Sweet Childhood Cluster Frame

This cluster frame was made from our Sweet Childhood collab kit. Some of the elements are from ScrapinCop. Hope you enjoy.

Blinkie Tutorial

Photobucket
Today I had mood to make my own blinkie. It was not as difficult as I imagined. In fact it was fun making it.
First follow this tutorial: http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/tutorials/ps_blinkie_as.shtml.
Since I use PSCS 3, I followed the tutorial only upto making the layers.
To make the animation you can follow these steps:
1. Click Window- Animation.
2. Make sure that you are on "Animation(Timeline)" menu. If you are on "Animation(Frame)" menu , you can change it by clicking on the "convert to timeline animation" at the bottom right corner.
3. Create the first frame by by clicking on "select first frame" then highlight(CTRL-click) which layers you want to appear first.
4. Click "Convert to frame animation". There you can see your frame. If you satisfy with that, select frame delay time.
5. Duplicate the frame. Convert to timeline animation again. Activate/inactivate the layer(s) you want to appear on the second frame.
6. Go back to step 4.
Repeat the steps until you are done.
7. Play the animation. You can change the frame delay time to make the movement faster or slower.
8. Save in GIF file. I followed the instructions from here http://digiscrapart.com/blog/2008/06/21/creating-a-blinkie-in-photoshop-cs/.
9. Upload your GIF file to web site for photo storage (eg. photobucket).
Now you can add your own blinkie to your blog.

CU Grungy Flowery Photo Masks II

>>>Download<<<
Commercial Use OK. Read my TOU for further informations.
As I promised before that I would make the other shapes and the tutorial for the photo masks.
Steps to make these masks :
1. Make a new file with 12x12 inches 300 dpi.
2. Choose the shapes you like from the custom shapes. I used black as the foreground color.
3. Load the watercolor brush, wild flowers and leaves brush sets. They are available at this site.
4. Stroke watercolor brush surround the edges to make grungy effects. You can use different shapes for that.
5. Choose different shapes of brushes from the wild flowers and leaves brush sets and stroke on the grungy edges (I created a new layer for each shape so that I can copy and move to other places).
6. Trim the image and save it in PNG file.

As for the previous photo masks, I used marquee tool for the shape and stroke watercolor brush to fill it. I left some space empty on one corner of the rectangular one.
You can make other photo masks with different shapes and different brush sets. Just keep experimenting. Your creativity is the limit. Happy scrapping!

Sweet Childhood collab kit

Again we are back with another collab kit for this month, we name it Sweet Childhood.
We release this kit as a gift to celebrate our festival Eidul Fitri this year.
The title brings me back to the memories when I was a kid. I used to play outdoors and enjoyed it a lot.
By the way, our friend Suci cannot participate this time. Hope that she can do it in future.
To cut the story short, here is the preview :
This is my part:

I forgot to mention Deliciousscraps for her overlay on my TOU, eventhough she did not ask for credits.
Download the kit from my friends' blogs to get the complete one.
Hope you enjoy. Happy scrapping.

CU Overlay4

>>>Download<<<

I used this overlay for one of My Secret Garden papers. They are Commercial Use friendly. I give you the PNG as well as PSD file.

The technique I used to make my paper on this overlay was:
1. Create a new file 12x12 300 dpi.
2. Paint the layer with the background color of your choice.
3. Drag the PNG file.
4. Drag the texture of your choice and change the blending mode.
5. Create a new layer and paint with gradient tool. Change the blending mode.

You are done with it. You can create more layers with different gradient tool and blending mode to get different color effect.

You can also play around with the PSD file by changing the color on each layer so that it looks like a painting like I did on another paper.
Hope you enjoy.
