Watch Me Digital Scrapbook: Week 42b 2019

For this spread I'm using This Is Us by KimB. Find more details on the templates I'm using by clicking on the layouts below.

A quick tip I use in this layout: I like to use the lasso tool to trim a long ribbon to fit the space I need. Depending on your Photoshop, you may need to rasterize the layer first before you can cut off part of the layer. I often like to use a jaunty angle when cutting to mimic a less precise "real life" cut.

I also use the adjustment panel to adjust the color in a pocket card to better match the kit I’m using. This is a really helpful skill to practice, so that you can add in almost anything to your layout and get it to match what’s going on. No need to search for the perfect item in the perfect color.

I also like to blend my word art into the background paper, to make it look more natural. In this case I changed the color to white, then blended it with the background a bit to make it look more natural.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
