Creating Your First Layout in FotoFusion

Good morning, fellow scrapbookers!

For those who have just purchased FotoFusion, I slaved until the wee hours of the morning to finish a tutorial for you. Well, only until 12:30. It's not THAT late. :) You'll find the tutorial here.

Little Miss Hannah

My adorable fancy nancy niece. I created this layout for the Random Blog Challenge at Cat Scrap. Love it! The challenge required you to find a inspiring decor picture from one of the four posted blogs and then create a layout. This one from Decor8 is the one that I used: (upper left picture).

Another scraplift! Click here to see which layout I copied. :) The words just flowed tonight. I'm glad I stayed up longer! I've never written these thoughts down before! I'm so proud of myself! Are the letters the wrong color? Please tell me if you think so. I like constructive criticism. (sp?) Gosh! How do you spell that word anyway?!?!? It must be too late. 

I went in later (Sept '10) and blurred the text to respect my husband's right to privacy. Sorry. :)

Top 100 Memories

I felt like digi scrapping, but I had no ideas, so I started going through my inspiring layouts file, and I came across one that inspired me. Click here to see the layout that I copied.  Thanks for the inspiration, Aly!

The photo strips were easily made using my FotoFusion's nifty splitting tool. You create one image frame, and then you split it into however many parts you want to. Love that feature! The "memories" title was made using the font features. All you do is change the color and width of the outline of the font. Love that too!

He absolutely does create feelings in other that they themselves don't understand! The "The Cars" quote is absolutely fitting for my precious son. I'm usually not into Disney movies that much, but this one cuts the cake!
