Christmas Flowers

This is one of my favorite tricks. Just select a photo to use as a background, cover your 12 by 12 blank page with the picture then go to filters>blur>gaussian blur. Adjust and apply the blur to your page. Now add your photos,stroke outlines and title.
Have fun!

Starting 2011

I decided to start a blog with an idea a week for digital scrapbookers about 3 months ago and haven't done a thing about it. Well, that is about to change. Once a week, in 2011, I will post one of my layouts with a technique I used from Photoshop Elements. I teach classes at Scrapbooking Heaven in Westminster, California and enjoy working there as a part time sales clerk. Although I would love to do tutorials on this blog, I'm not crazy enough to believe I have time to develop a lesson a week, so if you have questions about something feel free to ask! I will post my first layout next year. Hey, that's tomorrow!!!
