Creating a Digital Scrapbook Layout

• Change the Appearance of a Photo Frame
  Right-click on any frame and select a shape from the Shape menu, such as a starburst, triangle, a heart, etc. You can also set a frame's border thickness, style, and color from the Shapes menu on the toolbar. I'm going to add a gold border around my photos.
  
  
• Add or Delete a Photo Frame
  To add a photo frame, drag and drop a frame shape from the tool bar. To delete, simply select the frame and hit "delete." I am going to add another photo frame to use as a background "matting" for my photos. I have selected a large vertical rectangle, and inserted a photo (Tiles: Solids no. 8) to use as a background.
  
  
• When you do this you'll find the new photo frame is on top of your photos. We want it in the background. To send it to the background, click on the frame and on the tool bar select Arrange and Send to Back. I put a thick gold dotted line around the background frame.
  
  
• Adding Text
  Click on the Text Tool and type anywhere on the background of your layout. Text is treated as a floating object you can drag to any position in your layout. You can change the appearance of your text by using the commands under the Text menu or the text buttons on your toolbar. I'm going to add a title, added a black background to the text box and a gold line.

• Adding Graphics
  Open a clip art library by double-clicking on its name in the Explorer or by dragging it to the drawing area. Just drag and drop any clip art object from it to the page. You can resize or rotate clip art by dragging the black handles you to resize or rotate it. Reposition it by dragging and dropping it on your page. I'll add a paw print (found under symbols).
  
  
• Here is my finished scrapbook page. Use your imagination and have fun!
