November Scraplift Challenge

fantastic gallery...I chose this page, it's so eye catching and his smile just lights up his face



and my page

 

I chose this one, as I love how she changed up the template - I didn't even realize it was one I had until I checked the credits


Here is my take:

And this is what I made:

I adore Jenn's style! I plan on lifting this one:

 

I fell in love with this one and will use it as the basis for my scraplift:


And here's my scraplift:

 

my spot I choose this layout

 

Here is the great page I will be lifting:

Such a fun gallery - I'll definitely be back for inspiration. I chose this one:


And here is my page. I was inspired by the layers of vellum and how in sync the color tones were.

i am thinking of lifting this one but i dont know how to do the title like this as part of the photo. is there a tutorial somwhere or what should i google to find a how to video or instructions. i tried googling but i dont think i was using the right words to describe the title as part of the photo ? thanks for any help

 

Hmmm, this was part of an MOC post/challenge last year, I believe. I don't see that available in the forums right now. I think for my layout, I made my title, and rasterized it. I then placed it over my blank photo spot, and merged those two layers. Then I placed my photo on top, and clipped it to the combined photo spot/word layer. Does that make any sense? I can show you my layers later tonight. (I haven't been by my home computer yet from Friday!)

 

@bjc I found detailed directions from @jenn mccabe that was a part of her original MOC post... I just copied the relevant section...

Now take a look at my image below. Be mindful that the full photo is the size of the entire image. There are two visible "sections" to this photo title idea.

• Section 1: A photo in any shape you wish. It's a rectangle in this example, but it can be a circle, square, diamond, heart, etc.
• Section 2: The photo title which must extend from the original shape.

There are so many ways to achieve this look on your page. So do what comes naturally to you. The key is to make sure your shape and your text/title are smaller than the full size of your photo! If you are looking for a little help with step by step instructions, my suggestion is below. This method allowed me to play around with the placement of the title/text and the photo to get the best fit.

• Add your photo to your page. Duplicate your photo so you have two copies. Your duplicate layer will be above your original layer.
• Create a solid/filled-in shape on it's own layer underneath the original photo layer. A rectangle shape is used in the example (Section 1 above), but feel free to use any shape you wish or even a mask. Make sure your shape is smaller than the full size of the photo. About half the size is a good rule of thumb.
• "Clip" the original photo to the shape. To do this click, on the original photo layer. Go to Layer up in the menu bar > choose Create Clipping Mask. This will "clip" or mask the photo to the shape layer.
• Type your text for your title in your preferred font on it's own layer directly under your duplicate photo layer. Move that text to align (and touch!) one of the edges of your shape. Feel free to use fonts, alphas (they should all be on one layer to making clipping to the photo easier), large word art, or a cut-out text file for your title if you wish! Remember, the title also needs to be smaller than the full size of the photo.
• "Clip" the duplicate photo to the text. To do this, click on the duplicate photo layer. Go to Layer up in the menu bar > choose Create Clipping Mask. This will "clip" or mask the photo to the text/title layer (Section 2 above).
• TIP: If you try to shadow the shape layer and the text layer separately you will probably have some weird results. So, if you'd like, you can merge all the layers and then add your shadow after you merge.

Here are some visuals! Layer order should look like this:



To "clip" a photo layer to the shape layer or text layer underneath it, make sure you click on the photo layer, then go up to Layer in the menu bar and choose Create Clipping Mask. Like this:



Here's what the layers look like after you "clip" them.


Here you can see how my title aligns (is touching!) one edge of my rectangle shape. I used a Cut Out file from Scrapping with Liz's New Beginnings Cut Outs instead of typing my text. You can use whatever you want for your title as long as it connected to one of the edges of the photo shape. Here is the Cut File section of the store in case you want to search for some text for your title!


These instructions are for PSE/PS but these are basic scrapping techniques that I believe most programs can handle. Should you need additional help for your program - let us know what step you are stuck on and which program you are using. We will find someone to assist you!

Here is my page for this challenge.

 

thank you for the instructions. i will use on another layout cause i wanted to scrap now so i ended up with a different scraplift but will definately be using those directions. thank you so much . here is the layout i ended up making



I just re did the above layout so i could coordinate with the layout i did for the inspiration challenge. here is the redo



and here is the one i scraplifted

 

thank you for the challenge

Great Challenge..... I will be lifting this one!!! Have my LO almost complete. I loved the layers of paper and one photo as the focal point.



Here’s my LO. I used LBWs features product to complete.
