Thanks to a little pep talk with Aggie (plus for telling me about Becky’s page maps), I was able to scrap again. 

Found a nice freebie to go along with one of Mikee’s recent pictures.

Btw, while searching for freebies for the layout. I stumbled upon a nice free quick page for a boy. I know how hard it is to look for freebies, much more that are intended for boys. (Good thing there’s so much for little girls like Mikee) So I thought of posting the link here.

I know, I know. This is a scrapblog, naturally, I need to scrap. A bit busy the past 3 weeks. But we’ll get there.

For now, let me share a layout of mine that you probably seen.
But I’m sharing anyway.

Here’s a simple layout, picture taken on Mikee’s first birthday party. We are busy watching a magic show here. She just woke up here which explains the messy hair. Yes, she slept on her own party!

Btw, you may view supplier reviews, video and some pictures here.

This is my favorite picture of me and my daughter.
I took this (yes, I used the timer) when she was just one week old.

Let me share with you how I made this page.

Tool/s:
Adobe Photoshop

Materials:
Afterhours paper from ScrapSpace;
LimeTea words from ScrapArtist;
SillyBirdNut flower from ScrapbookBytes;
SweetSprinkles Pink dot ribbon from ShabbyPrincess;
film strip

Steps:

1. Open the scrapspace afterhours paper. This will be the “cardstock” of the scrappage.

2. Open the picture to be scrapped. Resize the picture to 3600 pixels to occupy the same width of the background paper.

3. Since a film strip will be placed on the right side of the scrappage, flip the picture horizontally so that the subjects are facing towards the center and the film strip.

4. Select all (ctrl+a), copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) into the background paper. Drop shadow by double-clicking the text layer. When the layer style window appears, check drop shadow option. (see below)

5. Add the pink dot ribbon. Drop shadow. (same as step 4) Next, add the limetea word in such a way that some part of which is laid on the background paper, and some on the picture.

6. Invert the color of the limetea word.

7. Add it on top of the black limetea words.

8. Cut the lower part on top of the picture.

9. Add the pink flower beside the area where the film strip will be positioned.

10. Add pictures behind the film strip. (Tip: sequential pictures are usually used in film strips) Save this as PNG file so that the holes of the strip are still clear. Rotate this 7 degrees clockwise.

11. Add this to the scrap page. (same as step 4)

12. Add another pink flower this time on top of the film strip. Use the lasso tool (shown below) to cut off some petals from the flower on top)

Lastly, Save.
