In Episode 4

I've found that I'm so much happier when I take a few minutes each day to celebrate the good things in my life! That's what this album is all about - we'll combine photos of our everyday loves, together with inspiring quotes, and a little bit of bling to create an album we can look at again and again to put a smile on our faces!

One of my favorite ways to take advantage of the power of the computer as a scrapbook tool is in making albums. After you have a basic framework laid out, the album comes together in a snap! I'll show you secrets for producing albums that are visually stunning, but streamlined in production.

This album is an accordion-style album we'll create from scratch, and I know it's a pattern you'll be using over and over again! I can't wait to show you!

What You'll Learn

In the Photoshop screencast (for Elements and CS4), I'll show you how to:

  • Create new Photoshop documents to hold photos, quotes, and a little bit of journaling
  • Add digital frames to photo edges
  • Justify type
  • Speed production of a multi-page album with quick Photoshop tricks

In the video class, I'll show you how to:

  • Create an accordion album from 5 sheets of cardstock
  • Add a loose binding to your album for a clean, put-together look and a self-tie!
  • Punch up the impact of an album with color, pattern, and placement
  • Create a secret pocket page for the final page of the album

What You'll Need

For all the Scrapbook Alchemy classes, you'll need just a few basic tools:

  • Photoshop Elements 5, 6, or 7 OR Photoshop CS2, CS3, or CS4
  • An inkjet printer capable of printing photos (letter-sized is fine, no need for a wide-format)
  • Photo paper
  • Scissors
  • Trimmer
  • Adhesive
  • Pencil

Scrapbook supplies you'll need:

  • Matte board (available at your frame or craft store)
  • Cardstock
  • Coordinating patterned papers
  • Chipboard letters
  • 3-inch circle or scalloped-circle punch
  • Self-adhesive rhinestones
  • Liquid glue
  • Twill or grosgrain ribbon for the binding
  • Other ribbon for tying the tags

I'll provide you with all the downloads you'll need, and professional instruction to help you learn how to scrap the hybrid way! And don't forget: Just like all our classes here at JessicaSprague.com, you'll have access to your course material FOREVER!
