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

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.

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.

Hello Scrapbook Friend,

We have some more free stationery and/or digital scrapbook background downloads for you today with no strings attached at all.

It’s the new year, so I’ve got some New Years digital stationeries in both 8.5×11 and A4 sizes.

http://www.1-computer-stationery.com/stationery_template_papers/A4/New_Years/new-years-1.html  

http://www.1-computer-stationery.com/stationery_template_papers/holiday_stationery_papers/new_years/newyears_stationery_papers_2.htm  

I know the links are long, but I wanted to send you right to the page so you didn’t have to go looking for them.

If you have any problems with the links, just go to www.Free-Stationery.com and use the menu’s to get to the New Years category.

What else is new?

For our Gold and Platinum Members, I just added some New Scrapbook Elements:

9 new alphabet tag letter sets
1 new sticker set
1 new mini-frame sticker set

Just log into your Members Home page and use the recently added page to go right to them.

If you aren’t a member yet, you are spending way too much on your scrapbooking supplies and wasting hours upon hours searching for just the right templates. PrincessCrafts is the first and largest digital scrapbook membership site on the Internet today. We are also the least expensive… so why would you go anywhere else?

Before I go, I have just one more quick note:

I will be replacing the Valentines category on Soft Expressions and Printable Pastels at the end of January 2010. Get the originals while you still can.

Happy New Year Wes,

Kathy & Wes

PrincessCrafts Monthly Digital Scrapbook News

Posted on September 30th, 2009 by admin.
Categories: Site Information, Training.

Welcome to PrincessCrafts Digi-Scrap News.

Yes, as always, I’ve been very busy creating new digital scrapbook template downloads and scrapbook elements.  We have been the camp host at Lake Easton State Park in Washington State now all month.  The fall colors are coming out and it’s got me thinking about harvest, halloween and the upcoming holiday season. 

I’m not yet ready for the colder weather, but at the same time I’m really excited about the coming holidays and the time with family and friends.  What about you, are you ready for the colder weather?  Have you got your gift list started for the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza season?  I know that from personal experience that if you plan early, then there’s not the last minute rush and associated stress that comes with it.

I’ve already started on my scrapbook, memory book, vacation memory book and storybook scrapbooks that I’m giving this year. 

With that in mind, I wanted to let you know that some of the digital scrapbook templates are going to dissappear from our members areas to be replaced by new higher quality digi-scrap template downloads.

1. I’m replacing all the landscape format pages starting in October 2009.
2. Scrapbook of a Lifetime is dissappearing completely and new touch of color templates are going into the 8.5×11 and 12×12 areas.
3. Our mini-scrapbook pages are also going away and finding new ones showing up in the other members areas.
4. Last, but not least, all of our FREE scrapbook templates for the Computer Scrapbooking 101 course are being replaced with the new higher quality .png format papers.

It’s time we finish bringing all 9 of the scrapbook websites that we have into the main members areas so that things are easier to find and much less confusing to our new members. 

By the way, if you have ideas on how to better arrange the menu’s or of digital scrapbook themes that you want to see, we would love to hear from you.  After all, it’s your site and you should get a say in how it looks and works… don’t you think?

NEW FREE SCRAPBOOK CONTENT:

I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks adding more free stuff to the public sites. 

If you’ve been keeping up, you already know about the 2010 Photo Calendar template downloads at: www.FREEScrapbookTraining.com that we updated last month.

This month I’ve started adding brand new .png format scrapbook page toppers all over www.PrincessCrafts.com and www.1-computer-scrapbook.com, our main 8.5×11 & 12×12 sites.  All you need to do is to browse through the template thumbnails and you’ll find the new toppers right there on the pages.  Just click on them to download to your computer.  Compatible with both PC and Mac’s. I’m just getting started, so check back at least weekly to see all the new ones.

Note: Paid Members will find them all located in their Bonus section of their members areas in one place.  After all, Membership does have it’s privileges.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this, I really do know how valuable your time is during these busy days of the year.  Your time and your support are greatly appriciated.

Just one last note before  I let you go.  If you are looking for a really great gift for your family or friends for the holidays… you really need to check out our www.TwasTheNightScrapbook.com Twas the Night Before Christmas Story Book Scrapbook.  It’s in it’s 3rd year now and makes one of the most treasured gifts you will ever give.  Take just a couple of minutes and see for yourself… we even used it to create the video story read by our two oldest granddaughters on www.PrincessCrafts.com.  Priceless is the word that best fits this gift.

That’s all I have for you right now.  Drop me a line or a BLOG comment and let me know how you are doing from time to time. 

Until next time, Happy Scrappin’

Printable Stickers and Photo Art

Posted on July 18th, 2009 by admin.
Categories: Site Information, Training.

Hi Scrapbook Friend,

Like we said in our newsletter… Lots has been added to our 8.5×11 and 12×12 members areas and to the no cost areas as well in the last month or two.

First off, Kathy has added New elements categories for you. 5 sets of Block Words and 12 sets of printable stickers photo art (both in their own new categories) have been added as of the end of June. Kathy has also added Added 6 new Patriotic sets and 6 new Summer scrapbook page sets.

Before I give you the link and you head off to check them out…

BIG NOTE: We will be replacing all the background, summer, spring, wedding and animal categories that are in the old gif format with new papers in our new updated png format. Look for those to start appearing next week and we’ll be totally done by the end of August. They won’t be exactly the same, so if you want the current designs… get them before they are gone!

Now, here’s the link to sign into your Members Home page to get the new sets: Digital Scrapbook Members Areas

Not a member yet… you can still see what’s new by checking out the thumbnail images at: www.PrincessCrafts.com for 8.5×11 and www.1-Computer-Scrapbook.com for the 12×12 digi-pages.

FREE for everyone…  Kathy has also added 3 new summer time digital stationeries (or digi-scrap backgrounds) to the stationery site at:

www.FREE-Stationery.com

For last month, we also added 6 new sets of Fathers Day or Dad’s Day scrapbook templates, 6 new two page layout sets for Spring – all in both 12×12 and 8.5×11 size formats.

We are also getting ready to put our prices back to normal instead of the almost 30% off that they are now.  We told you that we couldn’t afford to keep them that low forever!  So, if you want to save even more on your scrapbooks than you do already by getting unlimited access through a membership rather than paying for sets individually… do it now!

Before the price goes up again.

Until next time,

Kathy & Wes
