Legoland2014

I used a sketch I found on the SweetShoppe website.  Here is the sketch:

Since we went to Legoland in December... I wanted my paper to reflect winter.  Most of my paper that I have in my software, was not what I wanted for my page.  I'll tell you how I created my background piece.  I started with a Basic Black background. I added a square punch shape to encompass the whole page and inserted Christmas Cocoa II DSP (it's originally brown with white snowflakes).  Once added, I changed the opacity on the paper to 20%.  This way you can still see soft snowflakes on the black background. Clever - Huh?

Now, on to how I created the Lego bricks.  No real mystery here. Just square punches with circle punches on top (the shadow I used for each circle is 0,0). Then, I added the Lego name in a text box. Yes, a lot of work, but it was so worth it.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Legoland

 

Continuing work on our 2012 Photobook, with our California trip in February.  We went to Legoland with Mike's brother, Dan, and his family.  So many Legos -- What a fabulous place!

Since I did not have Lego inspired paper or embellishments..... I decided to create my own.  I started by creating the circle (green) and adding the 'Lego' text -- which was a free font I found online called 'Lego Thick'. I copied and pasted circles to create a row (aligned them and spaced evenly), then 'grouped' the row.  Then, I copied that row and pasted it down the page. Yes... a bit of work, but less than having to create each individual circle! Lastly, I placed the green background behind the circles. I did this the same way for the red, yellow and blue embellishments!

Thanks so much for looking!
