Cheesecake


The font is Broadway with a drop shadow (opacity=65%, x=1 y=1).

The two large pictures have rounded corners (30) and a size 2 white mat. Behind each large picture is a rectangular shape (r=112, g=198, b=203) with rounded corners (46) with a drop shadow (opacity=65%, blur=5, x=2 y=2). The small picture has a size 1 white mat. All three have a drop shadow (opacity=65%, blur=7, x=2 y=2).

The blue journaling papers are rectangular shapes (r=112, g=198, b=203) with a Scratch-White overlay. They have a drop shadow (opacity=65%, blur=7, x=3 y=4).

The elements come from Shabby Princesses' free kit Splendid. I used Peach and Purple Heart Jellies with a slightly smaller white circle shape behind each to make them seem opaque instead of translucent. The background paper is Peach Circles, over that is the paper Stripes (opacity=80%).

Joseph Andrew Birth Announcement



The font is TXT Romanesque (red=53, green=26, blue=6). Shadow opacity is 40% with "We've got a new lil buckaroo!" @ x=1 y=1 and all other text @ x=0 y=0.

The background is Backgrounds/Texture/Nature/Wood. I turned on the 4x6 guides, but liked the top part of the picture best, so made my own guide to block off the bottom of the picture and then completed the design.

The picture is rotated 21 and has a shadow (Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=2 y=2).

The journaling blocks are from Shabby Princess' free kit Harvest Spice. The long thin blocks are all one element called "Journaling Strips"(Shadow: Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=3 y=4). The larger block at the bottom was an element called "FloralFrame_Vintage", but it was brought in as a photo and then cropped to it's current size (Shadow: Opacity=65%, Blur=7, x=2 y=2).

2010 08 Dad and Kristy at Henry's Fork Banner


I had to find a creative way to lengthen this picture to fit the banner space, so here's how I did it. I added a rectangular shape on the right side and matched it to the shadow in top right-hand corner of the photo (red=1, green=1, blue=14). Then, from Embellishments/Background Builders (included with MemoryMixer3), I added "Dots White", then shrunk that down to cover the entire shape and go over a little bit onto the photo (Opacity: 31). Next is "Flourish" from Embellishments/Flourish/White (Rotate: 44, Opacity: 31). The leaves are from Shabby Princess' Free Kit Spontaneous Delight by Carrie Stephens. I've used the Layered Leaf Border (mirrored, Opacity: 90) along the right border, and then leaf accent is used three times to fill in (once mirrored, each element gets progressively lighter, Opacity: 85, 80, and 75). The HFBG font is Georgia, White. The Best Advice font is Trebuchet MS, White.

2010 07 Rocket Car Banner


The font for "Have Fun, Be Good" is Georgia. The other font is Trebuchet MS. The overlay is from Shabby Princess' free Celebrating kit, CelebrateWordsOverlay, although it was edited in Photoshop to erase the edges of the overlay where the designs are cut in half, and the opacity is reduced to 24. I have to say, I really like the subtle effect it gives.
