Note This Elements

Note This Paper and Note This Elements.

Remember what I told you about the odd shaped frames. Duplicate the layer, fill the bottom layer with color. Place the photo between the 2 layers and Layer> Merge Visible. If you want to use 4 photo's crop them and re size to fit in each window and then merge. I knew the orange would come in handy, I'm using it for Jackson's basketball game picture. His first games tonight!

Tied Up Papers and Elements

Tied Up Papers and Tied Up Elements. Now to use the "tape" pieces, in that layer select a drop shadow that is low or soft edge. Then change the layer from normal to hue. This will achieve the look in the layout. They don't look this way in the download. You can also change the color by picking what you want to use, select the paint bucket and over the tape, add the color. Play around a bit and see if you find something that you like better.

Your Name is Mud Papers

I had some photo's of the boys jeepin'. Covered in Mud, but they had been converted to sepia before I got them and I needed some color. My mother used to say this, it meant you were in trouble, big trouble.  Your name is mud papers, Elements and Alpha. Update...I finally realized one evening, watching a program about President Lincoln, that the saying "Your name is Mud", probably came from Dr. Mudd, who set John Wilkes Booth's leg after the assassination of the President. Now that was big trouble!

Boys Basics

So I loaded some more papers, I had gotten the litte dog template from a gal that makes the cutest things, and you might like to go there and see if there is anything you like. I wish that I had some felt paper to make the dog, I think it would look better, but maybe I'll redo it later. All her things are free also. So we have been busy painting. It's boring. I'm still looking for any other websites you might like, but I will list them as I have the time. Oh, if you see anything you want me to make for you, just let me know. The templates are really easy to use, just like any other, order the paper above the template piece and press ctrl+g, this will group them together and it fairly quick this way.

Truck Papers and Embellishments

These papers were for a truck page. I used all the hubcaps for a border, but they would probably be good for other things. So for all of you that are new, if you like one element and want to use several, brads for instance, adjust the element to the size you would like, select layer, duplicate layer and now you have 2. Just move one to its proper place. I think this is the best way to keep all your Brads the same size. Download the Boys Toys Papers and the Boys Toys Embellishments.
