Stripe Paper down so that it is like the example and is just a strip
on the right of the page. To crop the paper right click on the image,
select effect then crop. You can drag the little squares to the
appropriate size. Drag the square on the left hand side to the desired
width, there are no rulers to measure exactly so just use your judgment.

Open the Riverscene Paper. Crop this paper using
the procedure in step 4. This time you will crop it down to a rectangle.
Click on the riverscene rectangle image so that you have the selection
box around the image. You can rotate the image by moving your mouse
over top of one of the corners the arrow will turn into a curve
then click and hold while you rotate the paper to the desired location.

and by moving your mouse can increase or decrease the size. If you look under Edit you will see Keep aspect ratio, this controls the
proportionate size try changing the size with this function on then
with it off, to see the difference.

Use Add a Photo to Page to but the Boxwood
Floral Frame square and a photo on the page. You may have to crop
your photo to fit or you can use the selection boxes to adjust the
size.
7.
Open the Striped tag and the silhouette tag. Adjust the size of
the ‘C’ to fit nicely on the tag. Click on Add journal text to the page icon, type
tin ‘herished’, adjust the size to fit beside the C. Now you want
to group all the tag images together before you rotate this image.
To do this it is easier if you zoom in and then select individual
items. To use the zoom tool go to the top tool bar and click on
View then you can use
the zoom in or zoom level. Select one o the items hold the shift
key and select the second item while still holding the shift key
select the third item, you will see a bounding box around all the
items. Now click on Edit in the top tool bar then group.
If you want to ungroup these later you can use the ungroup and toggle
back and forth. Once the tag is grouped you can rotate it and place
it on the photo frame as per the diagram.
8.
Now we are going to add a couple of tags; one is Memories of and
the other is The Williams Family. We will do the black tag first.
Click the icon Add
Paper scrap to page. Scroll under category on the left
hand side and pick construction paper, then find the black colour
and select it. Check custom
shape under options then click on change shape. Scroll
down and find the shape number 0104 this gives you a torn effect
on the right side of the paper. Now go to edit and turn off
Keep aspect, this allows you to change the
shape and size without keeping the square proportion. Reduce the black paper to the correct size.
Add journalizing, select the font and change the color using the
drop down box on the bottom left. Then find the file with the metal
brad, position all items together, zoom in and select all the items
then group together. Place the tag as per the diagram. Repeat this
for the next tag using a lighter colour paper and darker colour
for the font.

you select the image while the properties box is still open you
can reduce the opacity by moving the button towards transparency.
I reduced the opacity by about 20%.

Find the numbers in your folder and place on page.

place in there. Right click on the photo to change the
shape find an oval shape in the change shape box.
