Layout Tips & Freebie

Well, I am trying to keep true to my New Year's resolution. THIS is what I enjoy doing and need to stick to. I created this layout, make a freebie right on it, and then recorded a video with it. I am so much happier sharing with you in this way than making a commitment with another group of people with a deadline....I just don't like designing, but I do like making things I know I will use in my layouts and sharing them with you.

This just felt good. I am happy tonight.

This layout is full of warm fuzzies!

Warm fuzzies to Jessica for sharing the filmstrip! You can get it here.

Giving back to Theresa at NDISB as the Paper, button, Heart, and Postcard are from the Cozy Kit she gave as a freebie during the ASDR kick off chat. I want to encourage you to always give back to designers when they share freebies by sharing the layout you make with their stuff.

Warm fuzzies to Candy for creating an awesome quote challenge. I love so many of these quotes! Um...KathyJ gets warm fuzzies for the prize in this challenge too.


Warm fuzzies to all of you too because HERE is the second old paper freebie I promised!

NOW DON'T JUST GRAB IT!.....make a layout with it and upload it to the gallery and then share it in this thread. This is the first "Use it! Challenge." Watcj for more!


Here is a video I created after I made this tutorial sharing some layout tips in how it was created. I do hope that this video is helpful in some small way to you.

The tips include filling in the holes in the filmstrip, ripping the edge of the photo to match the ripped edge of the filmstrip, making the quote have less visual weight, and a reason to use the lower opacity in the clone tool.
