Template 6 of "Tell the Story" series

One week till Christmas!  Hope you're all ready and relaxing and enjoying each day.  I just got back from our annual gingerbread house building - this is about the 25th annual one!

Here's the 6th and final template in the "Tell the Story" series.  I won't be making any more in this series, at least for now, but I have a new series that is almost complete and will be available soon. It's called "Tabbed Notebook".

Tell the Story 5

Hi everyone!

Here is Tell the Story template #5. (one more to go in this series but see below).

Is anybody using these templates?  I was thinking of possibly creating more so that they could be used to create a 20-page storybook (photobook).  Interested?  Let me know - leave me a comment - if enough people are interested, I'll keep on making them.

Did you have fun on Digital Scrapbooking Day?  I didn't get any scrapbooking done but had fun surfing the web and seeing what was going on.

I did scrapbook the previous weekend, and got my Creative Memories calendar done.  I just love the CM calendars,  they have perforated pages so that at the end of the year you have 12 layouts that you can just slip into an album.  And they are great quality!  Did I say that I love 'em??

I also made a 5x7 album in a couple of hours - Storybook Creator really helps me to scrapbook FAST - as well as 15 pages of a 12x12 Storybook which I completed in one morning.  Love how I can get so much done so much faster with Storybook.



Tell the Story 4 Template freebie and a bit on sharing.....

Just completed converting Tell the Story 4 for Storybook.  Included in the Storybook version are some elements (embellishments) created by me, just so you know they're legal for me to share!

Speaking of sharing,  while my templates are free, please do not send them on to others. Instead, direct them here to my blog to get them.  You may not re-distribute my creations, even though they are free.  Also, if people come here to download them I can see how much interest there is, the more interest there is, the more sharing there will be!

A bit about shadows.  Try to make your shadows look realistic.  I see a lot of shadows, especially amongst Storybook users, that are way too heavy and make the items look like they are floating above the page.  

Think about whether or not the item casts a shadow, and how much of a shadow.  Test it out in real life.  For example, text on a page does not cast a shadow at all! Stickers would cast a light shadow, and chipboard a heavier one. Questions?  Feel free to comment below.  

Grandkids!

Thanks for being patient with me... I'm going to get to the rest of those templates, I promise! 

But right now, I have a "grandkids" word art for you.  It measures about 6x6, and is great for putting behind a photo or two of your grandkids.

Storybook users - you can use this element too!

Tell the Story template 3 - for Storybook and Photoshop

Long time no see!  But I'm back with the third template in the Tell the Story series.

Here's the STORYBOOK version:

and here it is for Photoshop. 

Hope it was worth the wait!

2nd Tell the Story template - for Photoshop & Storybook Creator

Summer, beautiful summer!  I love it.  I've been busy cooking and cleaning and picking berries, and going to movies, and walking, and all the things I like to do but don't have enough time for when I'm working.  Do I really have to go back to work at the end of August??  AH........

Here's the 2nd Tell the Story template.  Thanks for all the kind comments - I really appreciate it.

Here is the link for the photoshop version shown above:

I wish there was a better rounded rectangle for storybook, this is the best I can do at the moment. If anyone has a rounded rectangle for photos, or knows how to make one (other than the tutorial on the CM site - that doesn't really do what I want it to), I would appreciate it!

You can DOWNLOAD for storybook here.

Remember when?

I have some word art for you today.  It's called "Remember When".  Do you remember when I last posted to this blog - it's been over a month!  Yikes! I was very busy at work the last few weeks and now I'm off for the summer, and trying to catch up on all the things that get dropped like housework, and trying new recipes, and shopping - I don't like shopping. Yesterday being a case in point - it took 3 hours to find a wastebasket and a towel rack, and I didn't get even get to the cork board or fly swatter...... ACK!!!

Anyway, I've done the word art in both a grungy and sentimental style.  They are in png format, and can be used in both Storybook Creator and Photoshop/Photoshop Elements (and likely other programs as well...) Both styles are in the zip.

Here is the link to DOWNLOAD. Enjoy.  Please leave comments. It's nice to feel appreciated....
