look very very nice.

I hope You enjoy this tutorial as much as I did

writing it for You.

How To Make A Quick Page From Scratch

For this tutorial You will need to use a scrap kit of

choice or Mine. I am using a kit by the

wonderful Charly of Country Hollow Creations and

You can find Her kits at Her store here.

The one I'm using is called Baby Time.

I know that some of You are interested in all those

bigger sized images that many scrappers make

with their kits and such, so I decided to

teach You the basics of it. I hope

some of You find it of

use.

This one is going to be a smaller version of a normal sized

quick page but it's still going to be made just like

a real one.

So to get started open a blank canvas of 900x900.

Using Your magic wand click on the blank

canvas. From the kit choose a paper You really

like and go to edit copy and edit paste

into selection.

Selections

select none.

Now from the kit You have just chosen open a

frame or other like element from it.

Edit copy

Edit paste as a new layer.

Positioning it where You'd like it to be.

If You'd like to make the said element a little

bigger all You need to do is go to Image.

Image resize

All layers unchecked.

Put the size on percent and type in

about 110 or so and just

use what looks best

to You.

Now just begin choosing the elements You'd

like to use and paste them over

the canvas as We did with

the frame.

My quick page won't be half as good as

Your's trust Me lol I am just

trying to guide You in how to pull

off a really nice looking

creation.

Ok now let Us add some depth.

Effects

3D Effects

Drop Shadow

Vertical 2

Horizontal 2

Opacity 60

Blur 10.00

Color Black.

If these settings are too much for the

page just play with the settings.

Now on Your frame layer click inside of it

with Your magic wand.

Now click on the paper layer in your layer

palette and hit Your delete key on

Your keyboard.

Selections

Select

none.

Now that Your done with that You can add

Your own text etc that You wish.

Save as png and it will match any Background

You want to put it onto.

I do hope somebody found this a little

useful.

Candy Coated Love

You will need the following supplies for this tutorial:

Scrap kit of choice or Mine.

It's called candy coated and can be found

at Scraps With Attitude.

It's made by the very talented Heather at

Candy Coated Scraps.

Template made By DBA. Thank You Ali

for allowing Us to use Your wonderful templates for

our creations. You will have to look under

templates.

Paint Shop Pro but if You know Your programs well

enough You could probably do this with any

of them out there.

Tube of choice. I used a tube by Jason Patterson

which I acquired through MPT's yahoo group.

You have to have a license in order to use any of his

artwork.

Now let's get started. Open Your template in psp and

duplicate it by pressing shift+D and close the

original one.

Click the background layer with Your magic wand and

opening a paper of choice from the kit go to edit copy

and edit paste as a new layer and then selections

select none.

(Side note here. Now depending which psp version

Your using Your manual color correction tool will be

under Your customize settings when You click on psp's

background. So go to the area under Your tag and

right click on customize and under commands You will

see tools click on that and look for the color correction

tool on the right hand side and place it on one of Your

toolbars in psp. Just drag it up there. I am not sure where

it is in versions other than psp 10 sorry).

Open another paper or element from the kit and choose

a color that goes with Your tag and keep this open

behind Your canvas but to the left or right of it so that You

can see it.

On the Group Raster Layer use Your manual color

correction tool and for the colors on source click

the merged layer and that shade of grey will be

showing in the box. On the target choose the color

from the paper or element You have chosen and click

ok when You like how it looks.

Click on the raster layer 2 in Your layer palette with

Your magic wand click on the heart and from

the kit Your using choose and paper from it and

go to edit copy and edit paste as a new layer.

Selections select none. On raster layer 5 use Your

color correction tool and use a color of choice

to color the hearts frame.

Delete layers 4 and 6.

For raster 1 and 2 You can either do the paper

steps once again or the manual color

correction tool. It's up to you.

On raster layer 7 We are going to work this

in a few steps since the hearts are two

different colors.

So go to Your manual color correction tool

once again and for the colors of source

choose black and whatever other

color You have used for Your creation.

Now on that same layer let's use Your

freehand selection tool and draw

around all the other smaller hearts that

You didn't did get colored. Be sure

the lasso tool is set to add (Shift) so You don't

have to hold down Your shift key. Once

this is done color them the same way

as above.

On layers 8 and 9 do the same as We have done

with the hearts only You won't have to use

Your free hand tool.

Now we are going to add our tube. Go to

raster 3 and go to edit copy on your

tube and then edit paste as

as a new layer.

Duplicate this layer and pull one of them

under the frame layer and turn the

visibility off on the top layer. now just carefully

erase around the frame on the

outer edge.

Now go back to Your top layer and erase

it doing the same don't worry this is

such a faultless step it will never

look marred if Your a terrible tuber as

I am lol.

Ok now make sure the top layer is still selected

and begin to add any of the kits elements

that You like.

If Your using My kit You will have really size

down. I did this by going to image resize

make sure that percent is chosen and that all layers

are unchecked. I used the numbers between 5

and 20 for all of My elements.

Now let's add drop shadows to all of the things in

our tag. Effects 3D Effects Drop Shadow

with the following settings

vertical 2

horizontal 2

opacity 40

blur 5.00

color black.

Now don't add a drop shadow onto the top tube

that You used for Your heart instead

drop shadow the one below the frame layer so

that is shows no flaws. If You have any

hangers just erase them to

smooth out the tag.

Now add any text You wish and go to layers

merge visible save as png and Your

all done.

I hope You enjoyed this tutorial.

A Father's Love

For this tutorial You will need the following:

Template by Rainy at Rainy's Templates.

She has many other templates to choose from

that could be used for this tutorial.

Scrap Kit I used or one of Your choice. It really

should be full sized though. The kit I chose is

by the awesome Sharon of As Sweet as Honey

Scraps.

I used the kit called It's a Dad Thing from Scraps

With Attitude. Thank You Sharon hon for letting

Me write a tutorial with Your kits -hugs and kisses-.

Images or tubes of choice. Images would be best for

this sort of tutorial but it's up to You.

The reason I wrote this tutorial is that I don't see

many around if at all and thought I'd teach those

of You that would like to use Your wonderful digital

images that You take and can't use can display them

easily in a pretty Quick Page. I hope some of You

find this of use. So let's get started

Open Your images and template in psp and minimize the

images. When opening the template Your going to lag

just a bit as it is a big file. Shift +D and close the Original.

Go to Image Free rotate and choose left at 90 degrees and

all layers checked.

In Your layer palette click on the background layer and

from the kit open a paper and go to edit copy. Selections

Select all float . Selections defloat and then on the template

edit copy paste as a new layer. Selections select none.

Back on the template choose the gradient layer and

do the same steps as above with either the same paper

or another of Your choice.

On the photo layer if Your using an image go to selections

select all selections float selections defloat and paste it

as a new layer. If Your using a tube just do as We had

done above and then add Your tube as a new layer.

Selections select none.

Delete the layer that's up above this layer. On the word

background do as We did above using a paper of choice.

Then on the hearts layer go to Image Free Rotate and

choose right at 90 degree's all layers unchecked this

time.

With Your eye dropper tool use a light and dark color

for Your foreground and background. Now on the

template with the hearts layer go to selections select

all, selections float, selections defloat, layers new raster

layer. Go to Your material palette and choose a gradient

of Your choice from the two colors You chose. Flood fill

the new layer with the color and go to selections, select

none. Effects, Texture Effects, Blinds and use the following

settings or one's of Your choice width 2, opacity 15, color

black and both boxes checked.

On the text layer You can do this a few ways. You can colorize

it, use Your manual color correction or do it with the gradient

as We did above. So it's all up to You on this one. I chose the

manual color correction. When done go to the original grey

scaled hearts and delete the layer.

Now add any elements You want from the kit. You may

have to resize a bit so if you do go to image resize and make

sure all layers is unchecked and Your sizes should be in percent

not pixel. Give all Your layers a drop shadow of choice and any

other text You wish to add if You choose and save as png and

Your done. There is Your Quick Page.

Luv My Sista

I have made a tag for Ann at Addicted 2 Scraps with Her

kit called Luv My Sista. Just click on the title and You can

purchase it for Yourself.

previews and make em pretty LMAO

Sad News

I have some sad news for You all today. My friend's dad

passed away after a long fight with cancer yesterday afternoon

after having a seizure Friday night. He had just gone into remission

and contracted an infection and He slowly grew worst. Alot of You

know this friend. Her name is Lisa but goes by the name of

Aleah'sMommy. I am asking that if You can afford to help

out with a donation that it be sent to her email. I know the

medical bills for his cancer were astronomical and as We all

know the costs for funerals and arrangements will only triple

that bereavement upon this poor family. Her uncle is also

fighting cancer but isn't expected to make it much longer and

this is Her Dad's Brother so she's had one very very hard year.

You may send Your donations to hottlildevil110584@yahoo.com.

I think You from the bottom of My heart if You can help during

Lisa's time of need. This was an unexpected occurence by all

of Us as He was getting much better and healthier.

Open an new image 800x800. I know it's big but You can

crop or resize it later. Make sure it's transparent.

From the kit find a frame You like. Open it and go to

edit copy and edit paste as a new layer on Your

transparent image. If Your using the same kit

You'll have to resize the frame by 85 percent so to

to image resize all layers unchecked and resize it by

85 percent.

Now make sure the layer that You just did if You had a

missing piece go to layers merge down be sure either

one of the paper layers is chosen when You do the merge.

I had to resize it by 160 percent to go with the size of the

frame. Slide the tube under the frame layer and with

Your eraser tool erase any of the overlap.

Effects 3D Effects Drop Shadow vertical and horizontal 2

opacity 55 blur 10.00 and the color black.

Repeat this drop shadow with the horizontal and the vertical

set to 0.

that We like. I used a journal box that came inside

the kit and resized it a bit then erased the overlap once again

as We did our main tube. Give it the same drop shadow

with the 0 settings.

I added a word art and some leaves that came with the kit

and gave it the same drop shadows as above. I also

added Cindy's name to the tag. I used Fountain Pen and

as always created it as a vector and then converted it to a raster

layer and added a drop shadow to it. I also then added that

same drop shadow to My frame.

I added the artist's copyright and My license number and then

resized My tag to 500x500 pixels all layers checked and

merged visible. Save as png and Your all done.

I Make The Rules

Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow (optional text only).

This tag is made with two very special ladies that I have loved

dearly all My life. My Grandmother was diagnosed with

breast cancer before I was born and beat it. The odds back then

were very low compared to now. My Mother also was diagnosed with

breast cancer and had a masectomy. I almost lost Her not due to the cancer

itself but to infection afterwards. I have almost lost Her twice in My life

and I am just grateful to God and those that prayed for Her

recovery and Her inner stubborness because without that I don't think

She would have made out after the infection as well as She did.

I love You Mom.

For those of You that are still young please, please always do Your

examinations and get those Mammogram's. They are so important

and can detect the cancer in it's earliest stages.

My masks from elsewhere.

Now in Your layer palette delete the mask layer and

click on the other mask layer and merge group. Now

You just need to place all Your elements from the

Choose the tube layer and hit delete and then selections select none.

With Your eraser tool erase the excess that's on the edges of the frame and the overlap that's outside of it and on the leaves. Effects 3D effects drop shadow vertical and horizontal 2 opacity 40 blur 10.00. Begin to add Your elements. I added the lamp from the kit and resized it and erased the top just a bit to get the hook off so that it looked a little bit with the mask and then I gave it the same drop shadow as above. I also added some of the elements I liked and gave them all the same drop shadows. You could use brushes word art anything. The possibilities are so endless with this mask and tag so try to experiment and see what You like most.

Click on Your font tool and with the same colors You used before but set to regular choose the font that I supplied and type out Your name or whatever it is that You might be typing. I used size 75 vector and then changed it to a raster layer. Now You could also make the name rotate to go along the left side border but I chose not to this time. Give it the same drop shadow as before only change the blur to about 2 or so. Now copy and paste the copyright to Your tag and go to image resize by 55 percent or so and move it where it looks good to you. Now resize or crop Your image if needed and save as png and then Your done.
