ValerieT Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 :new_year: :new_year: Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to the first monthly forum game of 2017. You quite often hear some people say they have a "formula" for creating a great layout. However I don't think they meant the kind of formulas we have for you this month. Don't worry you won't need a calulator, work out algebra or know Pythagoras Theorem! I've got you worried now, haven't I? Every day, Monday to Saturday, we will give you a step that will lead to a finished layout. The first four layouts will have six steps each. The last layout will have just one step. Members who complete the steps and post all 5 layouts in the Slow Scrap Gallery will be entered in a drawing for one of two $10.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates. Each completed layout posted in the Slow Scrap Gallery, up to 5 per member, will be entered in a drawing for one of three $3.00 Scrap Girls Boutique Gift Certificates. You have until 11:59pm ET on January 31st 2017 to complete the steps and post your layouts to the Slow Scrap Gallery. There are no daily time limits. You can make changes to your layout as the week progresses. After each step you can post your progress in this thread if you wish. PLEASE NOTE; THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. Here is how; Make sure you save your layout as a PSD/layered file first. Save your layout as a .JPEG at 72ppi with a size of 4 x 4 inches (288 x 288 pixels) this is smaller than you would normally save for the web. Follow the first part of this tutorial by Carla How To Post Images In The Forum to post your "progress" in the game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princessrunningfingers Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Today's going to be a busy day, so I thought I'd better get this done early. I used three faux finish brushes that were included in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ah... the brushes saved me, LOL. I wasn't sure what to do with my second paper but I was able to clip it to a brush. So far, so good though I'm not sure about the placement of the snowflake brush. We'll see as the week goes on.
