New Styles

Author: Karen  //  Category: Categories

Good Morning!  Just wanted to stop by for a second to tell you about the two new styles I have in my stores!

The first one is my Concrete Styles.  I had so much fun creating the Styles Sampler that I made a whole package of Concrete Styles afterwards.  These styles give some great looks and are very versatile.  Here is a preview of the styles for you, followed by a few samples of what you can do with them:

sd_concrete_styles_500

Here is a layout created by Mozz, a member of my Creative Team!

And here is one by Bernie – I love how this looks like a stone tablet!

 And this is from Maria:

 

I just finished some new Embossing Styles.  These are great for making things look like they are popping off your page.  They work equally well for both elements and text.  If you are unsure of how to use styles, be sure to visit the Tutorial section of my blog and pick up my soooo easy Tutorial on how to use Styles in Photoshop Elements!

 

And here are a few samples to give you some ideas!

Maria used the Emboss Style on her frame in this LO:

Mozz used the style on the gray background mat, as well as to create the emboss look on the photo:

Bernie used it on the text and the Photo Turn:

Nancy used the style on multiple elements in her LO and also created a Sample for us to see how it looks on various elements:

 

Here is your freebie for today!  It is the asphalt style, which is included in the Concrete Styles Package.  Give it a try and see how you like it!

 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you again soon!

New Styles, New Word Art, and a Freebie!

Author: Karen  //  Category: Categories

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I have some new products to show you, new information for you, and a freebie QP.

First up …. did you sign up in the forum and/or to get the newsletter from the Digital Design Den last week?
If not, then you missed receiving the tutorial that I wrote on how to install Photoshop Styles into Photoshop Elements!  If you love Styles, you NEED this tutorial!  I have had so many ladies contact me and tell me that styles used to be so confusing, but now they understand how they work.  Why?  What makes this tutorial so different from others?  Because I wrote it assuming that you do not have any basic knowledge!  LOL!  That is NOT to insult you.  I  simply wanted to be sure to cover every question I have ever been asked about styles.  So the instructions are basic, simple, and very easy to understand.  If you missed receiving the tutorial, you can pick it up HERE for free.  A Styles Sampler is currently in my store for just $2.  This is a Sample of 4 different styles.  Give them a test run and see how you like them.  I am willing to bet that Styles will become an integral part of your scrapping tool box! Because these were a newsletter gift, given for free, personal use only was requested; however, if you purchase the styles, Commercial Use is allowed.

And if you find that you enjoy using Styles, here are my two latest Styles creations!
Tree Bark Styles are perfect for those masculine or outdoors projects!

And on the more feminine and artsy side are my Color Splash Styles!

My design buddy, Katie, of Just So Scrappy, has created an absolute Must-Have Kit full of cute little kids, amazing papers, and gorgeous elements!  This kit is very versatile and can be used to create cutesy “kid” pages, but is still very user-friendly if “cutesy” is not your style.  I had the pleasure of designing Word Art and Photoshop Styles to coordinate with her kit, “Have Tea With Me.” Katie’s kit can be found in her store at the Digital Design Den.

And here is my coordinating Word Art and Styles, which can be found in my store.

AND Bernie, of my Creative Team, has created this adorable freebie QP for you which you can pick up HERE!
It is created using papers and elements from Katie’s kit and Word Art from my Word Art Kit.

Thanks for taking a look!
I hope you come back again!

Photoshop Style Freebie Sampler & Tutorial for Styles

Author: Karen  //  Category: Categories

Good evening!

Just a quick note to invite you to sign up for the newsletter at Digital Design Den either today or tomorrow. Their newsletter will be going out on Friday and you won’t want to miss it if you are a Photoshop Elements (PSE) User.  I have many friends who love Photoshop Styles but are just intimidated by the difficulty of using them in PSE.  I went on a mission to write a tutorial for them – one that was clear, easy to understand, and not intimidating in the least!

I am absolutely delighted to tell you that I believe I have been successful!  Yahoo!

I had two educators, who teach Photoshop Elements, review the tutorial for accuracy.
And I had three PSE users, who were afraid of and frustrated by Photoshop Styles folow the tutorial and relate their experience to me.

This is what they had to say:

I’ve often looked at Layer Styles and wondered just how to load them.  I’ve even downloaded some and tried to follow the instructions but once I got near the “settings,” I was just too scared to carry on.  Does that sound like you too?  That’s why, when Karen asked me to try out her tutorial, I jumped at the chance, and I’m so glad that I did.  The instructions are clear and cater to every operating system and different versions of PSE.  It only took just over 5 minutes to work through the instructions, then another 5 for PSE to rebuild the database and there they were – ready to use!  Thanks so much, Karen for a great tutorial!
- Janice Pattie

Whos afraid of styles? NOT ME… anymore!  I have spent HOURS trying to figure these things out, but they were just NOT making any sense to me.  When Karen asked me to try out her tutorial on them, I told her I would – right after I brushed up on what I knew about styles.  I think I almost gave her a heart attack! NO!!! she said.  She just wanted me to go through her tutorial without any studying because that would be the best way to see if it made sense to me.  And you know what?  After a year of frustration and not understanding styles AT ALL, I had my first style installed within 5 minutes!  WOW!  This is a whole new world for me!
-Nancy Pohl

I was waiting over 20 minutes for my styles to rebuild and it was frustrating!  I followed Karen’s tutorial and was amazed that they rebuilt in about 5 minutes.  I had been doing it wrong all this time.  If you have PSE, go right now and try her tutorial.  You won’t be sorry.
-Mendy Crumpton

Each week, in the Den’s newsletter, Designers offer free gifts to subscribers.  I am responsible for the main gift this week.  My gift is a Styles Sampler, along with this tutorial.  This is a great way to try something new, without an expenditure on something you’re not quite sure of.

So please be sure to sign up, tell your friends, post on your Facebook page!
And don’t forget to sign up in the forum at the Den too.  There are many wonderful women there, just waiting to help you with any questions you may have, to participate in scrap challenges with you, and to just generally have fun.

Below is a preview of the Sampler that will be in the newsletter!
I sincerely hope that you give it a try!

SCROLL ON DOWN FOR YOUR FREEBIE TODAY!

And just as a thank you for considering taking this challenge, I am offering you today – something I rarely offer – and that is a WHOLE Brag Book in one download.  So if you missed my Discovering America Brag Book, here is is for you!  Pick it up while you can.  It will only be available as a complete album for 3 days!   You may download it HERE.

Discovering America!

Author: Karen  //  Category: Categories

Happy July 4th to you! 

While I am sitting here at my desk typing this for you, I can hear the fireworks from the park down the street.
We enjoyed our patriotic festivities earlier in the day, so are just relaxing inside this evening!

Wherever you are, wherever you live, I hope that you are enjoying freedom!

As I was preparing for this holiday I started thinking about how grateful I am for my country
and how America IS beautiful!  From “sea to shining sea” you will find mountains, valleys, canyons,
rivers, lakes, waterfalls… gorgeous sunsets, rainbows, and stunning sunrises!
I literally could not sleep until I agreed (with myself) to design this kit!

Although I had America in mind when I designed “Discovering America,” I made it versatile enough for other countries
as well.  All five members of my Creative Team live in countries other than the USA! 
Take a look at their gorgeous work posted below the kit previews!

You may currently find the products shown here at:
Digital Design Den
Digi Scraps Drive In

(Check out the Bundle and Biggie Bundle for the BEST VALUE!)

Scroll past the previews to pick up a Freebie Quick Page for you designed by FMC Designs!
