Web Photo Inspiration Board 1 *Freebie* {CU}

Photo Inspiration Board 1

I made a “Photo Inspiration Board”. So, you may be wondering what on earth is a “Photo Inspiration Board” – well, it’s a template for you to pop your favourite photos into and display on your blog quickly and easily.

I wanted to post a few of my favourite black and white photos, but didn’t want to post them all one-by-one – I generally think this looks messy. I remember seeing the idea of a collage of photos on other blogs and decided to give it a go. After I finished it, I thought it might be fun to offer it up as a freebie incase anyone else wants to do the same on their blog.

So, here it is! My first “Photo Inspiration Board” ready to be used. How? Keep reading!

I have included the Photoshop layered file with clipping masks and an optional shadow. If you use the shadow (optional) it will be 600px X 893px in size. As it’s for a blog, it’s 72dpi, which is the correct resolution for the web. If you would like to use it on your scrapbooking layouts, I would suggest changing the resolution to 300dpi.

If you don’t have Photoshop, don’t worry! I’ve also included two .png files – one with a shadow and one without. These are not as quick as using clipping masks, but they’ll get the job done: simply slot your photos behind each photo opening in the template.

Ok, enough talking – let’s get onto the template!

(I numbered it – that means there will be more in the future *lol*)

Hope you enjoy using it as much as I did! If you want to see my post using this inpsiration board, CLICK HERE. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I love feedback (and of course you make my day with your comments!).

Enjoy!

6 Doodled Photo Frames! *Freebie* {CU}

Doodled Photo Frames - Set 1

I thought these would match my page borders, but they came out totally different!

In this set there are 6 frames, four of which are based around the same rectangle.

Most of them have been designed at a 4×3 ratio and so should fit most photos without too much resizing. The other two are a little more funky and aren’t a specific photo ratio.

As usual, they are .png files, 300dpi etc.

While it’s downloading, if you could leave a comment, you would make my day! =)

Enjoy!

Handcut Paper Shape Template *Freebie* {CU}

2010

I got a new iPhone! So, I decided to make a layout about it and in the process made this template. I LOVE the look of rough handcut photos and so couldn’t trash this template when I went a new direction with my iPhone layout (I’ll post about it later!).

This is a layered Photoshop template and was created using CS4, although it will probably work in all versions with no problem, including Photoshop Elements (I’d love feedback on this). It won’t work in any other programs.

The easiest way to insert your photos is to use clipping masks. I will do a tutorial when I have time for people who are not familiar with clipping masks – but trust me… they make digital scrapbooking SO much easier, faster and more fun. What’s more, they’re deceptively simple.

In brief – put the photo you want above the square you want to fit it in. With the photo selected, click Ctrl+Alt+G (Windows)  or Command+Option+G  (Mac).

Enjoy!

Big Flower Brush & 4 Papers {CU} {S4H} *Freebie*

I sat down and felt like doodling… so I did! The result was one big ol’ flower that looked pretty funky so I decided to keep it. I threw together a few papers and then thought, why not make a freebie out of it! Fun!

So, here you go, another freebie! You’ll get four papers (12×12 – 300dpi etc.), a .png file of the big ol’ flower and a brush file (.abr) for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements users.

I love this flower. It’s so big and so doodley (is that a word?).

All of it is {CU} and {S4H/S4O} friendly.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

And… what do you think of the new preview? Hmmm…. not sure if I like it. But I love clean and simply and grey is just divine… Not sure if I like the new logo either. I know I forgot the shadows. Would love your feedback!

Enjoy!

Indian/Paisley Inspired Funky Doodle Papers - {PU} {S4H} - Freebie

After creating my last funky doodle freebie, I decided to give creating papers a go! Now, I love my doodles, but am not really into making papers. After having one digi-scrapper suggest it in a post a while back, I thought…. why not?

So, here you go – a set of 12 papers using my funky doodle brushes. There are 6 patterned and 6 solid papers. They are 12×12 and are jpegs – all 300dpi, as usual.

To make them easier to download, I have split them into two downloads: 1 just for the solids and another for the patterned papers.

I think you’ve probably noticed by now that I love doodles! Here is another set that I whipped up for a layout I’m doing. After making them I decided not to use them! Typical! They are CU and S4O OK.
