SUPPLIES:

• Adobe Photoshop 7
• 1 sheet 12 x 12 white cardstock to print layout on.
• HugWare Used: Monster Bash by Leere' Aldrich

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Layout is designed in Adobe Photoshop 7. Size new project to size of desired scrapbook page.
2. Layer 1 is the green shading done with the brush tool on a soft edge setting at a 500 size. Shading is added around edge of project and in the center.
3. Layer 2 is the photo boxes. You would insert and crop your photos at this point instead of having blank squares. Add a drop shadow of desired depth to photos for added dimension.
4. Layer 3 is a purple rectangle to frame the title. Creat the desired box with the rectangle tool, choosing the box color and applying a drop shadow of desired depth.
5. Layer 4 is the title text. The font used is PC Spooky in black with a light drop shadow added, along with a small embossment to add depth and highlight.
6. Layer 5 is adding and sizing desired clipart images. Images used are from Monster Bash and all have a dropshadow added to them. This layer also has a drawn spider web added using the pencil tool with the desired thickness to create a irregular line.
7. Layer 6 is the Halloween 2004 text. Same font is used, but in white. A drop shadow and embossing is added for depth.
