So much FUN in the toy store

Marian says KAYA!

I love the Springtime Feeling kit by Danielle Young. It has all my favorite colors! Enjoyed completing this challenge too as I do want to finish more digital LOs.


Journaling:
So much FUN in the toy store. It's enough for you to look at the toys, touch and play with them in the toy store.You don't ask your mommy to buy any for you when its time to go home.

Materials Used:
papers and elements from Springtime Feeling Kit by Danielle Young. Fonts used Mercurious Script MT Bold and Perpetua from Microsoft Word.

Techniques Used:
Using Photoshop Elements I layered, used drop shadows, cut shapes from the patterned papers and outlined the shapes, used a basic round brush to make the scallops and holes in the scallops. I distressed the green background paper with a basic chalk brush.

About Me:
I have always loved doing arts and crafts. I used to make macrame belts, paper mache, hair accessories, cross stitch, candles, beaded accessories and Christmas decor. My current favorites are card making, stamping and scrapbooking. I think these 3 are intertwined with each other. I do believe these will be lifelong hobbies as there will always be friends to get in touch with, pictures to document and stories to tell. I am learning to use Photoshop Elements by reading on-line tips and tutorials and trying to do what I read. I hope to become a good photographer through the classes I just started recently.

Marian! Nice layout! You have to teach me how to do that scallop. Been wondering how others have done it. Nice job!

Hi Diane and Alby. Thanks for your comments. The scallop is really easy to do. Learned it from one of the free on-line tutorials. Sure I can show you how Alby.

Ms. Marian, love your scalloped paper. Can you show me how? tunay na tunay ang dating! Also loved how you cut out the flowers and fonts using the other papers.

Hi Marian,

As always loved both of your traditional and digital layout.

So beautiful.

Sabi na nga ba as I was reading your technique used I am sure that you used the brush technique which you are very good in doing your digital Layout. Galing! Loved everything in it.
