Are you tired of your old fonts that came with your computer?

If so how about getting a few new Winter fonts and using them in new ways too?

Take a look at some ideas and resources below.

The first way to use a font is just to type with it!

After you have picked your new font and downloaded it, just add the font to your computer font collection. Then start scrapping with it!

An Example of just using a font to type with for scrapbooking or photo editing projects was in an article: Use Winter Fonts to Spruce up your Digital Scrapbooking Project! Plus learn where you can get 3 FREE fonts!

Have you been wondering how to install Fonts? Check this article it will tell you how to install new fonts on your computer: How to: Basic Info on Installing Fonts for Digital Scrapbooking on a PC or MAC

After you type with with the font then you might want to spice up your project by adding a Drop Shadow to the text make it come alive like in the example below:

Or add a Bevel to change the look and make it pop on the digital scrapbooking page!

These are simple ways to make your new fonts look great!

Now how about another idea for fonts?!

Next Idea: Add Multi-Colors to Text!!!

Fill Font with Multiple Color in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements

To add Multi-Colors to Text, this works mainly when a font has some extra space inside the letters or in any parts of the designs around the letters that include empty space.

Like this FREE Font 1: Snowfall font from Fontspace.com see below:

Special Note: There are many great fonts available online for free. Before you download a font, make sure you trust the source. Also, make sure to have an anti-virus software on your computer and run a scan often, as sometime virus come in font folders.

This is how it looks when we just type it into our digital scrapbooking project

Not really that exciting, but we can simplify it in Photoshop or Elements and start adding different colors into the spaces! That really makes it special!

The reason it works so well is the space inside the font we can use to color multiple colors!

That space can quickly be used with multiple colors to enhance the design of the text!

Then after you have added the colors you might want to add a drop shadow and/or bevel to dress up and finish off the project!

Once you have installed your font and typed some text on your digital scrapbooking page then you can also colorize it, and add a drop shadow and bevel to your font. This makes the text look like WordArt!!!

…….Neat Digital Scrapbooking Trick!

Read this article for more information on colorizing text and using this technique: How to Fill in a Font with Color in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements

Next Idea: Another fun thing to do with a font is to get one that looks like images, and can be used like a shape or embellishment! See the example below:

Free Font 2: Winter Days from Dafont.com see example below:

Special Note: There are many great fonts available online for free. Before you download a font, make sure you trust the source. Also, make sure to have an anti-virus software on your computer and run a scan often, as sometime virus come in font folders.

A font like this can be used to type icons that can be used as embellishments or shapes on digital scrapbooking pages or photo projects. See how this font was scrapped into the Digital Scrapbooking page below:

It is great to include these types of fonts into your digital scrapbooking projects as it adds some extra fun images that you can use to decorate your photos or digital scrap pages.

Also if you know what to do you can use this last type of image font to create custom brushes too!

See this training to get more information on this!!

Creating Custom Brushes using Symbol Fonts in Photoshop Elements is an advanced digital scrapbooking tutorial, perfect for anyone interested in learning about new and challenging digital scrapbooking techniques!

These tutorials cover the basics of the making a Custom Brush using a Symbol Font, and saving Custom Brush Sets for Digital Scrapbooking. After learning these important concepts one can easily advance to other more complex brush techniques in digital scrapbooking.

Custom Brushes can be used as digital embellishments; and learning how to use them can create additional detail and personalization to your digital scrapbooking pages or projects. A Scrapbookers favorite is using custom brushes like a rubber stamp, although digital custom brushes can be a lot more intricate and creative! Custom Brushes are used for more than just decorating your digital scrapbooking pages with “stamped” embellishments, as they can provide the perfect tool for creating personalized coloring books, party invitations, and MORE!

This tutorial specifically focuses on how to easily create your OWN Custom Brushes using FREE symbol fonts found on your computer and showing up within Photoshop Elements, and then how to save them as a Custom Brush Set, permanently or temporarily into your program.

Today Make a resolution or Goal to Scrap a Digital Scrapbooking Page each month!

It is a good time to set a goal that you can keep!

Yes, this goal is easy and fun to set and keep! That is to Scrap at least one digital scrapbooking page per month!

If I do that at the end of the year I will have enough digital scrapbooking pages to make digital calendar or a scrap album!

It was easy to accomplish my goal because at Digital Scrapbooks and More they sale lots of great supplies, but I think I will take a shortcut and use Quick Pages! Now you can create pretty digital scrapbooking projects very FAST with Quick Page Kits!

Use Quick Page Kits to make calendars, traditional size albums or any scrap project that might need a variety of months or holidays! Spend your holiday having fun, making memories, because with Quick Pages you only have to spend seconds on digitally scrapping the fun! All you have to do is add your photos, some text and you’re basically finished! Yes it really is that easy to make and keep your scrapbooking goals when using Quick Pages! Use the month-inspired Quick Pages to create beautiful scrap projects instantly.

Use the Quick Pages to slip photos underneath for a completed digital scrapbooking page! If you like you can add some text and some of your digital scrapbooking embellishments to make even more personal it is easy to do that too! Using Quick Page Kits means that it will be extra easy for me to keep my goal each month!

With a Quick Page I just add my photos, then at the end of the year I turned them into calendars, albums, cards and more! Yes, it was that easy!!!

My goal or resolution started a few years back because prior to making this commitment I ran into this problem: being to busy in December to make all my scrapbooking pages and scrap gifts.

Not being ready at the end of the year also made me miss out on great discounts at my favorite online printing companies!

So, I ended up having to spend lots more money because I needed more time to scrap my pages, and missed the discount! Sadly sometimes I even missed the Holiday I was trying to scrap for because I couldn’t get ready at the last moment!!!

As a digital scrapbookers, I like to make interesting scrapbooking gifts as holiday presents for all of my friends and family (like personalized calendars, puzzles, mouse pads, coffee mugs, aprons, greeting cards, framed scrap pages, or photo/digital scrapbooking albums). It’s around that time that I receive emailed-coupons from many online printing companies offering huge discounts on the exact items I had been hoping to create and buy for others!

However, most of the time I end up missing these incredible online printing discounts for two unfortunate reasons:

First, these personalized gifts require a finished digital scrapbooking page in order to personalize the calendar, mug, or gift that is being so heavily discounted; and many times I just don’t have any new digital scrapbooking pages ready!

These special holiday discounts usually expire quickly maybe even that very same day, or just a few days later; which sometimes is not nearly enough time to pull all the pictures together and digitally scrap!

The second reason is that when the deals show-up in my email inbox, it is usually the busiest time of year (with the holidays, family, friends, dinner parties, work parties, cooking this, eating that, and always being on-the-go!), and I am not always on my computer checking my email with everything I have going on! Sometimes I feel so rushed to participate in a spectacular online printing deal, and it’s so frustrating to be overwhelmed at such an already busy (and sometimes stressful) time of year!

The bottom line is that if I had some pre-made digital scrapbooking pages that were already ready-to-go, then when those wonderful sales showed up in my inbox, I could take full-advantage of them without feeling rushed, or without skipping the opportunity all-together!

In prior years I missed the sales and discounts, but this year because I had get my goal of scrapping at least one scrap page a month I was able to take advantage of all the great deals! Plus I wasn’t exhausted because I had planned ahead!!

So, that said, I am going to keep this same goal this year too! So my goal for this up-and-coming year: I WILL SCRAP ONE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING PAGE PER MONTH (and more than one page if I have time… but I can at least scrap one page!)

It doesn’t take much time to scrap one page. I usually take new digital photos every month, so it’s not like I don’t have new pictures that need to be scrapped! Not to mention, at the end of the month, last month’s digital scrapbooking supplies are often discounted; so I could buy them at a discounted rate and then scrap them each month.

Another good reason to do one each month is so that I don’t have to wait until the busiest time of the year (the end of the year) to scrap all of my digital photos from a busy and eventful year! Scrapping one page per month will give me time to relax and enjoy the holidays, instead of procrastinating and waiting until the last month to scrap all of that year’s activities.

And last, but not least, by scrapping one page per month I can always take advantage of the fabulous discounts on gifts made from my scrapbooking pages at the end of the year, now that I will be prepared with plenty of great digitally scrapped projects!

The great thing about digital scrapbooking is that I can take one digital scrapped page and make lots of fun gifts! Wow, that saves time! Maybe you have noticed all the items I have made in this article that have come from the same digital scrapbooking page?! If not then take a second look!

What do I mean? Well when I am digital scrapbooking I have set the preferences for floating windows. Which should look like this when I am digital scrapbooking.

As a digital scrapbooker this makes sense for me to have my workspace set up like this so I can have a better digital scrapbooking workflow. I have my scrap project on one side and my photos, embellishments, and WordArt on the other side so I can drag them to my digital scrap page

But one day I opened Photoshop Elements 9 and the floating windows were not working correctly, instead of floating so I can arrange them how I like, all the windows were tabbing together.

Each time I opened a new photo, digital embellishment or another digital scrapbooking supply in Photoshop Elements 9, everything combines into one window. Below are the same windows now all tabbed together, almost impossible for a digital scrapbooker to scrap!!

At first I thought something was just wrong with my Photoshop Elements 9, but later I discovered that after Photoshop Elements auto updated to 9.0.3 the new default setting was for my document windows was to open as a tabbed window instead of floating! No matter what I did I couldn’t get back my beloved floating windows whenever I opened a new item into the workspace!

Why?! Didn’t Adobe love digital scrapbookers anymore? Perhaps no-one there does digital scrapbooking? Are they all photo editors at Adobe? Is this why they changed the settings without telling me!!

So, I went online and found many other digital scrapbookers complaining about this too! I wasn’t alone but no-one at Adobe was changing their mind about this.

So if this has happened to your recently, no you are not crazy! Adobe changed the settings, it is not you – it is them!

While the photos can be separated again by window>image>float all in windows to minimize and clean up the workspace, this takes extra steps to undock those tabs now.

This is adding extra steps now, to get my windows apart from each other so I can start digital scrapbooking.

It never fails that just after I get everything separated and arranged to digital scrap that I remember I wanted one more embellishment and when I try to bring it into the workspace – it all snaps into each other and I have to pull out the images and arrange the workspace again!

Very frustrating! I know some people that have left Elements 9 for other software programs, or some that have switched back to Elements 7 that doesn’t have this problem. (Elements 8 has a variation of this problem too so you might have to go to Elements 7 to escape the tabbing windows!)

I can’t believe any digital scrapbooker being happy with this new feature!

So what does Adobe say about this problem?

Official Response from Photoshop Elements that I found:

• While the 9.0.3 update is largely about dealing with some existing issues when using Wacom tablets with Photoshop Elements, a number of other small changes were introduced. Based on the feedback of some customers, the default behavior of opening new documents was changed so that they always open as tabbed, even when floating windows are enabled. We are not above reverting to the original behavior. Let us know your preferences on the subject.

It sounds like they want their customers to let them know what they think of this .. so if you can email Adobe and ask them to fix this problem do it! Maybe they will listen to us scrapbookers if we unite and let them know we don’t like this feature.

But, in the meantime what can we do to work around it.. if we can’t completely fix it?

So this is what I did, I finally re-installed Photoshop Elements 9 on one of my computers to get rid of the 9.0.3 update. It was a relief to find that my documents are now opening in floating windows again, and not tabs! Yay! However, now I have to spend time to reinstall all my brushes, effects and styles or any other personalization’s I have already done to my program. Plus make a copy of your organizer files too! I am worried about one day, my computer will update automatically and the pesky update will be back and I will have to re-install and set up all over again!

So after I did this I was too tired to do fix it on my laptop computer too! So I tried experimenting ways of dealing with the tabs. (I will add that this is not a great solution but I can use it till I have time to re-install)

Here is what I am doing on my computer that I didn’t re-install Elements yet. (Before I start I set the preferences to floating windows, then go to the icon below and select Float All in Windows) I do this first before I get started in my scrapbooking project.

Now, I bring 2 digital scrapbooking items into my workspace, and then pull each of them out into floating windows.

Then I click on the embellishment or photo to activate it. Then when I open a new embellishment it tabs into the stack of embellishments. And I can leave my digital scrapbooking project un-tabbed.

This works until I forget to keep clicking on the embellishment tabbed stack before I open anything new. Because the new item now tabs into my digital scrapbooking project, resizing it too! I know it is pain, but I don’t have time to uninstall and reinstall Elements 9 yet.

Now, I can drag the new items from the stack tabbed to my digital scrapbooking project or I can drag it from the project bin to my scrap project. You can double click on the item in the Project Bin to make it come to the top of the stack, so you can drag it over to the scrap project if you want to use the drag and drop method.

I admit this isn’t the best solution, but it does work around the problem.. sort of.

So far these are really the only solutions I have found to work-around Adobe’s update. If you have any others I would love to hear from you!

Now it takes at least 3 times more time to finish a digital scrapbooking project with this update problem. I hope the next update fixes this problem.

Until Adobe fixes Elements 9, don’t get too frustrated!

Happy Scrapping!

Ps. Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 is out now, and it seems like this problem is fixed if you set floating windows in preferences! Yay!!!

I am determined to capture the memory of my sons’ senior year and make it a year that our family will remember forever. So I am scrapping a few images each month of his Senior year, and when he graduates I will have all the scrap pages printed and bound into a lovely album. Maybe you would like to join me as I make a scrapbook page for every month of his Senior year, and scrap your senior or other special someone. See my last article: Do You Have a High School Senior?

Football and Digital Scrapbooking

Who can think about September without thinking about football? In our home football is something we eat drink and sleep. Not the NFL teams so much, but our hometown football team.

Our son is a Senior this year. He is a starter on our High School Football team that my husband happens to coach.

So this year I think it is a great idea to add a football page to his Senior scrapbook that I am making to surprise him at the end of the year. This will be the September section in the scrapbooking album.

I will add a few digital scrapbooking pages in this section of the album.

I think it would be fun to add some old photos that I scanned of him when he was a little boy dressing up and playing football and include his current photo too! See the info on the mobile scanner towards the bottom of this article!

He has always loved the sport! And I think he will enjoy seeing old photos in his special album along the new ones too!

As I scrap my September pages I am going to focus on his Senior football picture. I am so excited for this page. I may even add a picture of him in his letterman’s jacket.

I know that September is going to be one of my favorite months to scrap for him. With back to school Senior pictures and football photos as the first two or three pages in the album I can’t go wrong!

I think I will do some extra fun digital scrapping and use some sports brushes (Sports Custom Brush Set) in Elements to make my digital pages! See what my scrap page looks like after I have scrapped with some custom brushes. The Go Team is a custom brush too!

It also makes me so excited for what is to come in my digital scrapbooking adventure of scrapping a couple of pages for my son’s album.

Next month I am looking forward to the homecoming dance and Halloween activities.

Each month is going to go by so fast, however I refuse to let them just slip away as I am saving these precious memories by digital scrapbooking them.

So bring on the Senior activities and GO RAMS! (or whatever you favorite team may be).

Have a great Senior year, moms of a Senior.
Denise

At Digital Scrapbooks and More, we believe that it’s critical to have a good understanding of exactly what you are doing and why when it comes to digital scrapbooking. In our training we review several essential, basic concepts within Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 or 10, but then, go-ahead and dive right in and actually start learning how to digitally scrap pages! We believe that people learn digital scrapbooking best by following along and actually creating digital scrapbooking pages as they learn about the tools in Elements and the digital scrapbooking techniques! All of our digital scrapbooking training is detailed, thorough, and organized; and we are determined to take any and all confusion out of digital scrapbooking!

This Getting Started Series in Digital Scrapbooking Downloadable Set using Photoshop Elements 9 or 10 includes ALL 6 Lessons and MORE! Each lesson contains 3- 4 tutorial videos; each with comprehensive, in-depth visual training on a particular lesson in PSE 9 and digital scrapbooking. We hope that you sit back, relax, and watch our training videos without worrying or feeling obligated to take notes; that’s why each video also comes with a downloadable and printable “Cheat Sheet” for easy, quick-reference, as well as a “Step-By-Step” training guides for a detailed re-cap (with descriptions and screen-shot images) of the main steps presented in each part of the lesson. All of our training guides are labeled for organizational purposes, so that you can easy find and refer back to them if you ever need a refresher in a particular lesson.

We have carefully labeled each one of our Cheat Sheets and Step-By-Step training guides with a corresponding Lesson and Part number so you can easily stay organized as your digital scrapbooking training progresses.
