About Templates

It's time for templates. Yay! Templates are like the backbone in scrapbook. You can customize the shapes in the template. It can be a whole scrap page or another embellishment. They appear gray because you're supposed to give them life through color. I'll give you a sample.

I used the papers and recolored the templates to this.

By the way, the girl in the picture is my younger sister 5 years ago. I am camera-shy so I wouldn't dare posting photos of me.

Using templates

Of course the question is HOW can we do that? I looked for a video and found one in:

Just click on "Using Page Templates Photoshop Elements." After watching it you will be able to recolor other embellishments.
