VIDEO TUTORIAL & DOTD with Layout Frames!

Hey Scrappy Friends,

This is my first tutorial with the new software I’m using for my own personal scrapbooking: Forever Artisan!  It is insanely-powerful and has so many more bells & whistles than MyMemories.  The best place to learn all about it is through a pixels2Pages Subscription through Forever - they have tons of tutorials, tricks, and templates ready for you.  But, I wanted to show off how my line of LAYOUT FRAMES can be used to quickly create a striking and eye-catching layout in just a few minutes!

There are a total of 8 sets of Layout Frames in two different sizes: 12”x12” and Seamless Layflat.  Each can be purchased separately, in Bundles of four packs (16 templates), and in Mega Bundles of all 8 packs (32 Templates).

Before watching the video, you’ll want to open Artisan and start a new 12”x12” or SLF project.  You should also know what photos you want to use and what kit(s).  For purposes of this tutorial, I am using 3 photos and a couple of papers - but the steps are the same no matter now many photos you use.

The collections used in this tutorial are BEACH PARADISE and 12x12 LAYOUT FRAMES - Circles.  Just click on the preview below to view the YouTube tutorial or use this link.

If you prefer written directions, here are the steps:

1. Open a new project - either 12"x12" or Seamless Layflat.
2. From the Home Ribbon, click Template --> Using Template from Art Kit.  Navigate to the Layout Frame you want to use.
3. Add the Photos you want.
4. Choose your content - the kit you want to use.
5. Customize the Layout Frame.  Add a shadow, add a 3D Edge if you'd like a bevel, recolor or cover with a paper.
6. Add any embellishments and/or a title.
7. Add journaling and date your layout.

To inspire you, here are some LAYOUTS created by my Scrappy Friends:

Now it’s YOUR turn!  The MEGA BUNDLES are today’s big DotD at Forever!!  Use the code DEALOFTHEDAY to save 50% OFF!

I can’t wait to see what YOU make.

Be sure to stop by the MagsGraphics Gallery Showcase Group on Facebook to show off your work!

For All Kinds of BUGGY Situations...!

 Hey Scrappy Friends - 

I've got some fun new items that have released today!  And the best news is that the code SHOPTHECROP will get you 40% OFF all digital art!  The coupon lasts until April 20th at 10am!

Ready to see the goodies?!!  These new packs are for all sorts of "buggy" situations... first up is... 🐞🐜LITERAL BUGS! 🐛🐝

As if the plague wasn't enough, this is the year that BROOD X of the cicada population will invade the Midwest.  Thousands of buzzing cicadas will burst from the ground, molt from their shells, find a mate, and die - leaving us with thousands of bug shells stuck to trees and littering the ground.  This brood hasn't been seen for 17 years - and if you live in an area with old trees - you will soon hear a cacophony of sound!  I've rebuilt the MUST LOVE BUGS collection and expanded it with a Cicada Pack and fun templates.  This collection is perfect for any BUGGY situation - not just cicadas! 

Two EGGS-cellent Deals of the Day!

Happy Easter, my scrappy friends!  Were you able to celebrate with your family and friends yesterday?  We worked our church's online service in the morning, had lunch with my in-laws, and took a great walk around the neighboring lake.  Hopefully, you took some PHOTOS of your Easter activities and are now ready to do some scrapping!  I have the Deal of the Day at Forever today, and you'll find BOTH of my newest Easter-themed collections 50% OFF with code DEALOFTHEDAY.  Remember, this promotion only lasts from 10AM EST on April 5th to 9:59AM EST on April 6th!

Faith365 RISEN is the newest installment in my ongoing Faith365 series.  This has been completely rebuilt and expanded from the original version (that I retired a few years ago).  It has woodsy textures and the beautiful palette you expect from the Faith365 sets.  Of course, you can mix-and-match this bundle with the other Faith365 series!

For your Easter Egg Hunts and Photos with the Easter Bunny, I have the HIPPITY HOPPITY EASTER Collection:

Take a look at some wonderful LAYOUTS with these collections...

I know YOU can make some wonderful layouts with these too!!
