“A girl on the way” The Collection meaning When the girls travel...
Hello my sweet friends. Thank you so much for joining me in this new project. I’m so proud to talk you of this new collection. Well, what I’m trying to narrate, is the women’s point of view about travel the world. I think that women (girls in general) approach the beauty of a journey in a romantic way. First of all, each journey express basically the desire to make our personality stronger. We want to travel in order to grow up, to become better people, to find new sources of inspirations, to fall in love again. This year I wasn’t able to plan my journey. And believe me, it hurts. I feel like a huge emptiness inside my soul. That’s why I felt 4

the need to make this collection; It’s probably my desperate attempt to fill up that emptiness and to keep alive my hope leave again, sooner or later..
ready-to-use collection, full of wonderful fasteners to help you to make beautiful layouts very quickly. The piece I love most is the pack of Tags! They’re very lovely and add a touch of strong realism to your pages. I also did a CU version pack, including that I will fully customizable templates.

The Elements
Elements close-up Tons of original items
I choose every single element with lot of care. I assure that the elements are at high-definition, that they are unique and that 90% of them are totally new. It means that I didn’t use them for older collections, and I try to recycle commercial use items very rarely. More than 50% of my elements aren’t commercial use items. I spend many hours taking shots and extracting elements, because I think that each kit must have its own soul, a unique creative soul which hardly can be found otherwise.

A girl on the way (Papers) Because i love what i do
Papers are for sure one of the hardest thing to do. People could easily think the contrary, but they are wrong. A paper could ruin a page if it has been made at low quality, or it can totally emphasize a layout making the job of hundreds of beautiful elements. Papers are even more important than elements, because they’re like the foundations of a house: if they’re weak, it will probably collapse down. If you have high quality papers (both in definition as in the style), then you’ll be able to render a magnific page just with a picture and 3 elements. Try to believe.

Coordinated pieces everything you need
Well, these are the basic pieces you absolutely must have to create easily and fast your own projects. You find as usual the album, the clusters and the bottom stacks. These are the ideal fasteners you never should miss, because they’re essential to work fast and to have better results. As I previously announced, I did a wonderful pack of stamps. It includes the png elements (black and white) and the set of brushes for Photoshop. They’re awesome to decorate your pictures. And then you see the travel tags; You can purchase the personal use version or the CU set. Enjoy!

Hello, as I know from being active on digital scrapbooking forums there are many of you who don’t know how to create a quick page. So I thought it would be interesting to show you how I make them using adobe Photoshop. So here it is.
2. you go to the layer under your picture layer, still having this selection on your page where the picture was before. When you click delete; You sometimes get this message: “Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable”; So you click ok then. You go to the layer itself and click right mouse button and do rasterize layer when Using Adobe Photoshop you do delete this time it will remove the part of the When your page is finished and you saved it as a element that’s in your selected photo area. psd as well as a jpg file. (that’s what I always do); Then you have to follow these steps:

3. So you just follow these steps till you are at the background layer. Always the same move doing layer 1. you go to the layer where you’re picture is on, you by layer rasterize layer and delete. 12
4. The background layer will sometimes delete the selected part easily, but sometimes it will not remove the selected part. When you have locked the background layer, you simply have to drag the lock into your bin. You do that by clicking left mouse button on the lock keeping it clicked in and dragging it to the bin. When you push delete button now it will remove the selected part of your background. You still have the selection on your page which you don't need any more. So you can do select and deselect.
chose as format png! You can also chose png options. I always do the standard compression smallest/slow and interlace none and click ok.
