Back to scrapping...

Hi everyone!!!

I was sooo dizzy these past few days and I'm unable to face the computer for long hours.. 

(I guess it's the effect of spinal anes during my C-Sec last Monday)

But yesterday, I tried to scrap a page.. and here is it....

KIT: Suzy Q

I also made a cover page for my FB Timeline =)

KIT: Suzy Q

Life at 37 weeks pregnant

I’m 37 weeks  yesterday, and I feel like I’m just about ready to pop.

I have swollen ankles, heartburn& indigestion. 

The bump (and the boy) are getting bigger and rounder. 

His kicks are so strong now, and feel like they’re reaching my ribs! 

I’m still having trouble sleeping, despite my body being pretty tired and I’ve lost count of the amount of times I have to go to the toilet during the day

 I just hope he doesn’t come out during the Holy week!

KIT: SUZY Q SCRAPS

36 weeks Preggy DS

Here I am in all of my 36 week glory! 
We are entering the final countdown here. 
It is good to see the finish line right now. 
I find that I am more than ready to just bring on this next stage of our lives. 
While overall I am still feeling good, the extra weight and size are dragging me down a bit. 


I am at the point where getting comfortable can be quite difficult. 
Some nights sleep is descent and then some nights it is really hard to come by. 


Also, I really want to meet this little man.

Tutorial: Creating DS using MS Powerpoint

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I have received several questions from friends and online buddies on how to create Digital Scrapbook Pages but once I tell them that I use Adobe Photoshop: they seem to lose interest..

Well, I understand… Adobe Photoshop sounds too difficult.

But there’s a very easy way to create your own DS and that is by using our friendly MS tool..which is…

Microsoft Powerpoint.. yup..

Powerpoint.

 I found out that I can create DS using this tool when my Adobe PS crashed.. and I was desperate to make a Birthday page for a friend..and I was not disappointed with the outcome.

Here’s my simple tutorial…

STEP 1

Open your MS Powerpoint

STEP 2

Choose Layout then click BLANK

STEP 3

Open a Background Paper.

Note: Like what I’ve mentioned in my previous tuts, set a layout/design in mind so that you won’t have a hard time executing it

STEP 4

I will open a new paper and will layer this as an embellishment.

 How to crop?

Go to the Crop Tool on the upper portion of your screen.

Once you see the Crop Edges, crop as desired.

STEP 5

Assemble your added embellishments

I added 3 new embellishments here:

1.       Green Flower

2.       Another Flower

3.       Swirl

STEP 6

Add the Picture

TIP: It will appear more appealing if you choose your color combination using the base color in the picture that you will insert (e.g. you are wearing red, use red paper and elements)

Okay as you can see, the picture is HUGE.

You can resize it by using the circle buttons on the edges of the pic.. but use the upper right button so you won’t end up distorting the image.

Here’s my desired size..

STEP 7

Re-arranging Layers

If you noticed, the image is blocking the embellishments.

You can move the image backwards by using the Selection Pane

Click the button on the lower right side of your screen to re-arrange layers.

You now have the picture behind the embellishments

STEP 8

How to Tilt images or embellishments

Easy.. just click on the green circle and it will let you tilt the image

STEP 9

Editing the Picture.

Go to Picture tool then click Contrast or Brightness.

STEP 10

Adding wordart.

Go to HOME the insert Wordart

You can choose the font by going back to HOME then choose your desired font.

And here’s my finished layout

 STEP 11

Saving the image as JPEG.

You need to click the Slide Show icon.

Once you see the page, click PrtSc (PRINT SCREEN) on your keyboard.

Open PAINT (in the Accessories of Windows) then hit CTRL V.

Save the File as JPEG

STEP 12

Finalizing the DS

Open the image using Microsoft Photo Editor.

Click Crop then crop the unnecessary edges

Once done, save the image…

TA DA!

Here’s the finished DS.

It’s very simple but pretty.. right? J

Hope this tutorial helps!
