Once again - This Layout utilizes several pieces of one of my 1st EVER Digital Kits (coming soon) Please Read my "I Love you Always and Forever" post for more details.  

• My son looks SO much older than 6 in this photo (a little scary :0 - I have to add)!  But... I just LOVE the colors in this photo and his expression - well - priceless - My Little Rocker - all he needs is a guitar ha ha!  What a CUTIE!!!!

I Love You Always and Forever - Using Grunge Mask #1

In addition to using the Grunge Mask to complete this layout I have used several pieces from my first Digital Kit (still in the works) :0)!  

• Many of you have asked when the kits will be available.  First of all THANK YOU for asking!!

• I am working on them - trust me - :0) along with developing my new Site/Blog, digital kits, tutorials etc... I am also incredibly busy raising my 8 month old, my 6 year old, running a business amongst other "stuff" ha ha!  Soooooo all I can say... is... I am just as excited (probably more so LOL) than you for them to be released!!!  I thank you for hangin' in there!  As soon as I have a launch date set I will be posting the info here with GREAT excitement!!!

• THANK YOU so VERY much for your support here and on my "Simple Pleasure Designs by Jennifer Fehr" Facebook page!

Grunge Mask #1 HAVE FUN with this one!!

Bounce!

I love this photo of my oldest!  This layout emphasizes his bubbly, bouncy attitude!  A simple yet effective layout to draw out the personality of this fantastic shot of him!  

• BTW - I will have more to come in the way of future tutorials on how to create this super fun lettering!!  
• For now... check out your gradient options in the Cut and Fill ribbon.  For each letter - create a separate text box, shift the lettering up, down etc... until you have them positioned where you desire them to be.
• Flatten each letter in order to enlarge them, fill them with two tone colored gradients etc... here you can experience with different gradients - don't forget to scroll down to the very last row - my favorite is the second from the left :0)
• After filling with two tone color gradients - play with your 3D filter found in the Format Ribbon under Filters. I set all 3 sliders all the way over to the right for maximum Bounce!
• You can even create your own "faux" stitching!!  More to come on this technique later ;0)
• Have fun with the bouncy border freebie!

Bouncy Border Freebie for YOU! Enjoy!!!

A Beautiful Moment.

This Layout is definitely a reflection of a VERY beautiful moment between my boys!  My ABSOLUTE favorite photo of them together! 

• As you can see - this layout shares an example of the Flower and Word Art freebies in use.  These can be used beautifully on Black as shown here, or if you prefer -  they will look fantastic on white or a vivid color would work very well too!

• If you like the Photo Mask and Frame used here... keep an eye out for them... ;0)  I will post them soon!

A Beautiful Moment Word Art Freebie for YOU! ENJOY!

A FUN hand drawn Black and White flower freebie... Enjoy!

Here are some Photo Masks I designed months ago...

There have been requests from some of my viewers for me to re-post these for you!  If you don't have them... here is your chance to get em'  Enjoy!!! :)  

• Below is a layout showcasing one of these masks in use.  When importing a photo into a mask you may need to adjust the photo by cropping it from the top left as it will typically fill from this position - top left and down.  In fact sometimes I find I may need to crop the photo 3 or 4 times before it fills the mask correctly or to my desire!  
• TIP: Just right click on your desired photo in the photo panel and select "make a copy of this photo" this way you can play with a copy rather than the original - Also you may want to use this photo again on a separate layout in its original state!  
• Then - select the mask - go back to the desired photo - right click and select "fill selected element with photo"   Woila!
