I'm so excited to share with you this layout and trick I figured out on my Gypsy! I had so many pictures of the snow storm of 2008, that I had to do two, 2-page layouts! The first layout was posted yesterday and features some people, but lots of scenery. Today the photos are of snow fun! :)
"Snow Angels"
This was created on a turquiose paper that totally looks a differeent shade in the photo! I matted all my photos on brick red and white to complement the snowmen felt stickers I had.
I cut the title "Snow Angels" out of Winter Frolic BUT it only said "Snow Angel" and I have 2 kids! I noticed that the angel font looked a lot like Gypsy, and guess what, it was! I put the words "snow angel", the shadow, the gypsy font "s" and the shadow to the "s" all on the same layer. I adjusted the snow angel and its shadow together to keep them in ratio. Then I magnified my Gypsy screen and carefully slid the s (and its shadow) over to the word angel. I enlarged the s until it appeared the same size (and as I was doing this, the shadow was growing too!). I then grouped and welded the words "Snow Angel" and the "s" together. I then moved the shadows to another layer on my Gypsy and once again carefully lined up the shadow of the "s" to the shadow of the words. I left the layers so you could see through and line them up to match and I was able to group and weld these as well. I think it looks great! :)
I then added a package of Basic Grey felt stickers called Jovial--Woolies. They are super cute fuzzy snowmen, presents, stars and birds! It really made a cute and quick page!
Gorgeous and what a great tip!!!
