Some Digital Fun with new content...

I just got some new digital content for my StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 software and I couldn't resist taking a bit of time to try a few things out.  I enjoy trying different overlays and effects and combining the various elements in new ways.  I will use some of the things I created for cards by resizing and printing them.  (These are all low resolution screen shots just to show you what I did and to give you an idea of some of the possibilities available to you with digital designs).

For the first page I did I used a beautiful red paper for the background.

Then I added an overlay with lots of snowflakes.

A few bird "stickers" were added next.

Finally I added some word art that seemed appropriate.  I grouped all of the items and resized the page to 3 inches square and added a postage stamp frame for the image at the top of this post.

 

Then I made a piece of custom background paper base on a the snowflake I designed with the Reminisce Accents cartridge. 

This was my original design and I used the magic wand to trace around it and cut the image into two pieces.

This line drawing effect was left when I hid the traced area that I had cut around digitally.  I will probably use this to create my own overlay.

I added a gradient of color to the background.

Then I chose a snowflake "sticker" and adjusted it to neatly fill the center area.

I filled the snowflake with white - when you flood fill you lose all detail.  In this case that was my goal because I wanted the entire snowflake image to be white.

I added a snowy overlay and I can now use this "paper" for  a digital background.

 The next thing I made was a snowman medallion.

 

I started with the scalloped circle tag from the Winter Delight Embellishments.

I added a circle, centered it in the scalloped design and filled it with red paper.

Then I added a snowman and the "Let it Snow" phrase which I filled in white.

I also tried the design with just a bigger snowman in the center.

I added some coordinating background paper to complete the image.

 

Here is one more of my "doodles."  I used two different overlays, some word art and a metallic snowflake for this one.

 

In this closer view you can see the dimension on the "metal" snowflake.  I added the little water drop to the starry tail of the "W" in "Winter" for a tiny bit more sparkle.

If you have any questions about the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 software, please leave a comment or email me.  There is a new program available (at last!) for Mac computers called sbcStudio.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I am sure it will be great.  The StoryBook program is one of my favorite crafting tools!

I'll be back to more Cricut projects tomorrow - I have some new files to test cut (and they aren't snowflakes this time!).  I hope you have a great weekend.  We will be doing more projects around the house to get ready for the holidays.
