Friday Flair

I was looking through the Becky Young Designs gallery at Stuff to Scrap and there are some amazing layouts there. I want to just show you a few that stood out.

Here is one by hripp using my "Fresh" kit.

And here is one by camijo also using my "Fresh" kit.

Aren't these both just gorgeous!! Such great inspiration.

Happy Friday!

Quick Page Exchange

I am hosting the Quick Page Exchange Challenge over at Stuff To Scrap this month. This is such a fun challenge. You create a quick page with my "Fresh" kit, email it to me and at the end of the month everyone gets all of the quick pages made. I think I already have about 15 pages and it's only half way through the month, so you will be getting A LOT of quick pages with this fun kit if you participate.

Here is the kit that we are using for the challenge.

And, it's 25% off in my store this whole month so you have no excuse to not participate!!

Grab it in my store here. Can't wait to see your quick pages!!

Using a Stroke on Your Titles

Recently I have really been into making the titles on my layouts stand out. I have found myself using a font and the using a stroke on it to make it stand out even more. If you don't know what a stroke is, it's just a border all around your item with the color of your choice. Check out these layouts to see what I mean:

This is a layout I did with the "Graduation Day" kit from Scraps n' Pieces. I typed the word graduation in a teal color and then did a white stroke around the whole thing and It really makes the word stand out.

Here is another layout I did using "Her Birthday Surprise" by HD Creations. I did a stroke on the words "Happy Birthday" in this layout. I love how it makes the words pop out.

Here are the steps to use a stroke in PSE:

1. Type your title in your color and font of choice.

2. Simply this text layer. (Layer>Simplify Layer)

3. Apply the stroke to the layer. (Edit>Stroke (Outline) Selection)

4. Choose the color of the stroke, the size and the location. Click OK.

Friday Flair

When I digital scrapbook I usually like to try and fit about 3 photos on a page so I'm not accumulating millions of scarpbook pages. Don't get me wrong I like a good 1 photo layout but most of the time I like to put more photos on a page. Check out some awesome layouts from the Becky Young Desings gallery using 3 photos:

This one is by ljacobsen and uses my "June Color Challenge" mini kit freebie.

This one is by bmrunt and uses my "Beach Cruisin" kit.

And this one is by mdkscrapper and uses my "May Flowers" kit.

Aren't all of these layouts just gorgeous!?!
