[Lisa0503]

I am just learning to digital scrapbook and thought it would be fun to start a thread with digital scrap pages. Here are a few of mine from the Norway Dinner (cause you can never have too many Princess Pics ;-):

All that looks great! (I love that shot of ToT; it's my favorite ride! :))

[Olaf]

I love princess pictures. Very cute! I have a boy, and I'll never get to make a princess page. :guilty: Lisa, were those templates, or did you do them all yourself?

Bob, I love filling the whole page with a picture.

[KimAshton]

Wow these are great. I wish I could come up with good ideas.

[DisneyMama629]

I was lurking around here earlier and I was inspired to try a digital page of my own. I used Photo Impact 10 and to be honest I had no idea what I was doing. I really do want to get into digital scrapbooking though.

[beasleybear]

That's cute! I'm fond of the look of slightly tilted photos with the poloroid-type border. :)

Also, did you mean to say "2005" instead of 2007?

[DisneyMama629]

Thanks Chris. I did mean to put 2006. And I actually got more than that wrong. My signature is wrong too! I'm really dumb. I better go fix it. All three years are wrong on my trip dates.

[Caitsmama]

Well, i am not sure if you want me to post my lo's again, but since it's a Disney Digital lo thread, and i am new to digiscrappin, here they are.. Thanks for starting this thread! Mabye one day it will make it's way to the stickys!! :rolleyes1

Suzann, those are great lo's! Especially love the one with the black/white & 1/2 color snapshots, may have to borrow that ..lol. Also love the pic with the churros - too funny!!

[Suzann]

Borrow away Caitsmama :thumbsup2

It was the first time they (not me) had churros, so we HAD to have a picture of it LOL

[KimAshton]

These are adorable.

[Lisa0503]

I am loving all these wonderful Disney Digital pages and am so inspired!!!! They are all great!
I love princess pictures. Very cute! I have a boy, and I'll never get to make a princess page. :guilty: Lisa, were those templates, or did you do them all yourself?
My princess pages are actually a mix of kits. I bought the Princess Kit designed by Glenda Ketchum...that is where most of the paper/elements from on my Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty pages. Then the frames/photo corners & papers on the Jasmine page are from Beaslybear's (aka Seebee) blog. Thanks so much to Chris for all the wonderful Disney Digital items she has generously created and shared!!!

Here is another one of my pages:

Third round:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/carouselcopy.jpg

Caitsmama, all your pages are great but I just have to say I LOVE this page!!! In your Hilton Head photos, I also love how you cut your room pics in half but lined them up next to each other on the page. That is such a cool idea!!!

[Caitsmama]

Thanks lisa! This (carosel) page was easy -- you are just layering one photo on top of the other, but the bigger one is just changed in opacity (i just used the slider bar to change it til i was happy with the "see thru effect"),

The ones from HHI - i used a template from http://heatheranndesigns.net/ , she doesn't have a ton of stuff in her store, but her stuff is beautiful!! ;)


Fran -- love the orange mickey pumpkin pic - i have the same one!! LOL :thumbsup2

[Suzann]

Lisa~ Love your pages!!! Where did you get those frames on the "Meeting the characters" pages?

[Lisa0503]

Lisa~ Love your pages!!! Where did you get those frames on the "Meeting the characters" pages?Thanks!!! The paper and most of the frames/elements on the "Meeting the Character" pages were from a kit from Glenda Ketcham called The Most Wonderful Place on Earth: Mouse Scraps. Here is a link:

http://www.digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=38&sort=20a&page=13

There is tons of stuff in the kit and I think it was so worth the $$$. Glenda has several kits available that work awesome with Disney Pics (I used her kit for my princess pics which you can see in the first post of this thread...)

[marlaymike]

Cool layouts!!

[4greatboys]

Love the great LO's!

[beasleybear]

This question might get lost in all these beautiful LOs. :) Lisa, on the Views of Epcot page, what font is that for the title?

[mandy7581]

These are terrific! i love that you posted all of your layouts so we can see the learning curve too as the pages get more and more detailed. They look great! What programs, websites, and resources do you use? Are you on scrapbook bytes?

[Lisa0503]

This question might get lost in all these beautiful LOs. :) Lisa, on the Views of Epcot page, what font is that for the title?Hi Chris - The words "Views of" is Script MT Bold and "Epcot" is Algerian.

Chris - I really can't thank you enough for all the wonderful freebies you offer on your blog.... Especially the Disney related items!!!! You make such beautiful pages/elements!!!!

[Lisa0503]

These are terrific! i love that you posted all of your layouts so we can see the learning curve too as the pages get more and more detailed. They look great! What programs, websites, and resources do you use? Are you on scrapbook bytes?I just started doing scrapbooking. My Disney pages are the first digital pages I have done. I did a few scrapbook pages 'traditionally' but with two very young kids it just wasn't practical for me. I could only work on it at night after their bedtime and then I would have to take everything out and then pack everything up when I was done since I don't have an area of my house I could dedicate to scrapbooking.

Digital just worked out great for me. I use Paint Shop Pro X and it is on my laptop and I can be scrapbooking anywhere while I watch the kids play with no mess and I don't have to worry about little fingers. My favorite sites for learning how to use my program have been http://scrapbook-bytes.com/ and http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com

[Fran98765]

I can pretty much "ditto" everything Lisa said... the mess, the small kids, the never getting anything done. I also use PSPX. I just mostly wanted to add that there are also tons of tutorials at www.scrapgirls.com, in addition to the 2 sites she mentioned. My usual hangout where most of my layouts are is at DSP (www.digitalscrapbookplace.com), which Lisa mentioned.

Lisa, I'm loving your pages and have put a few in my favorites to scraplift later this year for my trip. My question is on your red title page.....what size is that photo of the monorail? Is that a panoramic one? How did you do take that? With a panoramic camera or a stitching program. I would LOVE to take some panoramics this year on our trip and was thinking about using my BIL's panoramic camera, but I keep hearing about these programs that let you "stitch" together photos to make one big one. I'll have to check some out.

It was 'borrowed' with permission from another Diser (Dznefreek) who has some increadably unique photoshopped photos. Since the monorail doesn't go under this sign, Dznefreek must have merged a photo on the monorail with a pic of the entrance to WDW that you drive under and got this cool photo. I am not sure what program he used but I think you could do it with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. I have found many awesome photos from lurking on the Photography boards here and most members are very kind with allowing you to borrow photos for personal scrapbooking...

[KimAshton]

Love those. :)

Here are some of mine from our December 2006 trip.

I've been digi-scrapping for 2 1/2 years. Such great layouts being shared here! Since I'm deep in Disney planning mode, I've been scrapping some pics from our 04 trip lately. Here's some more recent layouts:

thanks!!

[BrerMama]

It's by Michelle Underwood at A Cherry On Top -- the kit is Inner Child. Glad you like them!

[Caitsmama]

Oh, cool.. thanks for the quick reply! I love ACOT!!

Thanks!!!! I will certainly add you to the roster. I have been slacking about keeping up on our cruise thread. I need to catch up with everyone. I have just started digiscrapping our last cruise and will post those pics here when I am done....

Fran - I really love your Chip & Dale pages!!!! You are so creative!!!!

[Caitsmama]

Here is one for me today -- all paper and embellishments are from Emily Farnworth's "Enjoy the Ride" kit (Polka Dot Potato) and i did this lo as part of her creative team. Layout is all digi.
Thanks

How nice! I love the row of tickets! :)

Ironically, I live in the next city over from where Polka Dot Potato is located; they have local digi crops, and I still haven't been to one. (I need to do that sometime!)

sooooo:rolleyes1 , are there any pre-made disney pages that you can just drag/drop pics into?? :teeth:

[Fran98765]

There are tons of digital pages where you can just drop in your pic and the layout is done. None are Disney specific, going back to the whole trademark thing, but there are so many beautiful quick pages that it's sometimes just too easy!

Here's my LO for the day:

Nice lo Fran! :thumbsup2

Gosh... I love all these wonderful layouts. They are so inspiring and I hope that someday I can create such beautiful pages. I am still very much a beginner and admitedly not very artistic. Anyway, here are my pages from AK:

Lisa - Great job........... just remember, it's not who else likes your lo's, the important thing is to have fun, and remember why we are doing it to begin with! The rest will come with time........ But, i think you did great for your first lo's!!

for a beginning where would I go to find some

Love all you pages:thumbsup2

[Renysmom]

"sooooo , are there any pre-made disney pages that you can just drag/drop pics into?? "

There are lots of quick pages available all over the internet that you can use for layouts of WDW..

Also, I created about 70 layouts without pics before my trip last year, it served two purposes, one it helped me waiting to get there as it passed many evenings and when I got back I had lots of layouts ready to go to pick from which sped up the scrapping. Those I didn't use I have on a CD awaiting my next trip, along with any I may make between now and then.

I am new to the whole digitalscrapping thing but some of the sites that I have helped me so much is www.digitalscrapbookplace.com and www.scrapbook-bytes.com (I am sure there are many more great sites also). Both of them offer freebies including many pre-done pages where you would just add your pics (you just have to register - no cost) There are also TONS of free kits with coordinating papers/elements that you can mix and match to create your own pages. There are also tons of great tutorials for how to create certain effect. What program do you have for digital scrapping? I have Paint Shop Pro. The hardest things for me was learning the program in the begining but after doing many tutorials (and adding more RAM to my laptop) I did get the basics down but I still have so much to learn. Now I think my biggest problem is my own creativity...

KellyKelly that is a great idea. I would have never thought of it....

I will learn a lot from those sites
thanks for the link
I have Photoshop CS :confused3 but I down loaded the trial of photoshop elements and seem to be getting on better with that
I think once i get the basic learnth and have the time to sit down and do some , there will be no stopping me

[Caitsmama]

Photoshop CS is a big program.. There is no way i would even want to attempt it.. Elements works fine for me! LOL I have version 3.0 , and so far i love it.

[Caitsmama]

Here's one for me today.. just playing around with filters.. (all digi). TFL!

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/believecastlecopy.jpg

[beasleybear]

Photoshop Elements is a great program to start with if you're wanting to get in the Photoshop family of programs. Once you've learned it, it makes it easier to make the jump to full Photoshop. :thumbsup2

ETA: I should say, it's easier to jump up to full PS *if you want to*. There's not necessarily any reason you have to ever stop scrapping with PSE. :)

[Caitsmama]

Here's mine for tonight..
Layout is all digi, using "Just Racing" kit by Laura Burger.PM me if you need more info..

Caitsmama, where do you find your papers? Your choices are beautiful!! I struggle with finding great paper backgrounds. Do you make your own?

Also, I love your Mickey head in the first layout. How did you make it?

I have a TON of Disney photos to scrap this week. That's why I'm on this thread looking for inspiration. :) You all ROCK!!

Looks great :thumbsup2 I like the slippers on there.

[Lisa0503]

Kim - I love the photo effects.... great job!!!!

[Caitsmama]

Kimberly - Thanks for your kind words! Let me see if i can go down the list and help...

Mickey layout: basic red cardstock, The mickey head i made myself, just did the 3 circles, then added the "epoxy style" to them, to make them look like clear epoxy stickers -- i could try to do one and send it to you if you want.

The second and third pages came from a set called "Bliss". From scrapgirls.com .

The sorcerers hat paper came from Chris - www.seebeesfreebies.blogspot.com , she does AWESOME work, and it's FREE. How cool is she??!!! Love her!!!!

I don't make any of my own papers, i am not that good.. LOL MAYBE someday.. when i can really play more and learn... But, i just started digi scrapping about 2-3 mo ago, so i still have a long way to go.

There are soooooooooooooo many great sites out there.. Do you need help finding a good shopping site?? lol

[KimAshton]

Looks great :thumbsup2 I like the slippers on there.

Hi there! Thanks for your quick reply! I use PSP 9 - I haven't run into an "epoxy style" on there - maybe there's something similar - I am new to this so still playing around with the basics. I have TONS of scapping sites bookmarked - right now I'm sticking with the freebies until I gain more confidence in what I'm doing.

Thanks for the blog site! I am going to check that out right now :) I think I've run into her name before on one of my scrapping sites.... :confused3

If you've just started 2-3 mos. ago, I am blown away! Wow!

My problem is I pull up 3-4 pictures and then I'm stuck as to what paper to use for a background.

[beasleybear]

I think I've run into her name before on one of my scrapping sites.... :confused3



Let's hope it wasn't in a bad context! ;)

Your layouts look great, you hardly look like a beginner :thumbsup2

[Renysmom]

Whoa Whoo..

I got 16 layouts done this week..I now have 50 from our December trip and I am not done yet LOL.. With another Christmas trip planned, I really would like to get all these pictures done by June. We will see how that goes LOL.

I didn't want to fill up all the pages with the 16 layouts so if you would like to see them just click the link below.

http://www.renysplace.com/layouts/_march06/pages/1.html

Also, I updated alot of my digi links including freebies and such. Look for a link on the left side it you want to surf them.

I always enjoy comments, good and bad so feel free to share your thoughts. That is how we all get better.

[Caitsmama]

Kelly - Great los!! I really love the one with the castle and the christmas tree !Great composition on that!!! Also love the epcot sunset one!!

[Caitsmama]

Here's a couple digi pages i did this week.. I will post the "non disney digi " in the reg. scrapbook thread..

[Renysmom]

Caitsmama -

Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them. the castle is one of my favorites too :goodvibes

BTW to anyone.. if you see a layout where I created the kit. If you would like it let me know and I will be happy to share. Most are in 8 x 8 but now I am doing pages 12 x 12 and then downsizing to print 8 x 8.

[Caitsmama]

Caitsmama - I love your pages. They are so inspiring to see your designs. Even if they are not 'Disney' post them here too. PLEASE!!!!

Thank you!! :love: I see you changed the thread title.. lol. :goodvibes I just didn't want to intrude with non disney lo's! LOL ;) But, i think it's good to have just a thread for digi scrappers! Thanks so much for starting this!!! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :woohoo:

I did change the thread title since as much as I LOVE seeing Disney digital pages, I also want to see other pages too. I love looking at the main thread for scrapbooking pages but since I am no longer scrapping traditionally, I like seeing others digital pages for ideas....

Just subscribing for ideas later on... Thanks for all the great LO!:goodvibes

[j_lehr]

I bought Paint Shop Pro X quite awhile ago...finally figured out how to layer pictures this week! Here is my first layout...please feel free to critique! :thumbsup2 I have several more that I want to do so I am hoping I get better as I go. =)

Thanks,

[beasleybear]

LOL, Jessica, I was so busy looking at your photos that I didn't even see my paper back there! Which is a good thing, I think, since your photos should sort of be the main focus of the page, IMO. :)

LOL! Thanks for sharing your designs! After going back and looking at some other posts, I saw that others indicated where the paper was from, so I apologize that I didn't give you proper credit. Your stuff is awesome! I just found your site the other day (thanks to these boards!) and trying to catch up on all the stuff I missed!

Thanks again,
Jessica

[Caitsmama]

Jessica, i think that is a GREAT first page!!!

[Fran98765]

I think you did a great job. For more color or contrast you might want to add small mats or frames around the pics or at least a drop shadow for some depth on the pics and elements. Looks like a great first day at Epcot!

Let me know if you need any PSPX help, I use it too, although I'm by no means an expert! :)

[beasleybear]

No problem about the credit; I'm not that picky. :) I really did get hooked looking at your pics. I think I miss Test Track! (I didn't get to ride it on my last visit to WDW.)

I would definitely like to learn how to do these things...the mats and frames are just added elements right? But what is a drop shadow?

Thanks!

Thanks again,
Jessica

[Renysmom]

Jessica -

Very nice page. I also use PSP X so ask away if you have questions.

Drop Shadow is adding a shadow (narrow is better) on the edges of your pictures, mats or elements. You can try it out by going to effects dropdown menu, then 3d effects.

Kelly

[Fran98765]

Kelly answered about drop shadows. I usually make my LOs 12x12 at 300 dpi and use about 8 on my shadow, so small is good.

For frames around pics, there are tons of premade ones you can find on different sites, you can also crop down background papers to mat your pics, or DL mats all over too. Or, you can add borders to your pics and then put an effect or texture on the border, all which give you a different look. You can add borders under Image > Add borders and use something like 10-40 depending on the look you want. Then you can play with effects and colors and textures too. Do that to the pic before you copy it onto your LO.

[j_lehr]

Thanks for the help. I found the effects, although I haven't used any yet. I have a few other questions if anyone can answer them.

This might sound silly, but I see in some layouts where the text is wavy or in shapes, etc....I can't figure out how to get my text to do that. I click the text tool and a box appears but my writing is only ever straight...lol.

Also, I have only messed around with layouts of 8x8 but wonder if I should do them 12x12. I want to print them out some day so I am wondering what would be better. I actually re-did my Epcot page because on the first layout I thought I tried to cram too many pictures so our faces looked really small. Here is the new page:

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m191/grumpjes24/EpcotPagel1-R.jpg

The paper is Seebee's Freebies Dream Trip Hidden Mouse Swirl Paper and the elements from Honey Bear by Glenda Ketcham.

Thanks for all your help!
Jessica

[Fran98765]

Here is a tutorial about creating text on a path, which you can make in any shape or waves, etc. (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/psp_textaroundshapes_ew/psp_textaroundshapes_ew.shtml)

I would do 12x12, because if you want to print at 8x8, it's easy to change, if you change your mind and want 12x12, it will look horrid. You will also have a bit more room to work with, which is always nice.

The LO looks nice, the empasis on the one photo is great. Just a note that you put a ribbon and brad on the wrong side of that tag. If it has 2 holes, you'd probably want something to "secure" the other side down too, it could be just a brad, or just brads on each side. Another thing, you may want to change the color of your tag, it's very close to the background color. You can change the color by going to Adjust > Hue/Saturation > Colorize and then play with the two sliders until you find something you like. To just get the red part you can click that area with the magic wand first and it will only change the area inside the marching ants.

Thanks so much for your help! I'm saving all these posts so I can practice later. I am going to re-do the Epcot page on 12 x 12. (My fiancee will really think I'm nuts now since I have done this page twice already, lol).

I have one more question...(well hopefully only one more) =) When I save my page, it always says it has to merge it because of limitations of the file type I am using. Once you merge it, you can't change it right? How do you save your work half way through or can't you?

Thanks again...
Jessica

[Renysmom]

Jessica - While working on the layout you can save it as a psp file, then when you know you are done and ready to print you merge the layers and save it as either a .jpg or .png file. Then when you really know you are done you can delete the psp file.

I have several folders set up.. one is layouts in progress, this is where I save the psp version, completed layouts, to print layouts and printed and archive layouts. This really helps me.

BTW, if you dont have an external drive I suggest you get one, these files are huge and you will use up space faster than you can imagine. Also, make sure you backup your layouts to CD/DVD as hard drives and external drives do crash.

SBB.com and Rakscraps.com have some great psp tutorials as well.

Funny you mention harddrive space....last week before I started downloading digital supplies and playing with layouts I ran about out of space...I was down to 20 mb...so I bought a 250 gig external....I could see myself lining these things up tho! lol

Thanks for the tips!

Jessica

[Fran98765]

Wonderful getting an external drive. I'm so bad at backup... I need to desperately put stuff on DVDs.

I never merge my original pages. I always leave them saved as a .pspimage, that way if I find something wrong with it or need to change something, I still can. And I have found errors on old pages, I had done a memorial to my cat that died and I put wrong years on it and other silly mistakes, like spelling errors too.

To save a copy for the web, resize it to 600x600 (Image > Resize) and then File > Export > JPEG and then you save it as a .jpg that way. Then I Undo the resize and I have both files. I upload the jpg to my server or any galleries that I post at, depending on what products I've used. I have deleted a few old jpg's but they are so small it's really not worth the trouble.

[j_lehr]

Thanks Fran and Renysmom for all of your help.

So here goes...another shot at the Epcot page. This time I did it in 12x12. I did change some elements...I have downloaded some cool things since I worked on the page yesterday, lol.

The paper is from Seebee's Freebies Dream Trip collection. The tag is from Kathy Smith's Color My World Collection.

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m191/grumpjes24/EpcotDay1small.jpg

I realized after I was all done that I never added the "Epcot" title...Paul (my fiancee) says that we should know it's Epcot cause of Spaceship Earth. LOL :rotfl2:

Thanks again for all the wonderful help and tips...I have learned so much these past few days. I am excited to move on to some different pictures.

Have a great weekend.
Jessica

[Renysmom]

Another thing I do is if I see a kit that I know would be perfect for a Dis layout I put it into a folder labled "dis scrapping". Now I am so crazy that inside this folder I have folders for each park, characters, resorts, christmas, etc. Then I drag the kit I found into the right subfolder so I can find them easier. I also have a folder for layout ideas and when I see a layout I want to try to recreate I save the copy and put that in the idea folder.

I often find myself with no new pics to scrap and in the mood to scrap, when that happens I visit these folders and make some "quick pages" which I use when I return from my visits. Pre-scrapping the pages helps me get them done so much quicker. Those that I don't use I save for my next trip :rotfl:

[j_lehr]

Thanks for the tips...I have definitely already downloaded so much and trying to keep it all organized is challenging. Remembering what I have when I am putting pages together is impossible. LOL. I like the saving layouts idea...

Since I just learned how to do this, I don't think I will run out of photos anytime soon. LOL. I have thousands of digital pictures just from the past two years. I was going to try to traditional scrapbook the bigger events and I bought a lot of stuff to do it with but I never got around to it. I have scrapped (traditionally) a few pages for special projects and digital is way easier and less messy!

Jessica

[Fran98765]

I really like the changes you made to the first Epcot page, it really pops now! Great improvements. You don't really need to say Epcot, SSE does that for you! :) The 2nd page looks great too!

[Renysmom]

Could you do me a favor.. I did a castle layout tonight that I am just not sure I am happy with. Would you please look at it and give me your comments. Link is in my signature.

Could you do me a favor.. I did a castle layout tonight that I am just not sure I am happy with. Would you please look at it and give me your comments. Link is in my signature.

Thanks

Kelly

Your puppy LOs are adorable! For the nighttime castle LO, I might suggest cropping in closer to the castle on some of the pics, maybe use other angle pics if you have them. I know you are showcasing on the effects at night, but you might try a daytime photo in the center to kind of balance it out, see how that works. Also, in the 2 left pics, the castle isn't straight, so you may want to straighten it out, not sure what program you use, but I use PSPX and it has a straighten feature which is very easy to use. The LO looks nice, but maybe some contrast would help it out a bit. Another contrast to try is a fireworks photo over the castle if you have one of those too. I'd dabble with a couple different things and see what you like best.

How do you do digital scrapbooking? Where do you get the disney stuff to pout with your pages? How? I would love to do this. But I need mucho help to get started. Any one out there like to give a lot of help to a newbie?

Mkymselady -

Thank you for the compliment. They are always nice to hear.

To get started you need a editing program such as one of the photoshops, paint shop pro, Digital imaging pro, etc.

Then you need to learn to use them. Each has a unique learning curve but there are lots of tutorials on the web. SBB.com and Rakscraps.com has lots and a great community to help out.

As for the kits and such, some I make, som I buy and alter, others are freebies. There are no Disney licensed kits available yet, hopefully some day. So you have to create your own ideas.

Let us know if you need more info.

[Carneymom]

Pardon my ignorance, but I am somewhat new to digi scrapping. Where or how do you obtain and use the Disney style font?

[Renysmom]

Carney -

Google Disney Fonts and you will find it and more ;) . Then open the font and reduce. open your photo edit software and go to fonts and it will temporarily be there. Don't close the font until you are done doing what your doing and save or your font will revert back to a default font.

I tried to PM you to request the Disney items, but keep getting error message

Caitsmom -

You are so welcome.. I am certainly not the top designer out there, but I can do the basics, sometimes more hehehe and don't mind sharing at all.

As a matter of fact. I just uploaded 4 more pages of Disney related items I have made over the years to my personal website.I hope to get more up later. The pages are hidden so that only DIS members will get to them. if anyone here would like to see what I have and download some send me a private message and I will email you the link to the pages. Again, all I ask is that we keep them in the family and not share the links to the world. That's the only cost :thumbsup2

[bookmompooh]

lamcnany- i got the same message....you have to have 6 post on the boards to pm someone...hope that helps.

OK I've been too chicken to post any of my layouts but decided I needed to stop hiding my work and what a better place to start than the DIS. :)

Here are 3 layouts I did recently to complete our June 2006 trip (took my DD & her friend to WDW one last time before she left for college). I've done a few digital albums in the last year but this was my 1st completely digital disney album & I loved doing it. It's digital all the way for me for me from now on.

Please note...not sure why but the shadows seem exaggerated when I save them as JPG files but when I convert them to TIFFs & print them from PS, they look fine.

I think your MGM layout is great Jessica. Sometimes it's hard to avoid "busy" layouts when it comes to scrapping Disney...there is just so much to scrap and I often feel the same way when I finish a page. Sometimes I look at a layout I just did & say "gee...I like this one" and sometimes I look at it and say "well at least it's done". LOL I still have 5 more Disney trips to scrap and I leave next Friday for another one so that'll be 6! :eek:

And thanks for the compliments on my layouts. Although I don't post much I do read this forum & admire the layouts everyone posts. With 6 more trips to scrap I desperately need the inspiration I find here. I'll have to try to be more active. :)

[#1 Pocahontas]

Wow! I love looking at everyone's layouts :)

I thought I'd take a dip in the digital scrapbooking world. I love how much faster it is. I am not sure I am ready to make the change though. ;)

I need to learn how to do the torn paper look and manipulate things better. Here is my first 2 page layout...

(Looks very similar to the op's page...same kit :) )

Just a thought here....but maybe if you took all these same pictures and elements and made this a 2-page layout instead but not add any more to it. That might make it less busy.

[Renysmom]

Those are great first layouts.

I love in the first three you made the photo's the focus. I often see layouts where it seems the photo's take a backseat to the kits. You have not done this.

Great start, your gonna be addicted real quick with your talent ;)

I love your stuff!!! You are so creative.


I love this forum/post. I definitely have some ideas now about what I want to do with my layouts and how to make them a little more focused on just a few pictures instead of the crammed busy look I have now. I plan to redo the 3 pages I have done and spread it over as many pages as I need...I am in no rush to finish my book (although I do hope to have it finished by Sept when we go for our honeymoon :thumbsup2 )...I am really excited to make it amazing and don't mind taking my time with it...I am so thankful for all the great advice and inspiration I have gotten here.

Thank again everyone ! ! !

Renysmom-
Again thanks for the downloads! I love looking at everyones pages. I can't imagine going back to traditional scrapbooking after going digital. Gee now if I could only sell the $$$ worth of scrapbooking supplies I have.

[Lisa0503]

All of these layouts are so beautiful. I have so far to go before I could even compare to these beautiful works of art. I am almost embarassed to post my simple layouts.... I had wanted to post them sooner but my computer decided to give me a hard time so I ended up having to reformat the drive to get everything working again. Now I 'think' I am back to normal and can get busy scrapping my last Disney Cruise but here are the last pages that I had not posted from our Disney trip this past Sept.

Thanks Jessica.

The first paper I made myself and I'm trying to find what the others are. Because I never thought I'd post my layouts anywhere, I didn't keep track of what I used. I'll post as soon as I find them. :)

Edited to add: OK just realized I definitely know the last one (the Donald layout). It's Scrap Girls MRE_Brian..I love the stuff I get from Scrap Girls (I belong to their monthy club).

More great layouts. I will have to run over and check out that kit. It is so colorful. Although I did spend some money at Roberta D'Achilles store this weekend (Rendered Memories). She has a bunch of her kits on clearance through tonite for $1.00 and $1.50.

Between those sale items and a very rainy, dreary day I scrapped 10 layouts today. I will get my last trip scrapped before my next one :lmao: only 230 days to go. The new layouts are all on the front page of my blog. Link below. I would love comments as always.

[DisneyLisa]

10 pages in a day...I'm impressed! Great job! Thanks for the heads up on Rendered Memories...I'm off to check it out. :)

[eznunzit]

A couple of years ago I bought a program called Scrapbook Deluxe. It had a lot of wonderful premade templates, graphics, fonts, etc. The problem with it is when you printed out the pages even their premade templates were off, the right border would be completely missing. I have struggled with it and had some good results. I am used to designing layouts for my job as a bank trainer. Out of frustration I am going to be investing in a new program as soon as I decide between Paintshop,Photoshop, or Photo Impact; I just don't really want to spend over $100 but do not want another cheap program that is going to design well but then print something completely different.

My real confusion after reading this thread, has to do with printing. Do you guys then print these pages out? I read in an earlier post where it was recommended to design in 12X12 but how do you print that out? When I was printing out my pages I would print them out on photo paper but I thought I read a recommendation to print on card stock? Are you designing these pages just for your websites or our some of you still filling traditional photo albums.

Everyone of the layouts on this thread have been wonderful, you guys should be SO proud of yourselves.

[DisneyLisa]

I print my layouts out as 12x12 on my Epson printer then place them in an album. For the prices you can get 12x12s printed in the US though, I'd be tempted to get them professionally printed. When I add up the cost of ink & paper ($2 each here just for a glossy sheet plus about $80 for the 2 print cartridges which does about 20 pages...that's ~$120 for 20 printed pages :( ), I'm tempted to send mine to the US to have them printed (haven't seen anywhere here that prints for the costs I've seen advertised in the US). I've also been hearing a lot about shutterfly's 12x12 books and am considering giving that a try for pages I don't already have albums for (I bought an album for each trip we took to Disney so want to put my Disney layouts in those).

I printed out an 8x8 album I just did for a friend I went to Disney with last year (we're going together again this Friday...yippee :)) and it was nice but with Dinsey layouts I sometimes want 3 or 4 pics on a page & I found the pictures a little tiny on an 8x8 layout. I actually scrapped them in 12x12 & printed them in 8x8. When I printed the same layout for my album in 12x12....I loved the layouts...big difference. Now I did an 8x8 grad album for one of my sons (paper scrapping) with only 1 or 2 pics per page a few years ago & loved the album. :) Just my personal opinion/experience but thought I'd pass it along.

[Renysmom]

I have a large format photo printer (Canon I990) so I print everything here and then out into albums. I also design in 12 x 12 and then print in 8 x 8.

I tend to highlight photo's more than the kits in my layouts so it is rare that I have more than 2 pictures to a page. I've been printing at home for years.

[Renysmom]

I received a ad for some new kits at scrap outside the box and saw this new kit for pirates. It would be perfect for WDW scrapping. It is on sale through Friday.

Here is the link: http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5226&zenid=c425418f5d04b55993b4af152555bddb

[j_lehr]

Good Morning...

So I decided to re-do my pages (I have only done 3 so far) to try to alleviate that cluttered look...

Please let me know what you think...I have learned so much through everyone's comments and tips here.

The paper and some of the elements are from the Brian Kit from Melissa Renfro at Scrap Girls (Thanks DisneyLisa for that information...I love this kit!). The rest of the elements are from Gloria Ketchum at Digitals (from her Mouse Scrap kit and Honey Bear kit).

Thanks!

Love the new pages, separating them made them even better!

[Lisa0503]

Lisa & Fran - Thank you!!! I do like the pictures better separated. Originally I just put all the pics on one page just to be done with it. Now that I have found many great new elements thanks to Chris (aka Seebee) and Kelly (aka Renysmom) and seeing all the wonderful pages here, I was inspired to be more creative and do more pages. Going back thru all the pages I have done, there are a few more that I am not thrilled with that I want to try to rework. I just love Digital Scrapping because it makes doing this so easy (unlike reworking a layout that had been scrapped traditionally)

[DisneyLisa]

I agree...digital is so much easier. Be careful though looking back & re-doing pages. I was told once, when I first started scrapping, not to do that or I'd constantly be re-doing pages as my style & scrapping trends change. I look back at some of my earlier pages & go "ugggggh...what was I thinking". But you know, others still look at them when they come over & think they are wonderful. :lmao:

I do occasionally re-do a page though. What I like about digital is the ability to change things so easily. I typically scrap a page then open it up a few days later & look at it again. Usually if there's something I'm going to end up changing, it pops out at me the minute I take a fresh look at it.

I love seeing everyone's layouts...keep posting. I'm leaving for Disney tomorrow (I know...poor me ;) ) so won't be online much but I will have my laptop with me & hope to check in now & again to see what's been posted. Happy scrapping everyone. :)

I love the re-worked pages! I think it looks great to highlight each of the characters on their own pages. I think when the kids look back on them they will enjoy each of the pictures more. Great job! I need to get going and decide which software I am going to upgrade. I am having trouble choosing Corel Paint shop because I don't like their wordperfect or spreadsheet programs. Don't like is not a strong enough word. I didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a program either though. Until I decide I will keep enjoying these awesome pages that you guys are kicking out. Way to go!!!

Here are some of my first pages, I never really got into paper scrapbooking and these are my first real digital ones. I have a degree in graphic design this should be easy but, I am rusty. :rotfl: They are not 100% done I need to add a few more little embellishments. Any suggestions.

You baby is so sweet...I love your first (travelling) page. I forgot to take pics on the plane this time (our plane was very delayed - my fam probably would have killed me, lol. We didn't get to Disney until 3 am)

[brays_mama]

just wanted to say I love your layout! I went to your blog and got some freebies...thank you... and now I think I'm totally addicted to digi scapbooking!!!

[Fran98765]

Awesome pages, how did you get that giraffe close up? It's great!

[PiperPizzaz]

Thanks so much for the comments, I was really nervous about posting anything.

The giraffe was pretty close to the safari truck anyway but, I cropped in some. Here is the original. Not sure what the bars are, part of the truck maybe?

[Fran98765]

Very cool. Giraffes are my favorite and we never get that lucky with them on KS. Maybe next time!

[Lisa0503]

Thanks so much for the comments, I was really nervous about posting anything.
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d29/moneycll/giraffe.jpgI am so glad you posted!!!! You should not be nervous at all. That is an awesome pic of the giraffe. I do love your layouts. You have some very creative elements. I hope you post more layouts as you get them done...

[Lisa0503]

Here is a new layout that I just finished. I may change the picture to one from our cruise and use it in my cruise album....

I love the re-worked pages! I think it looks great to highlight each of the characters on their own pages. I think when the kids look back on them they will enjoy each of the pictures more. Great job! I need to get going and decide which software I am going to upgrade. I am having trouble choosing Corel Paint shop because I don't like their wordperfect or spreadsheet programs. Don't like is not a strong enough word. I didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a program either though. Until I decide I will keep enjoying these awesome pages that you guys are kicking out. Way to go!!!Thank you! As per programs....I use Paint Shop Pro X (I don't use Wordperfect or their spreadsheet program so I can't comment on them...I use MS Office for those functions) Anyway, I have been very happy with Paint Shop but I think if I had to pick a program over again I would choose Photoshop Elements. There just seems to be many more tutorials and info on this program. Don't get me wrong, their is alot for Paint Shop and I am happy with it so far...

[eznunzit]

Thanx Lisa for the info.

I actually found Photoshop Elements 5 through softwareoutlet.com for $39.99. I was wondering how they can have the product for so cheap but they are selling the version that Dell, Compaq, etc. buys to install into PC. That means that it doesn't have the fancy packaging. My friend just ordered office suite software through them and was happy. I feel better after reading your post that I made the right decision. Thank you again and keep the pages coming to inspire me.

Great page...I hope you don't mind me asking you another question...the ribbon that is with the Mickey brad...is that one element? It looks that way and I am wondering how you got part of it over the brad and the rest of it under? I have seen in PSPX where you can arrange things to be on top or bottom but haven't figured out how to use items in both places. The layout I am doing now, I am using paperclips but I erased part of the image to make it look like part of the paperclip is under the pictures. (I hope that made sense) =)

Thanks,
Jessica

Lisa - I would have never thought to use the mickey heads as a border like that. Looks great and I will steal the idea LOL

Nice job as always!

[j_lehr]

I finally hooked up the scanner and figured out how to use it. :thumbsup2 I was able to scan in some of the paper scrapping supplies I bought...and they turned out decent. another :thumbsup2 . Here are some examples...

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m191/grumpjes24/mickeypapersm.jpg

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m191/grumpjes24/eeyorepapersm.jpg

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m191/grumpjes24/D.png

The first two are papers I had, the last one was from an alphabet pack I had...

Not sure if it's "legal" to share (don't see why not...since I am not selling) but if you like and want, pm me your e mail address and I will send to you. =) I scanned a bunch of other stuff too but didn't upload it to photo bucket.

At least now all the supplies I bought when I was intending to paper scrap arn't wasted! :cool1:

Thanks,
Jessica

[j_lehr]

A side note...the paper doesn't look "square" in my post (at least on my computer) but it is. I have it sized 8x8 on my computer, but intend to resize to 12x12 when I used it.

[Lisa0503]

Lisa - I would have never thought to use the mickey heads as a border like that. Looks great and I will steal the idea LOL

Nice job as always!Kelly, thank you!!! I would have never been able to make that border if not for your wonderful willingness to share!!! Thank you for designing all those mickey heads to begin with. I actually scraplifted the entire page. There are alot of digital Disney designs on E-bay and I saw one that inspired me to create the page. I also like the new MGM pages you posted. It is good to see you back!!!

[Lisa0503]

Great page...I hope you don't mind me asking you another question...the ribbon that is with the Mickey brad...is that one element? It looks that way and I am wondering how you got part of it over the brad and the rest of it under? I have seen in PSPX where you can arrange things to be on top or bottom but haven't figured out how to use items in both places.

Thanks,

Hi Jessica - It is actually two elements. The Mickey Brad and the Ribbon with the button are two different elements that I merged together. I basically did the same thing you do with the paper clip where you 'erased' part of the image. In PSPX there is a neat way to erase things so you can easily correct your mistakes in case you erase too much. It is called Masking a layer. You should look for some tutorials on Masking since it is a REALLY helpful thing to know. If you can't find anything on it, PM me and I will try to expain it to you...

[j_lehr]

I decided to take a Disney break (I know, I know...but I think I am in a Disney rut...I felt like I was doing the same thing to every page!) and I decided to start scrapping my daughter & her braces. =)

The paper and frames are from the Princess Kit from Gloria Ketchum (Digitals Store). The teeth and stickers were bought at AC Moore and I scanned them in.

Hope you don't mind me sharing even though it's not Disney. =)

[Fran98765]

I need to finish a Disney album... so here's one I did:

http://home.insightbb.com/~baity-scrapbook/wdw2006jmickey.jpg

[beasleybear]

I just found these cute, cute, CUTE little animals from DeDe Smith at Digitals, and knew I had to have them for my Animal Kingdom pages. :thumbsup2
ETA that I keep forgetting to mention that the animals do NOT come with the hats! I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking they are a Disney product. They'd work great for any zoo or animal related pics. :)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/beasleybear/AK-main-page.jpg

[Lisa0503]

Fran - That is an adorable pic of your son with Sorcerer Mickey...too cute!!!

Chris - Those animals are awesome thanks for sharing!!!!

[bookmompooh]

love the layouts....the animals are just too cute.

[Lisa0503]

Well I decided to re-work some more pages since this is my first Digital album and I wasn't thrilled with a few pages I did...

Here was my original page:
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s180/LisaCarrott/WDW%20Sept%202006/2copy.jpg

Now it is two:

[Lisa0503]

I also reworked a couple of pages from our Animal Kingdom day. Here were the origial pages:

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s180/LisaCarrott/WDW%20Sept%202006/5-2.jpg

These are the new pages:

[Fran98765]

Nice improvements Lisa. :) Here's my itinerary page I made. I may add a 2nd page with pics to it, not sure yet. All pieces are from Seebee's.

http://home.insightbb.com/~baity-scrapbook/wdw2006sitinerary.jpg

[Aimerskoeh]

Wow...all these pages are awesome..
wish I could create something like good digitally or by hand..
good work

[bookmompooh]

lisa- i love the "pie" epcot page...very clever...great layouts!

[j_lehr]

Lisa & Fran - Great pages. I love the itinerary page - I would have never thought to do that. And Lisa - the pie page is amazing...so creative...I can't figure out how to get my pictures any shape but square. LOL

[Lisa0503]

Lisa - the pie page is amazing...so creative...I can't figure out how to get my pictures any shape but square. LOLThanks. I will admit, it is totally scraplifted. You can download the template at: http://www.digiscrap.ch/freebies.html I am constantly reading & practicing the PSP Tutorials over at www.scrapbook-bytes.com. I have learned how to do so much thanks to that site (and I still have so much to learn)

[Renysmom]

Wow I love all the new layouts that have been posted this week.

Sorry i haven't been around, my work is getting crazy. We lost 3 people and they aren't replacing them until the new budgets are announced (late June) so we are working way to hard right now. I am really looking forward to the weekend :goodvibes

[Lisa0503]

Hi Kelly -

Sorry to hear you have such a overload of work. Hopefully it will lighten up for you soon.

[j_lehr]

The Digiscrap website is great - thanks! And I plan to start doing some reading over the weekend...I really need more time to devote to my new hobby. LOL :rotfl2:

Thanks,
Jes

[Lisa0503]

Here is a new page I put together today....

I 'think' I am just about done with my Disney Album now (as long as I don't decide to rework more pages ;-) Now I really have to get scrapping my Disney Cruise photos from Sept '05

[j_lehr]

I just found these cute, cute, CUTE little animals from DeDe Smith at Digitals, and knew I had to have them for my Animal Kingdom pages. :thumbsup2

I downloaded those same animals from Digitals!! They are so adorable. Haven't had a chance to use them yet...

[Caitsmama]

Great work everyone!! Sorry i have been away -- rough couple of weeks! But i am back and will post some lo's tonight!
Thanks

[Fran98765]

Love the cars one, wish I had seen that before she took it down! Another from me:

http://home.insightbb.com/~baity-scrapbook/wdw2006shulahoop.jpg

[Lisa0503]

Good to have you back Caitsmama!!! I am always so inspired by your great layouts and am looking forward to more ;-) So whereabouts in RI are you from? I grew up in EG (in fact my parents are still there so we visit them every Sunday) DH & I moved just over the line into north eastern CT a few years ago because the houses were much more affordable but I do miss RI.

[Caitsmama]

FRAN - love the way you used that MK pic!! Awesome!!

Lisa - I am in Tiverton RI -- All the way across the lil' state from EG! LOL, but i love where i am cuz it's only 15 min from Newport, and 20 min from Providence.. And i also have a store in Tiverton.. down towards Little Compton - We are 2 miles from Sakonnet Vinyards. Great day trip for ya! LOL
Where in CT are you now? My grandmother lives in Manchester CT.

[Renysmom]

Hey all.. Glenda Ketchum has released another disney themed kit and it's a Princess mega kit.. 4 kits in one. Here is the link:

Where in CT are you now? My grandmother lives in Manchester CT.My hubby and I went on a tour and wine tasting at Sakonnet back when we were dating. It is lovely out that way. We now live in Plainfield, CT. It is 10 min over the RI border but you have to travel thru Western (rural) Coventry for the most direct route.

Thanks, I merged 2 different backgrounds and a pic of Main Street to get that effect. Can't wait to see your shapes! Isn't it fun learning new tricks? :) :goodvibes

Wow...everyone has been really busy. What great layouts!!!! Keep them comming. I love looking at all of them.

[Renysmom]

Jessica - Your TOT layout is awesome.. I may have to scraplift it., The hula hoop one is such a great idea with that background.

Caitsmom - Goofy's candyshop is awesome. I want to lift that too hehehe.

I uploaded 5 layouts from this week to my blog and there is a freebie template for anyone who wants it. No disney kit designing for me this weekend but I hope to do some more as soon as I get a few hours to really concentrate.

Link to my blog is in my signature.

[Caitsmama]

Jessica -- Great los!!!! I am cruising this year, and hoping Don "Ducky" Williams is on our new years cruise!!! My MIL bought me a lithio last year that he signed, and i love it.. i would LOVE a drawing class! Did he do the class?? Or am i just not making any sense?! LOL ;)

I am not really sure who did the drawing class...there were a few cast members that seemed to rotate from what I saw...When are you cruising? I will be back in Disney at the end of September and I know we'll be back at the drawing class for sure. =)
