Text in a Shape Challenge
Friday, September 28, 2007
Kris challenged us to put our text in shape form this week. I had a lot of fun trying something new to me. Thank Kris!
Journaling reads:
Things that make me Laugh - Looney Tunes, the movie What’s Up Doc, remembering good times with my brothers, episodes of The Office, when dogs lick my face (especially puppies), when my kids say funny things, whenever my Dad and his brother Dale get together, those old episodes of Little Rascals, when my kids do funny things, Peanuts (the comic strip and the specials), when I make up songs or poems, when my husband tickles my, well, armpits (it’s the only place I am ticklish), episodes of Futurama, Cary Grant movies, the comic strip Pearls Before Swine, spoofy movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when people make up new words, Rachael Ray, the Fruit of the Loom commercials, Hoops and Yoyo, and The Muppet Show

Live Wire Grandma - Love the Wild Boys Kit
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
The kids love having a FUN and SPORTY Grandma. She raised SIX boys and has always loved the outdoors and physical activities. She has to be careful not to overdo, facing those inevitable limitations, but she is still a LIVE WIRE in her 62nd year.

This Weeks Challenge
Hello ladies,
This weeks Challenge! If you decide to take it. Is about Journaling. Now Faye dont cringe. I know you can do this one. :o) What I would love to see from you all. Is a Journal on your layout that is not in the shape of a box. I owuld love to see a journal that has a shape whether it be a circle, a triangle any shape except for a square or a rectangle. You girls are so creative that I cant wait to see what you come up with. :o) Here are some tips on how to do it:
1.) make your shape on your page they way you want your text to follow. Apply your text over the top of this shape. Being careful to stay in the lines of the shape. This will give you the basic idea of the shape.
2.) Here's a tutorial to Photoshop. Not sure if it works with PSE or not. but its worth looking at.

3.) Here is an Elements Type Tool guide:

Hopefully this should get you started on how to do it. If you need more help, do a search on google, and there are tons of information to find. I will keep looking around and if I see anything I will post in the yahoo group.
Again, I'm very excited to see what you ladies come up with!!!
