How To…
Use the New Blend Modes in Digital Scrapbook Artist 2

With Valentine’s Day approaching and birthdays occurring throughout the year, we thought we’d show you how to use the new blend mode feature on your homemade greetings cards. Blend modes define how two objects or layers interact with each other and by using them you can achieve stunning results quickly and with ease.

The card below was made using Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 and we are going to complete it by applying blend modes to the two photos. We have used the same photo twice to show you how different blend modes affect the same object depending on what it is blended with.

Scrapbook


1. Click on the top photo and then select the Luminosity blend mode (the blend modes are located in the Color tab). The picture will take on the color of the layer below; in this case, it’s pink.

2. Click on the second photo and select the Hard Light blend mode. The photo will take on the texture of the background making it look like the photo is actually printed on the material.

Blend modes are a powerful design tool and can be used in many ways to make your creations look fantastic.

Creating Beautiful Keepsakes is Easy!

Posted on December 28th, 2009 by admin.
Categories: My Thoughts, Scrapbook Ad, Scrapbook Articles, Training.

Dear Scrapbook Friend,

Create beautiful keepsakes and preserve your most treasured Christmas memories…

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and that you’ve got some memorable family photographs capturing the festivities. With the post Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza clean up in full swing, it’s easy to get caught up in the cleaning and simply file pictures away in a box or on your hard drive. 

How much is forgotten and lost when you do that?

Why not simply preserve your memories by creating an easy, no mess, digital scrapbook or Christmas memory book.  It’s perfectto share with your loved ones or give as a New Year gift?

Shouldn’t preserving your families most treasured memories be part of your new years resolution?

As a valued PrincessCrafts Member, you can download all the scrapbook page templates, digital elements and embellishments you need… They’re all included in your Platinum or Gold membership at no additional charge.

No limits, no days of wasted time searching for the right page and most of all, no mess to clean up or time wasted waiting for glue to dry. 

You are also saving loads of money as compared to the old fashioned out of date hand scrap methods.  Digital Scrapbook pages can cost as little as 50 cents including printing and even cost less than 50 cents to put your entire memory book on a CD or DVD. Hand scrapped pages cost more than $2.00 for just a simple page with nothing but the photos and some small elements on them.

… OH THE MESS!

Remember the mess it makes to hand scrap?  How about the huge input of time and money to put just one page together? Whole rooms of space needed for storage, tools, cutters, and other expensive equipment… What about the damage the dimensional elements, frames and stones do to your finished book in a very short amount of time? What if you make a mistake? How much does that cost the hand scrapper?

I could go on and on, but the fact is, you know why hand scrapping is so difficult and why you never want to start another project.

Digital scrapbooking has none of the problems associated with out dated hand scrapping processes. Digital takes up no space (your computer is already there), digital makes no mess, digital needs no expensive tools or equipment, digital can be started and stopped at any time and picked back up when time allows again.  Digital is cheap and elements and templates can be used over and over and over again, combined and redesigned. Digital can be mass produced with just the touch of the print button and digital scrapbooking can be viewed on large movie screens or mailed on CD/DVD.  Digital scrapbooks can include sound, music and even the voices of loved ones.  Digital scrapbooks can be made into true hardbound books.

Hand scrapped pages can do none of this!

Digital scrapbooking is really very easy and entire memory books and even wedding albums can be created in a weekend of free time.  You don’t need months to create a scrapbook with digital scrapbooking techniques.  Programs like Serif’s digital scrapbooking Artist or Indigo Rose’s Scrapbook Max allows anyone to create outstanding designs with all the style, texture and charm of a an old fashioned traditional scrapbook – digitally!

Whether you celebrated a baby’s first Christmas, captured the joy on the face of a child opening a much desired Kwanza gift, or took some great group Hanukkah photos of family and friends enjoying their time together, Digital Scrapbooking can help you transform your images into beautiful holiday scrapbook pages. You can then share them digitally – online and via email – or as printed cards and scrapbooks that will be cherished in the New Year and generations beyond.

Why scrapbook digitally?

Old Fashioned Time Consuming Traditional Scrapbooking is the art of preserving moments and memories, by capturing photos, memorabilia and stories in a visually rich, textured album, and enhancing your photos with dimensional embellishments such as ribbons, buttons and stitches. Digital Scrapbook software lets you do exactly that, but on your computer with no mess, no expensive tools and in a small fraction of the time!

Thanks to Digital Scrapbook techniques, you can store your most treasured family moments as stunning digital scrapbook memory pages that look just like the old expensive hand scrapped pages, but without the cost, time or the mess associated with out of date scrapbook processes!

Plus, with Digital Scrapbooking, sharing your precious memories is easier than ever before too, thanks to its range of flexible printing and sharing options not available to hand scrappers. Why not publish your finished scrapbook on our very own free scrapbooking community or web page and show off your treasured moments for all your friends and family to enjoy all over the world?

How about having your memories bound in a real hard bound book, complete with full color custom cover that you design?  You can easily and for less cost than if you had hand scrapped the pages and put them in a glued together cloth covered 3 ring binder. 

Whether you’ve considered scrapbooking before and decided it’s too expensive or time consuming, or even if you’ve never heard of scrapbooking and are not sure if it’s for you, we’re convinced when you’ve tried Digital Scrapbooking you won’t look back, and you’ll agree that it offers the best way to store and share your most treasured family memories.

Best of all, if you are anything like me, digital lets you create pages even if you have a handicap or when arthritis makes it hard to move your hands and fingers.  I even had my best handwriting made into a digital font so I can type my journaling notes and still have it in my own hand written style. 

You sure can’t do that with hand scrapped pages!

Best Digital Scrapbook Site

Posted on March 28th, 2009 by .
Categories: My Thoughts, Scrapbook Ad, Site Information.

Kathy,

Just a quick note to say what an amazing offer you have for your members at Princess Crafts.

This is the best website I have found for digital scrapping, the great part about it is access to so many websites under one umbrella site.  It makes everything so easy to find and use. I have been making pages now more than ever before as we have a new addition to the family (baby granddaughter) and your pages make it even faster to complete a page in shorter time. I love the information you send out and appreciate the warm welcome I received when I joined. I know that any problems, questions or concerns will be dealt with quickly with no hassles.

Keep up the great job as I know this is one company I will be recommending to any scrapbookers I know.

Regards

Intro to The EZ Scrapbooking Guide

Posted on October 17th, 2007 by wwaddell.
Categories: Scrapbook Ad, Scrapbook Tips, Training.

Hi Scrapbook Friend,

I thought that you might want to read the introduction to our new book “The EZ Scrapbooking Guide” that we just made available for download yesterday at: www.EZScrapbookGuide.com.

The EZ Scrapbooking Guide Introduction:

Scrapbooking is the number one fastest growing hobby in households across the world today. Young and old alike are creating beautiful albums to preserve their memories and capture the emotions of the moment forever.

Mothers and their “sometimes hard to reach” teen daughters, are finding it not only a great mother/daughter activity, but a great way of communicating and sharing life’s stories and events with each other. Whole families are rediscovering the joy of story telling and communicating with each other again.

There are many different techniques and styles to use with your scrapbook and photos. We’ll be discussing and comparing the most common two techniques… “Old” traditional hand scrapped pages and the ”New” fast growing digital or computer scrapbooks.

Although this hobby can be quite expensive there are many resources in this book to help you save time and money. These new digital scrapbook methods can save you a fortune.

Scrapbooking really is for everyone, even if you have a full time job and a family to look after. Even dads are getting into the hobby since it now includes the family computer and technology. What could be manlier than computers and gadgets?

We’ll even look at ways to finish scrapbook pages in minutes instead of hours or even days. We’ll show you how you can start/stop at the drop of a hat and finish pages with just 15 minutes here and there. It’s the truth… Scrapbooking can be a great way to ease your stress while giving you the pride of creating a true family treasured masterpiece to enjoy for generations to come.

After all, how else are you going to capture not only the photographic memories, but the emotions and feelings of that moment in time as well? Only a scrapbook can do both.

At times, you will find that I am quite prejudice and totally prefer the new digital scrapbook techniques since you can do so much more with them than just put them in a book. And, you will never save more than you do with a digital scrapbook. The old traditional hand scrapped methods take 10 times longer to create and cost a lot more to produce, especially if you need multiple copies.

That said, I’ll do my best to give you both sides of the story and let you make the correct decision for what is right for you and your tastes. Besides, it doesn’t have to be an all or nothing proposition… you can always combine the two to get just the scrapbook page you want and at a price in both time and money that you can afford.

All that said, let’s get started.
