In Episode 5

The inspiration for this project comes from "before" my scrapbooking days. Before I started scrapbooking, I was TERRIBLE at taking photos. I have so few photos of some of my most precious memories. To resolve the situation, I adapted a page I could create with a photo that represents the experience (hey, if you don't have it, fake it!), and then text, a map, and embellishments to tell the rest of the story in all the detail I remember it.

You'll experience a smooth transition from the video class into the Photoshop instruction, and then back to the video class to assemble and complete the project. You'll LOVE how easy it is to learn amazing techniques you can use in dozens of different pages!

What You'll Learn

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

  • Add a faded, grungy edge to a photo
  • Desaturate and add texture to a photo
  • Download, resize, and print a map as an embellishment
  • Add a block of fully justified type
  • Add a drop-cap
  • Add a curving title
  • Print a reusable tracing pattern

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

  • Cut apart, assemble, and adhere your project
  • Use a printed pattern as a guide for tracing a cut-out
  • Run a cut sheet through your printer again to place type in hard-to-print places
  • Use fabric scraps, solvent ink, and rub-ons to create a one-of-a-kind embellishment
  • Finish off your layout with chipboard and mini brads

What You'll Need

For all the Scrapbook Alchemy classes, you'll need 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:

  • Cardstock (white and red)
  • Patterned paper (3 coordinating colors)
  • Chipboard letters

  • Mini brads
  • Decorative acrylic stamp and stamping block
  • Solvent ink (such as Staz-On)
  • Fabric scrap
  • Chipboard circle
  • White rub-ons

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! You will LOVE what you make!
