WELCOME BACK ART JOURNALERS!

Making the gridbox

numbers for layer style

 

On Feb 1st I thought I subscribed to this thread, but apparently it was the Art Journal forum. So I haven't been getting updates , other than the challenge for the shadow box. So last night I started creating my box (it would have helped if I knew boxes were going to be included in SOSN - which I did purchase this a.m.). But anyway, I created a box last night & it doesn't look too shabby if I have to say so myself. I'm in the process of filling my little cubicles, so when that is done, I will share. Unfortunately I don't know if I have my settings saved (but Dalis's inner shadow worked really well once I had the structure done). I used a background paper from Etc. by Danyale that looked like wood. It was a freebie, from her At a Glance kit. I started out by creating wooden slats, cutting sections of the paper 1/2" by 11 1/2" (I scrap in 8.5 x 11). I moved them around to create the partitions & outside edge, put an embossed style on each one to make it more rounded. Added the same background paper behind it and then used Dalis' suggestions for the inner shadow. Saved it all as a .png file & then brought it in to my new page which isn't quite done yet. Whew!

 

Okay.

..how'd you do it!

 

@redplaid3 here is how

 

I love Paula

 

I probably won't have time to work on making my own from scratch this month, so of course, I had to snap up Paula's lovely wooden boxes today too, what a deal!

So, happy you grabbed Paula's boxes from SOSN! We will be working on a different box EVERY week of the month! FUN!!!!!![/QUOTE]

Oh we will, will we? I shall let my playing wait then

 

sad, not many real looking things in store, that i wanted in my box

 

Hi all, here is mine. Since it is an art journal page, I've titled it "Who am I?" I've included a thimble (I've got over 2500), I my dog, and I'm a big tea drinker. Showing casual, work & dress-up. But dress-up doesn't happen... Credits are in the gallery.

 

@Dalis this type of things, i am looking into a box

 

after i take a bath, and unzip the box again i saved over the template first save

 

Cath, you did this? Wow it's looking good. Dalis has some good idea for thee shadows and you found some good stuff. I really like it. Playing with shadows and angles will work wonders with this.
