MAKE A GRID-BASED DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK PAGE
Design by Amber Ries
Amber combined elements in soft, distressed colors to record the memory of her daughter’s love affair with a favorite toy.
- Create a new 12x12” canvas in your photo-editing software. Insert a dark background or create your own. Use the rectangle tool to create six boxes to house photos and journaling. Each box will be on its own layer.
- Create clipping masks by dragging photos and digital papers onto your background, moving them a layer above the rectangle you’d like each to fill and using the command CTRL+ALT+G (or CTRL+G in Adobe Photoshop Elements).
- Insert text boxes for your title and journaling. Insert a title image near the bottom right of the scrapbook page and a flower border on the left. Add drop shadows to all elements for realism.
SOURCES Software: Adobe Photoshop CS2. Fonts: Jane Austen (title), Pea Johanna (journaling), and 1942 Report (“Live, Love, Laugh”) off the Internet. Digital elements Streetwear Kits by Tracy Ann Robinson.
