Summer QP

Hello! Today's freebie has two parts: one download is for the 12x12" size, the other one I made for the people that have 8.5x11" size pages.
In this offer, everything is in its own layer: the title (that you can customize with your own font and style), the leaves, the sky, water and sand. The polaroids are also split into two: the white frame and the black mask, that way you can 'glue' a picture on the black mask (Ctrl + G) and your page is done.

DOWNLOAD 12x12"

DOWLOAD 8.5x11"

Each one is a .psd file, 300 dpi, some shadows.
Have fun scrapping!

Spring Butterflies

I loved working on this page. I had originally a 12x12" paper, greyscale that I colorized purple. I added the butterfly brush and took out the paper to the left of the butterflies. I added a yellow style to the cuties, then added the phrase 'spring,' using font Poplar. I rasterized the type, then added a pattern to the word, then a bevel. The left side of the page, under the word is clear, so you can leave it blank (it will turn white when you print it) or you can add a contrasting paper, your choice.
It's still a 12x12" page, .png file, 300 dpi, no shadows.

Cherries Paper

I made this paper with a freebie from Paci Peroni at http://pacitubes.blogspot.com/.
I did put the cherries all over the page, then I decided to erased a big chunk and just leave the two sides. I added a background paper from Delicious Scraps, colored it to match the leaves, and done.

This is a 300 dpi, .jpg file, 12x12 paper, no shadows.
Have a great weekend!

Christus Overlay

Just in time for Easter, this is a great way to showcase an important day.
I had a picture of the Christus, so I took out the background, using a filter I  turned the picture into either a stamp or a photocopy (don't remember which), then I took out all the white parts. Since the black lines were too thin, I added a black stroke to everything, and what was left was visible.
I then opened a 2 in sq new document, placed the image inside, with plenty of room around and saved it as a pattern. I used the pattern to make a first impression, and all the images lined up like this:

        .   .   .

        .   .   .

I wanted something more like a diamond formation, so I doubled up the image in another layer and moved it around until I got it the way I wanted.
What you get is a .png file, 12x12", black ink, no shadows. I put a blue background and turned it white (Ctrl + I) just for show.

Enjoy!

Grunge Paper Template

Hi! Today's freebie is a paper template. If you look at the picture you'll see three different versions of the same paper.
The first one is the original grunge, in gray, you get that one today. The second one is just colorized. You know, Ctrl + U. I found a pretty green to use.
Now the third one I made after coloring to green. I used one of the filters in PS and PSE: fresco. You get that one too today. All you have to do to change the color is go to your color picker tool and move the hue lever left or right and you'll see it changing colors. It's pretty cool. :o)

DOWNLOAD Sample

You get two (2) 12x12" papers, one .jpg, one .png, 300 dpi. You get the original so you can play with it, and come up with your own papers. Add another paper on top, do an overlay, merged them, see what happens. You may like it and use it, or you may discard it and move on. Your choice.
Good luck!
