Then, use Cutters-->Shape and select the first shape, the wave. Stretch the wave shape horizontally and vertically so that it goes around the bottom wavy section of the paper. Select "Cut around shaded area". Do the same thing for the other two wavy sections of papers. This will turn the paper into three layers. Delete one of the layers. In this example, I deleted the top polka dotted one.
- Insert four empty rectangle shapes (Element-->Insert-->Rectangle) and arrange them in the layer stack so that they are below the bottom wave, but above the top wave. Use the inspector to make them roughly 3.5x3.5, adjusting as necessary from that to accommodate your photos. Arrange the photos along the curve of the bottom wave. Select each of the rectangles and fill them with photos and then go to Inspector-->Graphic Tab-->Stroke and make an 8pt stroke. Change the color of the stroke to coordinate with the paper or photos. Add a shadow to each of your shapes. I like mine to be a dark gray with a blur and offset of 5 for a tight shadow.
