November Scrapbook Download News

Categories: Scrapbook Articles, Site Information.

Hello Scrapbook Member,

You are going to love what we have been up do the last few weeks.  REALLY!

So with no further adue…

Let's start off with something for everyone.  I just put a brand new mini-page on and it's all ready for downloading on our PrincessCrafts digital scrapbook homepage. No signups or hassels, just head on over and get it. It's a great winter time photo greeting page and should be perfect for you to use to send photo greetings to your family and friends.

For our 8.5×11 and 12×12 members – Your End of the Month additions:

I've replaced the entire first page of the animal category in the Soft Expressions (Computer Scrapbook Layouts) 8.5×11 and the Printable Pastels 12×12 areas of the sites with all new sets.

I've also added totally new Landscape paper sets for the Animal, Halloween and Thanksgiving categories under the Scrapbook of a Lifetime members area of the site.  All our platinum and gold members have instant access to the new sets.

With that I also replaced the 2 metal charm aqlphabets (Gold and Silver versions) on PC Scrapbook-Elements area with new versions. I also added to the brand new letter category with 21 6-piece sets of Gold Alph Letter Words.

I know, that's a mouth full, but it's some really great elements for you to use to create titles and phrases of your own with.

What's next to be removed and replaced…

I will be replacing the Halloween and Thanksgiving category for the Soft Expressions and Printable Pastels members areas the end of November. So, if there are any of those scrapbook page templates you want and didn't download yet, go get them now.

As part of our site consolidation and updates, we'll be totally closing down the Scrapbook Kits -n- Bits (not a part of any membership currently) site.  Most of it's parts and pieces will be slowly added to our PC-ScrapbookElements members area.

We'll also be adding some new A4 versions of our 1-Computer-Stationery in the coming weeks so our European friends won't have to do miss out. 

That's it my Scrapbook friend.  Feel free to let us know if you need anything or if you have any problems with the sites.

Oh, one last quick note:

We are moving some of the public sites to more secure servers, so you may see some short drops in availability this next week.  They should be short in duration if you see any at all.

Happy Scrappin'

Hello Scrapbook Friend,

You are going to love this!

Before I get to all the new free digital scrapbook / stationery content, let me briefly cover all the new stuff Kathy has added to the members area AND the stuff you need to get now, before it GOES AWAY!

First, Kathy will be replacing the entire animal category for Soft Expressions and Printable Pastels. These will be replaced with totally new papers in our newer .png format. That starts happening the 1st of November, so get any of the old papers you want now

Next, Kathy is going to totally remove all the mini 4×6 pages starting 1 Nov, 2009.  They are in the old .gif format which no longer meets our high standards of quality artwork.  She'll replace them eventually, but that will be some time down the road.  Again, if you want any of the mini 4×6 card/scrapbook templates, get them now in your members area.

Lastly…

Kathy will be removing all the old gif landscapes papers at the end of the month along with all the Scrapbook of a Lifetime templates.  She will begin adding new high quality .png format landscape papers in their place for all our members.

Kathy has already removed the old .gif formatted alphabet sets and replaced them with the new high quality .png format.  Download your new Autumn and Halloween alphabets now in the Hi-Resolution Elements area of your members area.

Now, for all the new FREE Content News

       REALLY BIG NEWS:       

We are replacing all the FREE Computer Scrapbooking 101 Mini-Course Scrapbook Template Paper Downloads with the new High Quality .PNG formatted pages.  The only templates not replaced are the couple that are used in the course itself.  We'll get to updating the actual course and it's samples soon.

Look for then new and improved free scrapbook sample templates to be there by the 25th of October, 2009 at: www.ComputerScrapbookTraining.com.

Kathy has also just added:

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’

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

Adobe PhotoShop Secrets… Excerpt

Posted on March 16th, 2009 by wwaddell.
Categories: Scrapbook Articles, Scrapbook Tips, Training.

Hi Digital Scrapbook Friend,

Kathy just put her latest eBook – PhotoShop Secrets: How to Get Great at PhotoShop – onto the internet yesterday.  I thought the I would post an excerpt from one of the chapters here for you so you can see just how really great this book is.

PhotoShop Secrets:

…

Using PhotoShop Selection Techniques

When you use selection techniques, essentially you are setting apart a portion of an image so that you can make changes to it.  Or you may want to include that portion with other images.  That portion is considered a selection. 

With the selection, you can still utilize the tools used to edit images and other commands.  The selection portion is protected and is considered a “mask”.  This part of the image is protected in Photoshop.  You will see an outline of the selection on the screen. 

Using a selection tool icon, you can make a selection.  Whatever tool you will be using will be in the Options bar.  Use Windows and Options if you don’t see t hem.  You will not see all of the tools right away.  You may have to click on some tools in order to see the ones that are hidden.

Use the Ctrl-H function to show and hide the selection outline.  Using Select, then Inverse will make the selection inverted.  If you wish to reverse the selection, choose Select>None.  To save a selection, choose Select, then Save Selection. 

If you need to include more on a current selection, use the Shift key.  To remove from a current selection, use the Alt key.  If you need to add more to a current selection because of color, choose Select, then Similar.

If you need to move a selection or part of it, use the move tool and drag it to where you want it.

If you want to feather a selection, use the Feather checkbox.  Using this will allow your selection to look softer.

——————————————————————————————-

Now, how easy was that to follow?  The eBook is just chocked full of tips like this one and can make learning PhotoShop as easy as step… one… two… three!
