Super busy so ALL DIGI!

These last few weeks have been super busy. We have put our house on the market and spring break is over.

So I had to get into the Simply Stylish pre-designed pages ( come with the $39.95 coupon) from Creative Memories to put out some fast pages of some of my most recent pics. ( Only because if I didn't do it right away I would forget why the photos made me LAUGH OUT LOUD!) Thank you to my sister who gave me the idea to put the quotes in from the movie Dumb and Dummer.

Digtial Letter Cutouts

I was playing around with the flatten button and discovered that I can "punch out" letters from pictures...

Put a letter of chunky font on a photo, I used the fancy font for the ART page as it was very easy to ungroup ( under the arrange tab) and move the letters around independently of one another.

I then selected both the letter and the photo under the elements toolbar and under the arrange tab I flattened them.

With a click of my magic wand, under the cut and fill tab, I then wanded and removed the letters to leave "punched out letters"

FUN!!! I will have to do some more for a dramatic effect!!!!

Text and Fonts, thank you Lizz...

Lizz Marsh is a graphic designer and a team member who has been eye-balling all that I do. (I am very thankful as she is my downline, one of my biggest cheerleaders as well as a real gift from God) What she noticed was my lack of straying from the typical default font when creating pages and working with text in Storybook Creator. Hmmm...SHE OPENED MY EYES!

I knew fonts were important, but I NEVER understood HOW important they are! Photos and Fonts MAKE A PAGE! Thank you Lizz so much for your insight into taking my pages to the next level.

The buzz word is typography...I will be using more of this in pages to come!





















UP NEXT...the SOCK page! I am almost there!
