Mask series - Template #2

Well, I am off this afternoon for a scrapbooking weekend to our cabin.  This has become an annual tradition (anything done more than twice counts as a tradition, right?!)  I actually can't remember how many years we've been doing this.  This year there will be four of us.

Unfortunately, the forecast doesn't look good, but then I guess we will get more scrapbooking done, and perhaps less whale-watching, seal pup observing, and oyster catcher photographing.....


Just another quick sample of what it looks like with photos inserted.  The spatter can be filled with paper, or color, or whatever you like, and of course, you'll likely want a background other than white.

Here's the DOWNLOAD.

New template series - Masked


Started a new series of templates.  There are lots of fun things you can do with the large photo masks on each of these templates.  Try the various blend modes to blend your photo in with the background.  Cross process can be fun too.  Use a textured paper as your background paper.
Here's just a quick look at the first one with photos added. Note: All I did was add photos, no background papers or proper journalling........


 And the template itself:


I am planning to do more Storybook templates in the future, but this series will be just for Photoshop. I just got a trial version of CS5 and want to PLAY!!  I just finished teaching a two-session class on photo-fixing, and both students had CS5.  Must keep up!

You can download it HERE.

Tabbed Template #12 - last in the series

It's been quite a week here in B.C.  First of all, our beloved Canucks lost the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins in game 7.  But far worse than that was the riot that happened. Just want you to know that 99.9% of Canadians are not like that.  It was shocking and apalling and has really damaged our reputation, but I hope most people will see it for what it was - the criminal element taking advantage of a huge crowd.  So sad!

We made it! This is the last in the Tabbed series of templates. 
My brain is cooking up a new series which I'll hopefully get time to work on soon. Stay tuned!

Tabbed 10

Thanks for all your comments.  I really do appreciate them.  It's just nice to know there are people out there who not only download the templates, but will take a moment to give me feedback. 

And just a reminder that you can use the buttons below to post to your Facebook, etc. if you are a member of a scrapbooking group....
So here is the next template in the series - #10 - this is the left side of the two-page spread, template #4 would be the right side.


Here is the link for PHOTOSHOP
and here is the link for STORYBOOK

Tabbed #9

Here is Tabbed #9 - the left side of the two-page spread (right side is Tabbed #3)

I'm not sure whether I will continue with Storybook templates after this series as there haven't been a lot of downloads.   If you're a Storybook user, and have friends who use Storybook, be sure to steer them this way for the download. Don't share the files themselves - unless you come to the blog to download them yourself, it looks as though not very many people are finding them useful.....  Just saying...

Photoshop version

Tabbed #8

Here you go - this is Tabbed #8, which is the left side of a two page spread.  The matching right side is Tabbed #2 - still available, as are all the other tabbed templates.

I would love to see what you're doing with these templates, if you'd care to share a link. You can email me HERE
Also, let me know what you would like to see in the way of templates or word art. I don't have time to make full kits right now, but templates and word art I can fit in.
