Now For Something A Bit Different



Learning Digital Scrap booking

Quiet some time ago Brian bought me a computer editing program called Photo shop Elements 10
I wanted to learn to do digital scrap booking looking forward to our caravan trip in 2013, as with regular scrap booking you need & always want more – doing it digitally you only need a computer, your programme & whatever digital scrap booking downloads you have and you don’t need the Internet to do it. So I found some tutorials on PSE (photo shop elements) and decided it was time to find out what all the various bits & pieces are about. They are great tutorials & I have them in print copy for reference & any further refreshing that I need to do. I learnt so much & it's amazing just what can be done. Further posts show a bit of what I learnt pretty amazing actually I certainly surprised myself. Being away in the caravan & or doing the house sitting this form of scrap booking is great, meaning I can still enjoy my new found hobby. Digital scrapping does not have to be expensive as there are loads of sites that have free downloads. Below shows a few excercises that I did. More to follow

Below shows a background paper I made from scratch useing a GRADIENT
 

 Below shows a picture of a camera that I copied and coloured certain areas useing a GRADIENT


The below again is a picture that I copied & pasted then used the  GRADIENT & MAGIC WAND TOOL, the Magic Wand grabs on to certain areas & allows you to change the colour to that area only - amazing.

Below picture I did useing a CUSTOM SHAPE & made a MAT behind the picture
