Hey Guys. I'm back and I'm new. If you look at the New Users Form, you will find a post from me there. I've been reading up on digital scrapbooking lately and I am interested in it! I know this is very basic, but it's a little something that I wanted to do for my momma. Give me some ideas for future scrapping!
Alistair ... looks good to me, but hey, I don't matter .. the important question is "did your mum like it??" .... \:/ .. as for ideas, perhaps old newspaper headlines, grandpa's life (and grandma's) ... perhaps that's a start?? ... did you do all that in photoshop??
What about old photos of grandparents, great-grandparents etc?
This is one of my grannie when she was young - something similar in a sepia tone would look good on your page.

Namvet, mum totally did like it! This was all in photoshop. The background was a texture picture that I picked up from the stock exchange. Nothing special in terms of techniques. It's just getting the colors to blend and make a firm scheme.

That'd be a good Idea. I'd definately make a whole new one if you had a couple more pictures of your grandmother! Am I being weird or do I see plants in the background? \:/
I expect the plants are painted on the wall - it's a posed studio portrait.
Shaun .. I think it is probably a painted canvas backdrop ... used so that the photographer could change the background 'theme' in the same studio ... but perhaps one of our photographer members could enlighten us more
Namvet... the backdrop was and still is being used as a studio prop. There once were 'commercial art' companies that specialized in such things. These companies also painted backdrops for stage plays, museum displays and window displays for the bigger department stores. Many of them morphed into outdoor advertising (billboards). You can still get them from companies like this;
Alistair, as for the digital scrapbook, fun idea, keep in mind that a cd disk is only good for about 6 years (they say 10, but...)
soyou'll have to remember to copy them every now and then.. and in 6 years, who knows what they'll be copying onto.
