There are 2 brads holding [element may be called a decorative button!] down the papers on the side lets make those. There are a variety of shapes you could use in place of these and easily made. Mine are very simple ones for this page. Use the path drawing tool, select a circle shape, the color of your choice, 3D-Custom, a small box will come up that says Tool Settings Path. Change the settings to these... Draw a circle 50x50and place it on your paper close to the middle on the outer edge as mine is. Keep selected, hold down your shift key and also select the top paper. Using the pick tool Center Vertically, that will place it in the middle. Deselect. Select only the brad, Rc Shadow, select the all around shadow, that we did before, and change the settings to transparency 50, shadow size at 100, and soft edge 8. If your not happy with how this looks on your color paper then just change the shadow settings. Keep the button selected. We need another one. On your key board there are 4 buttons with directional arrows. Located at the bottom right side next to the numbers. We will use them in the next step. Rc duplicate. Using your keyboard, the right directional arrow button, click on that button and hold it down, you can move the duplicated brad across to the other side and it will be lined up correctly. A series of clicks will be necessary as you see it move to the edge of the photo. When I first learned to do this I over shot the paper! I just had to choose the left direction arrow and tap it in place. It doesn't take long to get the hang of doing this and it makes it so much easier when you have these brads on each corner. you can make a few more brads by duplicating one you just made and place them on your small papers with words. I did resize those to 40x40 so they would fit better. Move those by hand and put them on the edge of the paper. For the rectangle at the top, with the Path drawing tool, shape rectangle, color of your choice and 2D. Make one w2400xh227. You can adjust it if you need to if the height of 227 is is to short or to long for your page. Rc Arrange -send to back Align Horizontally Since this paper has your title on it don't choose to dark of a color. I used a green color from the leaves in one of my photos. I wanted to give this paper a bit of depth. Keep paper selected. Effects/ Fills and Textures/ Texture filter. Select Effect/ Embossed, Select texture from the drop down arrow. From the textures choose emboss003.bmp [the 3rd on on the top row] Change your settings as above. You can preview to see what it looks like and change the settings if you wish. You can use a different paper but if so use close to the above settings. If you would like some texture on your background you can do that as shown above. Perhaps use the first texture with these settings. Try it to see if you like it. Do a final I use the .ufo and PI program when I do my prints. If you are going to print using another program then save it as a .jpg. Keep your .ufo to use again with different pictures and a different arrangement of the things you just made. Note: I will tell you that if you resize this page you will not see the textures very well, if at all. I will explain how to resize and you can easily redo the top with your texture and your background, so you can see the texture. In order to show at the board, or to e-mail someone your page, it needs to be resized. See settings below. If you want a finished size to be 600x600 pixels change to 25% I do show additional settings and suggest 23 or 24%. You now have a new size so save this but RENAME* it, as a .ufo. You can keep the same name but add sm to show you it's the smaller one in the name of your file. You have now fully protected that original page. If you look page closely at your page you will see that it has lost the design in the top paper. It's your choice to leave it alone or redo it. It will show better if you just redo the texture with one change to the way it was done before. Change the 100 setting to 50. Do the background also if you need to. Don't forget you can preview your design if necessary, while you adjust the settings. Save again after your changes and Save also, as a .jpg file for your e-mails or to show at the board. I hope you enjoyed learning how to do a scrapbook page and I would love to see your page. It will be different, than mine here, in colors and photos. I hope your very proud of your work. Give yourself a big pat on the back and show me your page! If you found any places that gave you trouble just e-mail me and I will help you. Please look at page 4 at all the completed pages I received form others. If you wish to do so, post your results in the Scrapbook and Crafts forum of the PhotoImpact International Bulletin Board.
