Britt - I love your Pluto layout. The colors work so well with Pluto! Awesome job!

I love how you make things look like stickers ... like around or behind the Pluto gellie. What is the best way to do these? I have used stroke to give things a sticker-ish outline. Is this how you make these? TIA for any help you can give!

Yzerbear19 - Melissa, I love your Chip & Dale layout. The stamps are great and the signatures really added a lot! Great colors! Excellent job!

Thank you. I love the stamp frames by Lindsay Jane Designs but haven't really used them before.

Yzerbear19: I love the colors on your layout and the tilt to the photo frame. That is a great layout to scraplift for any number of things....lots of pictures! The autographs are really cute!

Thank you. I will say that Dale's autograph is probably one of my favorite ones from our trip. And feel free to scraplift away! It would be good for lots of things.

Yzerbear19- I love how you layed out the papers. I'm definitely going to remember how you used the date stamp with the tag, what a great idea! Did you make this page digitally beacause Chip & Dale are such a pain to put together on the Cricut?

Thank you. ha ha ha No, I've gotten quite good at putting them together on the Cricut. Its the ones from the Princess cart that give me issues.

Yzerbear - I love this one. It's classic, rustic, simple, and fun! Very appropriate for a Chip and Dale layout!

Thank you. I really didn't have anything really rustic, but liked the look of the papers, so I guess it worked out.

Great layouts everyone!!! Labdog's decision is not going to be easy!

What Susan said except I don't know what a stroke is either. I would like to know how to make a sticker outline for my gellie though. Is there a class later??

Yep, that's how I do it. I put a white outside size stroke in whatever size I like, then flatten it so I can add a shadow. I flatten it by duplicating the layer and merging the two identical layers together. Anyone know an easier way to do that? I just made that up cuz I couldn't figure out another way to flatten it.

I need to come back and respond to all the new entries. Wow, there are loads this week (and all so great!) Jessica, thanks for the 's, that should help me!

Yep, that's how I do it. I put a white outside size stroke in whatever size I like, then flatten it so I can add a shadow. I flatten it by duplicating the layer and merging the two identical layers together. Anyone know an easier way to do that? I just made that up cuz I couldn't figure out another way to flatten it.

You can link the two layers, and then select "merge linked layers."

Sort of OT from this, Britt, but since this is about shadows, can I ask a quick question? I was reading your shadow tutorial on SM, and you wrote about using gausian blur. Can I ask what radius you use for the blur? I was playing around with it on my entry (still not done, why is it taking me so long!?), and it wasn't looking like I hoped. Thanks.

Oooh, thanks! I love that sticker look, too and I had no clue how to achieve it. Now I'll have to root around in PSE and figure out where this stroke thing is...

Whew! So many great LO's! I'll come back soon and comment on all of them -- you guys got ahead of me! I also wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a spontaneous trip to the shore fr the next couple of days and won't be able to post the winners on Wednesday morning. It will probably be Wednesday night. Sorry! I couldn't pass up a couple of days of sand and surf when my Dad invited me and AJ along!

ngneer98 - I love how you used Britt's Goofin' Around and my Goofy together! I also love the torn paper strip at the bottom. I like you use of stitching, too. Great work!

Bernie-Ann -- What an ADORABLE picture! The Lo is great, too. Simple enough to highlight that fantastic picture perfectly! What size is that LO? 5x7? Are you doing it for a special album or something? It looks great! I love how you layered your background papers and ribbons -- I may have to scraplift that particular combo -- it looks great!!

tgmousechick -- you get the award for using the MOST of my word arts so far! Great job! I love eating at Chef Mickey's and you really captured the fun atmosphere with your LO! I am also glad to see that I am not the only crazy person who takes pictures of those Mickey Mouse chocolate dessert things. I them!! I have some great pics of them, too!!

TeresaNJ -- What a sweet photo! I love it! You really went to town finding elements and papers to make this layout just right! They all look great together. I love how you used the "Girl" and the pink & green flower from the mermaid kit. See, I never would have thought to look at that kit for a Goofy page and you made it work so well! That darn Britt, her stuff is so versatile!!

stenogoddess -- That looks great! I don't see why stitching can't be counted as a photowrap. I always appreciate "out of the box" thinking! I'm a pretty laid-back host, if you haven't already noticed! I'm so glad that you participated!

Britt -- What can I say? I totally love your LO. The papers are perfect for Pluto. I'm going to need to get those now!! I love how you stuck those elements under your photowrap. That looks awesome! Another thing I would NOT have thought of on my own. I'm sure you'll see that technique in one of my pages soon -- I love it! I also love how you made the word art into a sticker. Too cool. And the best part? The lime green Mickey Head!! (have you been around the DIS enough to know that's the official DIS secret sign? If not, you must just be psychic!!)

Pooh46 -- Great picture and a great LO. See, I was wondering what I'm going to do with all the fourth of July kits I have been downloading over the past week and now I know -- I'll use them for LTT Lo's! I love eating there and your picture just reminds me of all the fun! Great job on the title, too! Another creative use of the word Goofy -- awesome!!

Tinker326 -- Adorable LO! I recognized the Skip colors right away. They are just perfect for your little girls with Chip & Dale! If you are ever searching for them again, they show up a lot by the International Gateway entrance to Epcot and at Character Connection. We love the chipmunks, too!

Whew! I'm caught up now! Can you tell, I love all of the layouts! Keep up the good work, you still have time to get your entries in!!

What?! A lime green Mickey Head is the DIS secret sign???

Thanks Britt! I hope you don't mind that I scraplifted your sticker idea!

Thanks Jessica for the apostrophe and S. I added the 's and put a "stroke" border around the gellies!

 

[Fran98765]

LOL yes! When you go to the parks, tons of rooms and strollers and backpacks will have LGMH on them, it's the siiiignnn! But it has to be the Home Depot lime green!

BernieAnn: The layout is so neat...the layout of the papers and the ric rac in the background looks like Mickey to me. Such a great page.

tgmousechick: Love all the photos! You got a lot of stuff on the pages and it looks greaat!

TeresaNJ: The layout is so wonderful and bright. It really brightens up the photo so nicely!

stenogoddess: That is a great quick page and super photos!

Britt: Those colors are perfect! I love the autograph tucked in the photo wrap!

Pooh46: This may be my favorite this week! The colors are so wonderful together and I love how you used the Goofy word art as an appropriate Disney adjective!

Tinker326: The colors are so pretty...love brown and pink...and they complement the photos perfectly! Gorgeous.

This is a great tutorial on it, too, Susan.

I love the changes you made to the layouts, Susan!

Thanks for the tut, Terri! I'm going to have to study that and try to translate to PSE. Right now I'm just using the STROKE and then you pick your size and color... pretty easy. I think you can do the things mentioned in the tut in PSE, but I'll have to sit down and play with it. I love the results on that tut... the altered shadows really make it real. Reminds me of those little sticker books we played with as kids where the stickers all had white borders around them. Now that I'm a digi-scrapper, I had no idea stickers would draw me in again.

Thanks again, girl!

I love the little animated Chip & Dale in the circle! Such a cute addition to the layout!

I know it's a day away, but it hasn't come up yet....who is hosting the next challenge?

 

[sconnell]

Ok, so I'm so bummed that I can't work on this because I left my hard drive at home... DH just came home last night and I don't think I'll be able to spend an hour working on it tonight... So sad... I have a good LO in mind. Maybe I can get it done fast!
