Free Download Sports

If you know how to digital scrapbook in PhotoShop elements, you already have a number of sports elements at your fingertips. Take baseball, for example.

Digital Scrapbooking Paper can be made free in Adobe PhotoShop.

* Begin with an 8″ x 8″ square of grassy green.
* On the tool bar, change the background color to earthen brown, and then rotate your canvas 45 degrees in either direction.
* You should now have a green baseball diamond surrounded by brown earth. Select “images > adjustments > variations” to lighten or darken your digital scrapbooking page.
* Select “images > image size” from the top tool bar. Increase the size to 12″ x 12″ square. This is standard digital scrapbooking paper size.
* You may add bases, if you wish, by using the “custom shape” tool.
* Your paper is now ready to use.

Digital Scrapbooking Frames can also be made free in PhotoShop. First unlock your background layer. Then use the rectangular or oval marquee tool to open windows in your digital scrapbooking paper. Create colored frames with the “custom shape” tool. PhotoShop has an excellent “torn paper” frame. You can shade these later.

Another good source of frames is the clipart file in Microsoft programs. These can be copied and pasted into PhotoShop or another graphics program. Alternatively, use a clipart design to create a frame. Simply repeat a simple baseball around the window you opened for photos. Or line up bats end-to-end around your photo window.

Digital Scrapbooking Journaling can be accomplished readily, with a wealth of free elements in your software. PhotoShop and Microsoft programs both offer “talk bubbles” into which you can add your digital scrapbooking notes. Most software also has a wealth of fonts from which to choose.

Digital Scrapbooking Elements can be made with free clipart or your “custom shape” tool. A clipart image of a baseball bat, with a short straight line to indicate a stick pin, can be used to tack a photo in place.
