Hi everyone - I am so blown away with just how creative you are all getting with your layouts. To use just 5 items and get so many different looking pages is just so awesome.

I'm very pleased you are all enjoying the freebie so much. I can tell you that I'm over the moon with all the excellent layouts.

I am so proud of you all. Awesome, awesome - those warm tingles will last with me all day long. Thank you so much to everyone.

For those wondering about the tutorial it's on my blog here;

http://carenasextravagance.blogspot.com/2008/02/tutorial-photoshop-new-release-product.html

however it is for people with Photoshop program.
The effect must be achievable with Scrapbook Max as well to some degree - I would imagine you'd have to change your image to B&W and play around with the opacity when you bring your photo into your page. I will take a look and see what I can come up to see if I can help you out.

But for the moment - very soon I'm going to meet up with Evee from Scotland - she is staying with us tonight before she goes on to Wellington. Really looking forward to meeting a fellow scrapper and Scrapbook Max member. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk shop and catch up.

So in the mean time - you will all have to wait. LOL Sorry about that.

Keep the pages coming - just love looking at them. So many beautiful pages. Awesome
Hugs from
Carena

One more time. I went back and read it again and I'm thanking I can only use the 5 things and a photo. so I did it again.

Now that I thank I might have it right. Let me say I love the pages you'll are doing grate pages. Sorry I took me 3 to get it right. but It was fun.

Now that I have found the papers....

Now that I have found the papers... since the papers were put in my backgrounds folder, how do I use them as an embie? With them in the background I can only use one background, I would like to layer the backgrounds... Can I move the papers to another folder some how? I hope I'm explaining myself well enough. I appreciate any advice

Wow you ladies are doing so great! Thank you O2BNGdHope, Lily and Carena for the guide. Will check out the blog shortly. Keep it coming ladies. :P

Mattchel, this is what I learn getting the paper ( thanks to our friends here) , you can do it in 2 ways:
1. from page, change image , the paper straight away become the background, difficult to manipulate it
2. Go to program Files where your scrapbookmax is ( could be in C or D drive, depends where you install SBM). So let say you install in C>program files>scrapbookmax>Galery>Images>Background>Alex-Add on the Groove .. here you find the paper. Just drag and drop to your page. This way you can manipulate it
Hope this is clear enough for you, have fun !!
