Some more recent pages

Here are some pages I have been doing.. I haven't had much time to scrapbook lately due to working.. But I have managed to get a few!



Sophie and Sage's Sealing in the Manti Temple:
I love how this page turned out (Di, if you want a copy let me know and I'll get one to you.)

Sheba:
This is Devin's truck (old truck). I made a page about it awhile ago but I have never liked it. I like how this one turned out. I did this for a Quick Page challenge at DSM.


Thanksgiving Point Farm Country:
Devin and I went to Thanksgiving Point to meet up with Leslie and Dave. We missed them, but we went to the farm. It was fun. I like this double page lo.

No Pictures Please:
This is from the Clark Family Reunion back in July. I am working on more pages to go with this one.. Devin hates getting pictures taken so I decided to scrapbook the bad ones anyway. Maybe someday he'll late me take the darn photos! lol



Turning the big 21:
I got the idea for hte lo of this page from Digital Scrapbook Magazine. There was an ad on one of the pages which was layed out this way. I thought it was fun. I'm not loving the background I chose, but it will work.


Credits:
I can't remember all of them and unfortunately I didn't write them down. (If anyone recognizes anything will you please let me know!)

Tutorial and the Quick Page

I was asked how I made the ribbon slide for the quick page (QP) and if I'd make a tutorial for it. So, here is the tutorial for how to make the ribbon slide. And here is the quick page. Thanks for your interest!



Here are the QP's. One for 12x12 and one for 8.5x11.
12x12
8.5x11


Make a ribbon and ribbon slide from paper and gels
(Photoshop CS2)

1. Open your paper and gel and drag onto page.
2. Cut your ribbon to the shape/size you want. Use the marquee tool to select the length and width by clicking and dragging. Then right click, select inverse. Then delete.
3. Add a shadow and bevel to the paper to make it a ribbon.
4. Now you are ready to make the ribbon slide. Place the gel where you want it on top of the ribbon. Then take an eraser the size of the holes you want, then erase two lines. If you hold shift while you are erasing it will erase in a straight line.
5. Now use the eyedropper to select the color that borders the gel from the inside first. CTRL click on the gel icon in the layers palette to select it. Make a new layer. Use your brush slightly bigger than the erased ‘holes’ and draw a straight line from top to bottom. Deselect
6. Make new layer. Ctrl Click the layer icon for the new color around holes. Right click, select inverse. Use the eyedropper to select the next color and use a slightly larger brush to draw around that on the new layer. 7. Repeat the step one more time with the last color. 8. Now to erase the extra inside colors.. CTRL click on the original gel then right click and select inverse. Then click on each new layer and hit delete. Then deselect and merge the layers so you have only the gel layer left. 9. Now you need to make the ribbon go through the slide. Make sure you are on the gel layer. Use your marquee to select the area the ribbon will go ‘over’. Press delete.
10. Now you need to make the shadow continue onto the gel where the ribbon passes over it. Make sure you are on the ribbon layer. Use the burn tool with a small brush to draw the shadow on there. (For Elements users 4.0 and below- Use a small, very soft, transparent brush with black and draw the shadow. Hold shift as you draw to make a straight line.) 11. The last two steps are to make the ribbon look like it bends slightly as it is going over the hump in the center. First you take the burn tool with a large brush and low exposure and draw straight down along the outside ridges of the center. Then you use the dodge tool with a small brush and low exposure to draw along the inside ridges of the center. (Elements users: Use the small transparent, soft brush with black for the burn tool, and with white for the dodge tool.) 12. Now you are done! If you want to know how to make one of your own gels so you don’t have to use a premade one, let me know…

And then there were more..

Here are a few more pages to look at and enjoy. I love them! There are a couple of things on here this time I would love to give away as freebies if anyone is interested. If you are interested then leave a comment and I will post the download link *you'll just have to check back after a couple of days* If there isn't any interest then I don't see the need in posting a link.. let me know.. Love you guys!

A few months ago I got 'purse tagged' on my normal blog. (http://devincrystalclark.blogspot.com) We had to take a picture of our purse and it's contents. Then we had to list each object. I thought it was a cute idea for a page..


Amber, Quinn and Tate, Nate, Devin, and I all went to see the monster trucks at Rocky Mountain Raceway.. It was really fun. This was a challenge made by Quinn to use her template. I thought it was a very cute template!
I did this page for an album as well. (Please ignore the white stripe on the frame. I do not know how it happened, but I have fixed it on the full version copy.) This was also a challenge at elementalscraps.com. It was fun!

This page was done as a scraplift of JoDee's for another ES challenge. JoDee's hubby, Josh, is pretending to lick the fishes' mouth! hehe!
I love this page. I don't know why, but I have always loved these photos of me. This was also an ES challenge..

The next two are for the second part of Quinn's challenge. She told us to make a template and then post it along with our finished page. Here is my template. (The bow is part of a kit, if you want to download my template let me know and I will change the bow so it doesn't have any copyright issues..)
Here is the lo I made..
I will post the credits next week.. I am in the process of reformatting my computer.. I just had to get these on here so I didn't have to save them...
