Scrapbooking Tips Tuesday Again

Tips for Scrapbookers Block

Here’s a couple of ideas I use all the time when I’m finding it hard to find idea’s for my digital scrapbook pages.

First, I turn on memory music.  What’s memory music?  That’s the music you hear that floods your mind with memories of the past.  It’s also music that makes you think about the subject you are trying to scrap.  For example: I put on 70s ballads when I’m scrapping Valentines Day pages as this brings my dating years to mind and makes it easy to envision love themes.

Even Christmas music in March works wonders for my Holiday photo themes from the last Christmas.  You may want to try a few Celtic tunes for St. Patrick’s Day.

If that doesn’t get your ideas flowing, then the step 2 I use is the Blank Page Shuffle.

All I do is to lay out a couple blank white sheets of paper either on the table (for hand scrappers) or on the computer screen when digital scrapping.  Then I take 4 to 8 photos that go together and start arranging them on the pages until they look right and flow with the eye.  Once they do that, it’s easy to add small elements and some color until I like the finished look.

Some times the simplest look is the best look for the memory story you are trying tell.

Happy Scrapbook Tips Tuesday.  Hope these two scrapbook theme generating ideas get your creative juices flowing again.

Until next time…

PrincessCrafts Scrapbooks – Short History of The Teddy Bear

Short History of The Teddy Bear

Hello Scrapbook Friend,

Today I thought I would tell you the short but wonderful history of the Teddy Bear.  I personally didn’t know the details until just recently.  It’s really a story of things that were just meant to be.

Before I get there though, Kathy wants me to let you know what’s going on in our Scrapbook Members areas and what new freebies we’ve got for you this month.

First, let’s go over what’s new in your Scrapbook Members areas:

Kathy has added

1 New Halloween Alphabet Tag set
6 New Halloween Tag Card sets

6 New Autumn Scrapbook Page Template Sets
3 Black & White Scrapbook Page Template Sets (Misc. Category)

6 Grunge and 6 Halloween Scrapbook Template Sets to each of the 8.5×11, 12×12 and Landscape (Scrapbook of a Lifetime areas

Your October 2010 Freebies:

Brand New 2011 Photo Calendars are on the http://www.freescrapbooktraining.com/ site

Kathy has also added a new Autumn mini-scrap page for you to download at www.PrincessCrafts.com

OK, enough boring/exciting news (depending on your point of view), let’s get to the Teddy Bears…

Short History of The Teddy Bear

In 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt was in Mississippi to settle a border dispute between Louisiana and Mississippi he went on a hunting trip. Members of the hunting party tied a small, black bear cub to a tree for him to shoot. Seeing how helpless the small bear was he refused.

The next day cartoonist, Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon depicting Roosevelt refusing to shoot the bear. This prompted a shopkeeper, Morris Michtom, to ask his wife, Rose, to make a fabric stuffed toy bear to place in his shop window. Morris Michtom contacted the President (which was much easier to so back then) and asked his permission to name the stuffed bear, Teddy. Of course the president agreed and the very first Teddy Bear was born.

At the same time in Germany, a company owned by Margarete Steiff, was beginning to manufacture a stuffed bear of it’s own. This was the first time that stuffed toy bears were introduced to the world.

From there the popularity of the teddy bear grew quickly. Today almost all children have had a teddy bear at one time or another. You easily find toy manufacturers, teddy bear artists, and stores selling teddy bears of all shapes and sizes. We love them on our scrapbooks, in our journaling pages and on our stationeries.

The history of the teddy bear is quite a wonderful and heartwarming story. Just think of how many thousands of teddy bears have been loved and held by children who considered them a best friend, confidant, protector, and childhood adventure companion, it is no wonder they are still the most popular soft toy in the world today.

======================================================

That’s all we have for you for this month.  Just wait and see what we are working on for November… you are going to just love it.

So until next time, Happy Scrappin’

Kathy and Wes

March Scrapbook and Free Stationery News

Sorry it’s been so long since my last news.  Kathy’s been so very busy this last month adding to what is already the largest digital scrapbook membership site on the internet.

She really wants everyone to get many times over what they get at any other scrapbook site and pay a fraction of the costs.  I hope what follows shows you she’s keeping her promises.

In just the last month, she has added the following:

  • 5 new heart sets
  • 6 sets of Sweet Words in the valentines category
  • 3 new winter stationeries in A4 format as well as 8.5x format
  • critters 75 thru 80
  • St Partick’s Day sets 34 thru 39
  • We will also be adding the St. Patrick’s sets to the landscape section the middle of March
  • Valentines page 3 – which includes Valentines sets 49 thru 57
  • Animals page 2 – Including Critters sets 75 thru 80
  • St. Patricks page 1 – Added sets 34 thru 39
  • Added 3 new FREE Valentines Day stationery in both A4 and 8.5x format

  • Replaced all Thanksgiving and New Years sets for Printable pastels

 

That’s just the month of February…

If you are a member or just here for the FREE goodies, thanks for reading and I hope you’ll go get and enjoy you new scrapbook and stationery pages.

For those of you that are not members yet…

That’s a whole lot of scrapbook pages.  Now, I’m not going to say that we do that every month, but I will say that we add as much new stuff as Kathy can produce.  I can also say that no other site and no other membership adds anywhere close to the amounts of new scrapbook page sets and FREE downloads as we do.

That’s added to the more than 5000 scrapbook page templates and hundreds of clipart’s and books and training and …

In short, if you aren’t a member, how much money are you wasting with other scrapbook stores?

Times are tough, we know.  We also know that memories are fleeting and can disappear in a heartbeat.  Time and money are both in short supply right now.  Digital scrapbooking solves both those problems by costing pennies compared to the old hand scrap process and enabling you to preserve your most treasured memories in just minutes a day.

Best of all you can start and stop at the drop of a hat with no mess and no full room of supplies needed, saving your marriage and hundreds of dollars in wasted tools, cutters and other expensive supplies you will never recoup the cost of.

We hope you’ll consider joining the Internet’s Largest Digital Scrapbook Membership today.

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.

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.

Luminosity blend

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.

Hard Light blend

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