Journal Frames

Journal Frames

Journaling in our digital layouts is often a hit or miss issue for a lot of us. If you’ve read my “Tell Your Story” post from back in March of 2023, you already know how I feel about journaling. I readily admit that I truly was not a good story teller in my early days of scrapping. These days I occasionally find myself looking at a layout and having trouble finding just the right spot to easily add text and…

Fancy Ligatures

Fancy Ligatures

If you’ve been following me for more than a little while you likely know I’ve written multiple posts about fonts. And in at least two posts I’ve talked about glyphs.

It wasn’t long after that post that I saw a meme, comment or newsletter in which someone was asking why a font they had wasn’t showing up in Photoshop Elements. And that’s what spurred this post. Font Not Found Before I get started just…

See-Thru Title

See-Thru Title

Several weeks ago, in my “Spiked Title” post I showed you how to create an interesting effect using the Distort Filter in Photoshop Elements (PSE). Today I’m going to share another fun tip that won’t involve any PSE Filters. This time I’ll be using vellum. I’m guessing by now you must be thinking I’ve been on kind of a title kick lately. Well, there’s a bit of truth to that. I have been looking for new (or renewed) ways to…
