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.
