Another Free Scrapping Kit

This kit contains papers and elements that I created as a class project for Advanced Realism in PSP taught by Sandy Drieschner at Scrapbook Bytes. I took both the beginner and the advanced classes that Sandy taught. Even though I am an experienced user of PSP, I learned a lot.

I was originally thinking of dividing the items up into mini kits, mostly to make it easier for me to upload on my pokey dialup connection. But I couldn't decide how to split it up. So here are most of the things I did for the class.



One paper I really liked is not included because I used Tracey Rennemo's brushes on the paper. I added paint splashes in the colors of the kit to the yellow paper. You can see the results on this page I scrapped using some items from the kit.



Some of you might have seen an earlier landscape version I posted. But the album I print out is in portrait view. I didn't like having to turn the page, so I redid it. This time I tried to make it look like the inked letters stamped across the photo and the background papers would separate like it would if you did it on a paper page. I am not sure if I succeeded. What do you think? It does look more realistic on the printed version than it does on this little digital version.

I have noticed that Scrapbook Bytes is offering some back issues from their ezine, Tid-Bytes, for free download. The links to the freebies are not active any longer, but you could get an idea of what is offered in this monthly publication. I think it is one of the best. Tracey Rennemo (Haley64) is now doing tutorials for PSP in each issue. The brushes I mentioned above were available in the March, 2006 issue with a tutorial on making custom grunge brushes and overlays. The Scrapbook Bytes web site seems to be running better, too.
