I'm a big fan of Ali Edwards, a scrapbooker who is doing a lot of digital work these days. I can't afford to buy all the templates and elements she sells so I often create my own versions of her designs. She recently published a page that I liked and I wanted to "scraplift" it (that's what scrapbookers say instead of "copying").
Here's Ali's page:
Here's mine:
My page was made using Creative Memories' Scrapbook Creator Plus 3. This is a bit of a diversion for me. I usually make my pages in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, however, the upgrade to Scrapbook Creator was on sale for $9.95 and came with 1 kit so I thought I'd grab it as I still had the previous version. I'm curious to see what the new features of version 3 are and whether I might be able to produce pages faster with a more scrapbook oriented tool.
I did cheat one tiny bit, and made the paint overlay in Photoshop, saved as a .png and then imported to SBC3. Everything else was done inside SBC3. I've since figured out I could have made that element in SBC too by using the Line tool.
