Digi: In Deep - Templates #2

We had to design another Template for our Course this week. I really do love creating the Templates. I find them easier than LO because you don't have to think about Colours, Papers, Titles or Journalling. I'm going to be signing up for another course next week called Type+Writer, so hopefully I'll feel differntly about Titles and Journalling pretty soon.

We had to use a special Shadow effect on out Template which makes the corners look like they are curling up.

Here's the LO I created with my Template. I know it's pretty plain but then again I like Pretty Plain.

Digi: In Deep - Templates

For our course we had to design and create a Template. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this and I learnt so much. While mine is slightly boring and simplistic, I Love it!

Here's the Page I created using my very own Template! How great is that to be able to create from your own creation. I think the ultimate satisfaction will be creating a LO from ALL your own items, Template, Papers and embellishments.

Digi: In Deep - Assignment 2A

Well it's another week in our Digi Course but at the same time it's another week closer to the end. I'm learning so much on this course. This week we made our own brush and backing paper, how cool is that? It's the paper used for the Star. Isn't it fab?

Digi: In Deep - Assignment 1B

I sooo enjoyed doing this. It seems like it took ages to do, but in reality once I had stopped playing with everything and decided what I wanted to do, it all just fell into place. I'm really proud of this one as it's the first LO I've done on my own from scratch, no instructions, no templates, just me and some inspiration from Jessica and Misty.

The fabulous papers are from Misty Cato's Starlight Whimsey kit, the "Ethan" text is One Fell Swoop from DaFont.com. I used layer masks for the ribbon and beads, a semi-transparent journalling box, the stars at the top of the page and the star flourishes are overlayed. I recoloured the Star buttons and the Star on the Beads. "Ethan" is text that I masked with paper.

Digi: In Deep - Lesson 1

I signed up for another Digi Course over at JessicaSparague.com. Here's my LO for Lesson 1. I so enjoyed doing this. I can't believe you can learn so much in just one lesson.

All the frames, mats and masks were created from scratch. We even "wrapped" the string around the Ring shape ourselves, and we changed the colour of the buttons. For anyone thinking of doing any of these courses, I highly recommend them. I can't believe that nearly 2 month's ago I knew hardly anything about CS3, now I'm creating!
