Will Clusters of Frames Get Me Caught Up?
August 1st, 2009
I bought a bunch of cluster frame sets at Designer Digitals this week while they were having a store-wide sale. I just went with a personal license for now because most of my S4H work uses only one picture per layout. I’m hoping that they will allow me to speed scrap! But, maybe not because these layouts didn’t take me any less time! I need to find a good action for shadows with warping options because I’m now hooked on doing it that way but it takes too long!
Anyway, Danielle completed her first Cheer Camp this week and she is having a blast! My favorite pictures are actually from the first day of camp, so I’ll be doing one more page to go with this set.
There really are not any techniques to share on this layout except for the warping. But, I’m really still figuring out the angles on that and my shadows are all over the place. So, the only word of advice I’ll offer is to first “load selection” on the item you want to warp so that the grid will be on just that item instead of the whole page. Most of the time I just fiddle with pulling the corners all down in the same direction. but, when you are dealing with fun elements like the swirls or the thread here you can really have fun pulling at all the middle anchor points too.
I am pleased with how this turned out, except for maybe the title. I think it could be better. I hope to use the frame clusters to scrap 2009 in real time and quickly move through my pictures from 2007 because I made Tabblo pages that year and all my photo editing/journaling is done. Hopefully the 13 packs of photo clusters I bought will do the trick.

Warping was a new term for me. I’ll have to try it out once I get caught up on the things I’ve got going on. You have some adorable layouts of your daughter at cheer camp. What a memory to share with your daughter as she gets older.
