New Beginnings Clusters and Quick Page

10:33 PM | Posted by Carmins Chaos | Edit Post

Today I bring you three Cluster Frames and a Quick page using another beautiful kit from Laurrie of CheyOkota Digital Scraps called New Beginnings which you can find HERE. This kit is amazing and I hope that you all like the Freebies I made for you using this kit. All of these freebies are for personal use only and are Fullsize so that you can fit your pictures in them. I would love to see anything that you make using these goodies.

Here are the previews:

and here is what I did with the Quick Page...

I absolutely love my children and I thought even though this was flowery and a tad on the girly side I could argue that it is blue in color and its wintery... LOL

Hugs,

Well I just couldnt get enough of this kit. I have the tutorial that I posted on Decemeber 3rd that uses this same kit, I have 3 cluster frames to match this kit, and now I made my first Quick Page/Layout and it just shows how much can be done with Laurries beautiful kits. With over 100 elements anything is possible!!! All of these items were done using Winter Wrens a kit by Laurrie which you can purchase from: here.

Here is a sample of my quickpage that I made with my childs photo when he was younger.

Now below is a picture of the QuickPage/layout without the picture, as you see its hollow so you can add your picture of choice if you so desire.

Now Below I have 3 Cluster Frames that you can also use for your own photos and you can find the link below.

4.) Open a paper of your choosing ( I am using paper04.jpg in the papers folder)

5.) Resize the paper to sizing of your choice (I resized by 18%)

6.) Now paste this as a new layer

My Disclosure

My tutorials are just that- Mine.In other words I really don't want them on other sites or translated. If you would like to share my tutorial then please do just that by sharing the link to my blog or a link straight to the tutorial. At the time I write the tutorial I use the artists website at the time as well as the kit designers link at the time and it would take quite some time to go back and edit all of my tutorials and posts to reflect all changes that happen. So if by chance you cant find something or a link I provided has gone bad please contact me and I will do my best to help! I write tutorials in hopes that others will use them as a guide and send me their results so I can also post others results to show people other samples other than my own. All tutorials are written by me and any resemblance is purely coincidental. I write my tutorials in PSP 9 but they should work with other versions as well. Not all tutorials are for beginners but all levels of creators are encouraged to try working on the following tutorials!!! Have fun... and be copyright safe!!!!
