I did not know how to post these so I made them into smaller pictures and joined them together hope this is OK fonzzy

I think if I had read then I would not have had to repost as an attachment

Wow, I'm totally using these pages girls!! Thanks for sharing They are great

Thank you for the challenge Fiona! We will have to do these more often!! I made a couple of papers and was not sure what size to publish them at and how to upload them here at the thread.

wow ladies, look at all those gorgeous backgrounds

I tend to make 8x8 and publish at full size but they can be too big to add to the page, try standard if they come out too big or drop the page size to 6x6

Some good papers already, congrats all.

Question, Fiona, do they have to be made in Scrapbook Max? I use a couple different programs and made one in SBM and one in PSE. Know that I can share both; however, wanted to know what actually applied as the challenge.

Hope you are feeling better now.

sorry I've not been around much this week....my Bi-Polar kicked in, never a good thing and best if I stay away from people as I get a tad over emotional!

Fabulous page Frannie

If anyone would like to do a part 3 of this challenge here it is......

Part 3

using shapes, paperscraps (faded embellishments) I'd like you to make a background to share here

knowing that some designers can get funny about how you use their paperscraps I would suggest you start with basic plain colour paperscraps (if in doubt check with the person who designed the papers)

I personally am more than happy to let you use any of my paperscraps in this challenge

lets see how many of you can design in scrapbook max

Here's 4 papers I made for my Autumn layout. Used various textures from Photos that I had taken. Refined the leaves and flowers in PSE. Click on preview to see larger.

Hi Makeyesup,

How did you make a zip file to include all your papers, and how did you upload the zip file into the thread? I use Photoshop 7 and Scrapbook Max 2.0. I have never done this before.

Thank you,
Diane
