Volume 2, Issue 10

Welcome to the July 2005 edition of the
 Simply Digital Newsletter! 

Oh, the simplicity of a summer day at the cabin or an afternoon at the beach. Soothing water, soft breezes, and gentle waves help lull us into a peaceful state amidst the busyness of everyday life. It is our hope that you can find your own gentle waves this summer and enjoy the simple moments...and then, once rested, that you feel inspired to scrap them! :)

We have been busily adding new download Page Paks and AlphaSets in our store, and see below for Beth's ideas on how to re-use them for different themes. She'll also inspire you to see what it is you like about your style and to capitalize on those traits. And, be sure to check out our 12 themed CD collections and great multi-CD specials.

See our sample layouts below for varied twists on themed Page Paks.

Peace,

Michelle Shefveland
and the team at CottageArts.net

New Twists on Themed Page Pak Downloads

 to create their custom layouts. Most commonly used are Adobe Photoshop/Photoshop Elements,
Corel Paint Shop Pro, and Microsoft Digital Image Pro.

Roseanne Miske gave our Plum Passion Page Pak a whimsical touch by adjusting the colors, using a candid photo, and journaling with a childlike handwriting font. Flower from Vanilla Dreams Page Pak.

 

Marie DiRaimondo added extra rhythm to our brand new Rose Elegance Page Pak with her dance photo. She layered two papers and the chalked rose overlay, using blend modes in Photoshop to create a whole new background paper. Cream Ribbon from Bridal Pearls Page Pak and Button with Tie from Romance Page Pak.

Sharon Hammond went heritage with our Bridal Pearls Page Pak...she cut the lace from the linen and lace paper  and made the tag by modifying the wine glasses tag. Look at the detail of the ornate frame by clicking on the image to enlarge.

Rather than focus on national freedom, Michelle Shefveland journaled about her daughters' desire for independence and personal freedom, as teenagers. She used the Nautical Page Pak download and Freedom metal title from our Simply Recreation CD.
