Love Story

I wanted to scrap this old photo of my FIL and late MIL having a bike ride in Tandragee, Ireland during their courting years


I cleaned it up and added some colour to their clothing so everything would co-ordinate 


Then I made my page.....this is my second go at scrapbooking and I really enjoy it!



We just decorated one of the spare bedrooms which is in Blues & Cream so I made this to hang on the wall :)



I am quite pleased with how this turned out

Grungy Sentiments



These Grungy Sentiment Sets are the latest release from Pink Gem Designs
They come as 8 separate png file in each set
Just copy and paste them into a Microsoft Office Publisher Document or any graphics programme, resize save to jpg and print :)
Because the backgrounds are totally see through you can place them over your favorite paper or fill a square with colour and place the png in front to have your sentiment in the colour/pattern of your choice :)
You can find them here

WORKING WITH WHITE PNG FILES

 Sometimes people email me after they have bought the white png files to say there is nothing showing on screen when they open the files or they are printing blank.
This is because the words are white the same colour as your background and also the background is totally see through......
.......so you have to put a background behind the png file in order to be able to print the white words

Here is something I did earlier in Microsoft Office Publisher but you can use any graphic software that you are familiar with

You could copy  and paste some patterned digital paper into the document or make a coloured square like me.
Use the Rectangle tool to draw the square and click the paint bucket symbol above
You can resize by dragging the corner handles


Next copy your png file and paste it into the document and move it in front of the square


Again you can drag the corner handles and make it the size you want.
Now you are ready to print so you need to save the image as a jpg to you desktop like this



Of course you can add more designs to your sheet and print a lot of sentiments at once especially if you make them smaller :)
So there you go it's easy peasy to print white sentiments....and it's just the same principal to add a watermark  to your photographs too!
