Guest watmuzzer Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Could someone please explain to me how and why I would go about using ScrapSimple Photo Templates. I must be dense or something, but I just don't get the point of photo templates. I've read the stuff in the SG University and I see that you can layer them with other papers and templates. I just don't see the advantage to using them. TIA Cyndie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinny Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 All of the ScrapSimple products are geared towards those interested in making their own digital supplies, i.e. background papers, embellishments, alphas... The Photo templates are another way to add texture to those papers that you could create. For example, here is a ScrapSimple Photo Template: [attachment=1921:attachment] Then I created this Paper from that Photo template using PhotoShop: [attachment=1923:attachment] Then to further add more interest you can use the ScrapSimple Paper Templates along with the Photo Templates for something like this: [attachment=1922:attachment] Just one more way to be creative!

Guest watmuzzer Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I think I'm getting the idea. Love your stuff by the way, especially the Irish frog. That really tickled me. Cyndie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackiep1102 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I loved the frog too! So cute and funny! Thanks for the examples. I love the idea of using my photo templates and even making my own but I can never seem to make anything I like with them. Your examples will help me a lot! Thanks!
