Instructions:
Some of the ladies in the PI-I SB Forum also saw the article in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine August/September issue page 63. They gave instruction for PSP program I thought after I saw it how easy to do this in PI program so am writing instruction for it. Kim posted the links for that article given is http://shutterbugkeepsakes.blogspot.com/2008/07/published-layouts-and-freebie.html You can collect some free ones there. Another link is http://scrappyshannon.blogspot.com/2008/07/two-more-disney-characters-and.html People are making them up to give away and you can just add a picture of your own. ________________ I am not giving you a size to draw your rectangle because you would go by your photograph size. Another factor would be where you are going to use this information. You may be doing a card for someone, a scrapbook page using this as the main photo, or a page for a book your making, my point is that size depends on where you are going use it. When you write your word or phrase, use all upper case letters when typing. The rectangle and word are merged together. Bring in your photograph if you haven't already, and look at the size. Resize your merged word and rectangle to the size of your photo now you won't get any distortion when you fill your photo into your rectangle with word. See below how that's done. You can add additional words under your text box with picture. Under MEMORIES I added "are made of this", and that additional wording is not merged with the photo text you did with picture. I simply off set it a bit. Here are some that have been turned in at the SB Forum already look at what they did...GORGEOUS! Thank you ladies for letting me show these here. 2 by Birgit Brenda Cindy [a side one] Hildi Rosalie WOW Lisa made these to share see her post at the forum for the link and her work preview is below.
