Digital Scrapbooking Quick Pages

Once your quick page is downloaded, open it into your photo editing software. (My favorites are Photoshop and Photoshop Elements)If you are using a photoshop product, open the quick page into a layer.

Create a new layer and copy your photo onto that layer. Place the new photo layer under the quick page layer. Move photo so it appears in the quick page photo opening. Resize and make adjustments to photo as neccesary. Merge layers.

All done! Now wasn't that easy? So easy, so why not give it a try.

Journaling is a great way to add your voice and thoughts to your layout.
Create a new layer above the quick page layer. Select the type tool, choose your font, and type your thoughts. You can easily change the font color or size.
If you are lucky enough to have a wacom or bamboo graphics tablet, you can add journaling in your own handwriting. Again, create a new layer and just start writing on your tablet.

So many ways to use your quick pages. My favorites?

I like those digital photo frames. What a great way to see all your layouts. Why not try a few quick pages and add them to a digital frame. Wow your family and friends. How about giving a digital photo frame complete with layouts to grandma and grandpa? They have everything, but I bet they don't have scrapbook pages on a digital frame.

Or how about printing your finished layout and place in a photo album. With quick pages an entire album can be created and printed in no time. Be sure to print on acid free white cardstock or matte photo paper.

Interested in keeping it all digital? Create a digital album. No paper, no printing. Burn your layouts onto a cd and share with family and friends.
