Featured in the Poppytalk back-to-school market!

A few weeks ago I received an email from the owner of Poppytalk asking if I would like to be included in their back-to-school market. I jumped at the chance and have been working like a mad woman ever since! Click here to read more about it.

I have a lot of new things up in the shop, so go over and check them out. Don't forget to take advantage of my FREE SHIPPING back to school sale this month!

Quick Tip - Creative Text

I think we often under estimate the power of text. It can have a huge impact, if done right.

Consider the two examples below. . .
In the first example I clicked "Add Text," typed in "Happy Birthday," centered it, added color and I was done. In the second example I added each letter individually. This way I was able to use a variety of fonts, colors and angles, which really brought the text to life!

Scrapbook Factory Deluxe Tutorial: Working With Shapes - Part 1



Step #1: Click on "Drawing Tools" and select "Draw a Rectangle."
Step #2: Draw a Rectangle and double click on it.


Step #3: Select the shape you would like. For this tutorial I selected "Petal."


Step #4: Use the sliders to customize the shape to your liking. To customize your shape even more use the "Fill" and "Line" tabs that were explained in this tutorial.



Below you can see the various images I was able to create by simply following the 4 steps above.


The "shape function" is BY FAR my favorite Scrapbook Factory Deluxe function. I use it ALL of the time. This is where you can really put your creativity to work! I would love to hear about or see ways you use this function in your own work!

Sorry I have been MIA over here. I am working hard to prepare for the grand re-opening of my shop, which will probably occur in about a month. Please let me know if you have any Scrapbook Factory Deluxe questions. I feel like I have covered most of the basics, but I still have a few tutorials up me sleeve, so watch for those.

In the mean time enjoy these freebies gathered from around the web:
