Welcome to Summer

Today I am featuring some of Lori’s digital files found at Snap, Click, Supply.  I plan to print one of these as a poster–an engineer print and put on our front door for the last day of school.

 

 

I  just used the Convert to Black and White function in Photoshop Elements to make one Black and White.

Products used:

Simple Summer Elements

Good Day Font

Have a fun weekend and craft something fun for the summer, or for grads, or for Dads.  Lori’s shop is still on sale for the Blog Hop Week, so pick up some new projects.

Digital Inspiration with Ashley

This week is Spring Break here for us.  We started the week out by Canyoneering near Zion National Park.  We had a great long adventure. And now it’s documented.  The great thing about digital scrapbooking is the freedom to move and resize items to fit your page and ideas.  I wanted a page with 4×6, 3×4, and 4×4 spots.  I took 2 of Lori’s Templates from Life Templates 4 and Life Templates 6 to make just the right template.  I just selected the top row from the first template and copied to the second template.  Since the location was the same (the top), everything is already lined up.  Then I just deleted the squares from the top row that I didn’t need.

Here’s my completed layout:

Lori Whitlock Digital Inspiration

Hi Everyone!  It’s Ashley today and I am here to share some Digital Inspiration.  I made this layout with several of Lori’s collections that are available at Snap, Click, Supply.  The Pinstripe Collection which features many things for Boys still worked here for my girl!

Pinstripes Collection:  Paper, Journal Card, Ampersand, Alpha

Photo Overlays: Everday

Tag Shapes: tag

That’s My Boy:  Soccer Ball

Fonts: Perfect Type, Thick

Life Templates Set 14

Get those pictures documented, saved, and printed.  I just recently had an external hard drive fail on me.  I had many pictures and layouts saved there and only there (broke the rule of having things stored in 2 places).  I am sad, but I am not sad enough to pay $300 or more to retrieve the files.  All the layouts that were on my external hard drive are printed! So some of the things I lost were extra pictures that weren’t on a layout.

Lori’s Collections are great to use in multiple uses not just the “theme.”  Have a great weekend!

Lori Whitlock Digital Files

Hi, Ashley here to give you some ideas about how to use Lori’s Digital Files that can be purchased at Snap, Click, Supply.  Another way you can use Digital Files involves saving to DropBox or emailing files to your phone, and using an App.  First download and unzip some Digital Files like Be Mine Valentine Collection.  Now transfer those files to your phone.  I used Dropbox–copied files into a folder in Dropbox on my computer.  Then on my phone I opened the DropBox app and selected a few Digital Cards and saved them to my Camera Roll.  Then I opened PicFrame App.

Select a Layout, and start inserting photos and cards.

You can adjust the corners of the frames to be rounded or square, and you can also adjust the shadow.  When finished, click on Share and save.  Now you can print it as a 12×12 or 8×8 at your favorite printer.

 

I hope you have a great weekend and Happy Valentine’s Day!
