How to Make Word Art – Digital Scrapbooking Tutorial

Since I started the Scraps of Mind Weekly Word Art Newsletter I’ve had a number of people ask me how I make my Word Art.

So I’ve put together this video tutorial for you so you can have a go at making your own. Word Art is a lot of fun to make and can be as complicated or as simple as you choose your design to be.

I hope that you enjoy the video tutorial and try making your own. And please don’t let that prevent you from signing up to the Word Art Newsletter and getting 3 pieces of original Word Art Design delivered to your inbox each week. You can build a great Word Art Collection and you’ll never be lost for a Scrapbook Layout title, journaling accent or a message in a greeting card.

I recommend that rather than viewing the YouTube version, if you have a reasonably good Internet connection, you click on the High Resolution version which is much easier to watch than the YouTube one.

Curled Edges Video Scrapbooking Tutorial

I was originally inspired to make this digital scrapbooking video tutorial by a post at Scrapbook Ideas which I found through the Digital Scrapbooking Blog Carnival.

Rolled or curled edges look great on digital scrapbooking layouts where you get the effect that the top paper has been torn and rolled back to reveal another paper underneath. And they’re not that hard to make for yourself. When you’re done you’ll have an element you can use over again on many layouts and can customise it to blend with whatever paper you’re using.

I use Photoshop Elements to make my Curled Edge but the method is good for any of the photo editing software programs but the names of tools and their location maybe different in different programs.

The papers used in this tutorial are out of Erica Hite’s magnificent Bookworm Collection from Scrap Girls

Blending Your Own Scrapbook Backgrounds – Video Tutorial

I’ve just spent the last day and a half learning how to make web videos so I thought I’d unleash my new skill on you all.

Some of you may recall a previous digital scrapbooking tutorial I did called Blend your own Backgrounds. Well I’ve redone the tutorial as a video, walking you through how I created the layout illustrated in the original tutorial. Plus a couple of other bonus tips. I hope you like it.

All the elements used in this tutorial are from the gorgeous Renew Collection by Shalae Tippett from Scrap Girls.

I made this video using Photoshop Elements but the ideas and techniques can be applied to most photo editing software packages.
