How To Use a Digital Scrapbook Template Tutorial
Artsy Layered Templates are quick and easy way to create a digital scrapbook page.
- Avoids overwhelm of beginning with a blank page.
- A premade design gives you a head start on creating a layout.
- Guidance for placing your photos and stories.
You will clip your photos, recolor template layers and place your digital scrapbook supplies.
1. Choose your photos. I had five photos that I wanted to include on my page. I wanted the focal photo to be larger than the detail photos. I looked through my templates and found Artsy Layered Template No. 151.
2. Open the Template in a New Document. I opened the template in a new document. I turned off all of the layers except for the photo layers.
3. Clip Photos to Masks. The template contains a “mask” layer for each of the photos. I clipped my photos to the various masks (Ctrl+Alt+G). After clipping the photos to the masks, the photos were resized to fit the masks better. I had to enlarge the mask, shadow, and frame layers for the focal photo.
4. Tell the Story. Once the photos were in place, I added the journaling. Whether you love to journal or not try to write something, even it’s just a few details! I have so many old photos without stories. All the names and details are lost. I want the people who look at my pages to know the basics.
5. Finish. I turned on the artstroke and splatter layers that are part of the template and added some doodles using a font.
Note: I could have given this page an artsier look simply by turning on and recoloring the paint layers that come with the template.
