Tagrel.Com Birthday Gifts for Digital Scrapbookers. Coolest one yet in post 18!

[MissBianca]

Greetings Taginators!

In honor of the site birthday, I've created a few digital scrapbooking goodies for you. Here's the first one, it's a template for a circular mat with a cutout Mickey border. Just download it HERE (http://www.4shared.com/file/41021667/7d08fda9/MissB_MickeyCircleMat_1.html) from 4-shared. It will look funny in the preview, but it will be just fine when downloaded. This mat is more than 8 inches in diameter at 300 dpi.

LOL, John! I can't wait to see what you do with the next one! It's a template for the Mickey hat and ears you see below.

Examples:

[WDWNJ]

OH Sure.... Where were you last week with this one????? :lol:

[MissBianca]

Well, to tell the truth, your wonderful Photoshopping gave me the idea. Does that help?

[Frogman]

HA! John, you give her the idea and still I get my name as the inspiration. I love it even more now! :rofl:

[MissBianca]

HA! John, you give her the idea and still I get my name as the inspiration. I love it even more now! :rofl:

Yeah. Clearly I haven't a single original thought of my own. But, Brian, read it again. It's your art that is the inspiration. I'm sure I could make something inspired by YOU but this isn't it. :lol: I think I would start with an endless set of reflections of an iPod in a TV screen in an iPod in a computer screen in an iPod in...

[Aimfred]

Thanks, Miss B! Those are very groovy! I'm out of school all next week and should be able to put those to use as I do some hardcore digiscrapping!

[Joe]

Those are great MissB, thanks for sharing your time and talents. And Froggy, thanks for being the inspiration.
Joe

[MissBianca]

I liked my first gift so much that I made 4 more mats and packaged them up for you.

[WDWNJ]

These are very cool MissB! Thanks!

[Joe]

Yes MissB, thanks much! These are way cool, and a great way for me to get started.
Joe

[MissBianca]

Well, Zazzle is down so I can't finish my freebie for today. So instead I have a challenge for you!

Tagrel.com Scrap The Tags Birthday Challenge

There have been a lot of really great multi-picture templates released in the digiscrapping community lately. I thought it would be fun if we raided the Tagrel.com gallery and made some scrapbook pages for everyone here to share! Possible themes could be a tribute to Margaret's food pics, karaoke, trip report embarrassments, the best of the photochops, big smiles, you get the idea!

Here are some multi-pic templates that non-Tags have created. I've linked each one to the site where you can see the whole credits and get the templates!

Of course you aren't limited to those designs--but you might be inspired by them. :) I'll be back later with my examples. If enough of us do this, we could have a whole album to share!

[WDWNJ]

I like it!!! Is there a due date?

Now, which one of the 500 ideas in my head should I use.... :confused:

[Aimfred]

Miss B,
I tried to download the last freebie of mats, but everytime I go to 4shared, it says the server limit has been reached to try again later. This has been happening since yesterday. Any idea what's up with that?

Anyway, the mats are so cute, I can't wait to download and add them to my digital Disney collection! I'm also working on some ideas for your challange.

[MissBianca]

Amy, no clue what would have been happening there. Try clearing your Internet cache. If that doesn't work, PM me your email address and I'll send you the .zip file.

So glad you like them! I do too, I think I'll get real use out of my own freebie. :lol:

John, no official deadline. Maybe we can shoot for the middle of April for a nice little album built up.

Next and final Birthday Freebie will be up soon. :D It's a goodie!

[MissBianca]

And here it is!

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/snowleopard55/TagrelStuff/MissBDisCharAlpha1previewsm.jpg

Important! Because I used so much art that was copyrighted by Disney, I don't feel comfortable letting this be distributed to just anyone. For that reason, please PM me for the password to open the .zip file. Use of that password means you won't distribute the files any further. Not that you would. :)

Revised Link Here for the Alpha! (http://www.4shared.com/file/41516830/1e3f629f/MissB_DisCharAlpha1.html)

[ChrisR]

:clap: :clap: Thanks so much MissB, for the really cool digistuff!!!!! They are so awesome. I actually have very few disney photos to scrap with right now I will have more after my next trip in early April though.

[Tagrel]

VERY cool MissB! I played with the Mickey party hat a bit...

Now, I'm off to put it to good use... :peri: :evilSmile:

Thanks!

[starzneyes4Mickey]

These are great Miss B!!

I'll be PMing in a minute!

Thanks!

[BetsyAnn]

MissB these are all so great! Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Now if I could just figure out what to do with them!:confused: :lol:

[MissBianca]

MissB these are all so great! Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Now if I could just figure out what to do with them!:confused: :lol:

May I suggest the delightful tutorials that I wrote for a starting point? Seriously, all it takes is one photo and one free kit (I can help with that) and anyone can do this!

Thanks!

Super use of that gradient, Dave! I can't wait to see these hats popping up in some photos. :D

[kathleena]

MissB Honey thanks so much for these wonderful goodies. I wish I had time to make something for ya, but not now as you know. Hopefully after I'm back in shape!

Hugs,

[WDWNJ]

I'm still playing with other ideas, but I finished this one last night and wanted to share.

I took the pictures from the March Photo challenge and made this;

I'm going to cross-post in the photo thread also.

[MissBianca]

Joh, it's gorgeous!!! I really love it! Anywhere i can see this layout on a larger scale?

:clap: :clap:

You got the chops--serious or silly :D

[Joe]

Well, it took me a while and some cross platform work, but here it is:

Enjoy

Joe

[MissBianca]

Totally cool, Joe!!

By "cross-platform" I assume you mean more than one tool? I do that all the time. I just wish Adobe would fix it so a layered .png from Fireworks would import in layers into Photoshop. That's an upgrade I would use almost daily--and would pay money for (Adobe, are you listening?).

[Joe]

No MissB, really cross platform. Cross applications I can handle without a lot of trouble. I did the template editing on a DOS machine and the finalization and web publishing on a Mac. But I do know how to fix that issue. There is a new PSE 6 out for the Mac that is available this week. Think I'm going to order it and see how it does.
Joe

[MissBianca]

Wow! Yup, that really is cross-platform! :notworthy:

I think the new PE will really be great for you!

[Joe]

Updated to clean up the pictures that were distorted. Thanks for the advice MissB!
