Both are very nice. I really like your style.

Great page and card. On the page is that a transparency overlay on the pictures or rub ons. It is really pretty looking. I may scraplift your card if that's ok with you.

I was wondering too what you did on the pictures. THat is a really cool technique. I love the pages. Great job!

Cathy & Amanda -

That is an overlay that I had printed on the photo when I had my pictures printed. Cheating, I know but I couldn't resist. I used scrapbookpictures.com. They have many photo sizes they can print and I wanted to shrink a few down for my DH Grandparents 50th wedding anniv LO. Well, needless to say I found the overlays. They do cost extra so I only printed on a couple with an overlay(I am convinced my Goddaughter is worth it!! tooooo CUTE).

I think the digital scrapping experts in this group might be able to tell us how to do it in a photo editing software also.... Anyone???? I just haven't figured that out yet.

Thanks ladies.

I am just really happy that I have been able to get some layouts done.

Way to go Tammie! I think you did a wonderful job on all of them. Love the winter scene ones. Where did you spend Christmas?

LOL! The winter scenes were from 2004 Christmas when it snowed in Victoria Texas. Lets just say I am a little behind. ;)

Thanks for the kind words.

Sure you can do your own 'overlay' if you're getting digital photos printed out. All you need to do is to have the bit/s you want to put onto the photo ready to use. Then you open the photo up in your editing program (like photoshop), and open up the digital embellishments. Then you just copy and paste embellishments onto the photo and put them where you want them to be. Save the file under a new name and then get it printed out as normal.

Thanks Karen. I do have photoshop that came with my camera. I will have to play around with it.

Hugs,

you're getting digital photos

Here's a little program designed especially to do it for you! I haven't tried it, I just found the link in google...

Or, if you want to try a program with a larger variety of choices, here's another one. It's shareware but if you just want to try it it's free... I'm sure there are other programs that'll do the same thing. But this is what I was really looking for - that frame on the photos wasn't really a 'graphic' it was an 'overlay'. A frame puts a coloured image over the top of the picture - an overlay 'cuts' the picture to take it down to a white background... About.com has a FREE bundle of overlays to download and use in your photo editing program (like photoshop). They're not very hard to use - if I could figure it out, anyone can!

I love the LO Tammy! Did you use white ink on the edges of the pics? That's a great look! I'll have to scraplift that sometime. The card is too cool, too. I love the blue and green colors.
