Digital Scrapbooking Journal - Part Eighteen

More Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Friday, June 27: Winter Homework Assignment

I realized I have been giving full credit for all the Scrap Girls products I've used in my homework assignments, but forgot to tell you what program I used!

All these layouts were done with Photoshop. Mea culpa Adobe!

This layout was pure fun. The picture, though not digital, was taken only 12 years ago with a pretty good camera. It's of my DH after shoveling snow for the last time! The journaling says, "No more Snow Days ... Our Last Winter in New Jersey ... 1996".

It uses the Dynamic Brushes, EdgeIt Actions and Stitching Holes and Styles which were the focus of the Dynamic Stitching class and the following Scrap Girls products:

• Glitzy Christmas paper, Glittered Edge Transparency and Glittered Jelly Style by Amanda Sok;
• Photo frame and scalloped paper from Syndee Nuckles' French Market collection;
• Candy Stripe paper by Amanda McGee;
• Fabric texture by Erica Hite;
• One snowflake by Brandy Hackman and another I found in the Scrap Girls collaborative kit "12 days of Christmas";
• The snowflake medallion frame with my DH putting the snow blower away for the last time was a Christmas 2007 gift from Scrap Girls

The class was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about our teacher, graphic designer, Katherine Weaver. I expected to learn how to use the dynamic stitching tools which Scrap Girls creates and sells; but learned oh so much more.

I'm still plodding my way through the WOW Photoshop book I bought last year.

It's a really great book but I'm a slow reader. I bet if I had Katherine personally tutoring me, I could learn much more quickly. I'm a slow reader but a quick learner-by-doing.
