Crazy CaT Studios Digital Scrapbooking

Resizing a layout to fit your photo

What are your options when your photo is too small to fit in the opening of a pre-designed layout? Here I resized the layout until the photo opening was the right size. I still wanted to have the overall size of the layout to be 12×12 so I just inserted a digital paper from the CD and made it the background.

Thanks for your neat product!

Shilind has taken a digital scrapbooking class with us. She’s a high school photojournalism/scrapbooking instructor and wants to learn more about digital so she can teach her students how to use technology to create scrapbooks.

I recently had the opportunity to take a class that taught the basics on how to use a number of the products offered by the Crazy Cat Studios. I was amazed at the versatility and ease in which to use the products. My past experience has always been with the traditional means of scrap booking and I was hesitant when I was introduced to the computer age. My mind has turned around 180 degrees and now I found myself in front of the computer more often than not. This past month I had committed myself to completing a father’s day gift for my husband. I compiled pictures of his youth and young adult years to put in an album. As time ticked away I worried I might not finish the gift. However, with the use of the Crazy Cat product line I was able to create numerous layouts in a fraction of the time. What a blessing to have this product in my bag of tricks, and by the way I completed his gift in record time.
