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.

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

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:

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

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
