Oh. My! It’s hot as hades here. Normally we are in the high teens/low twenties (60’s) but these last two days it’s been well over 30°C (low 90’s F). We don’t have air conditioning & I’m very heat adverse. It’s taken me two days, not one like I promised, to finish today’s post. Seriously, I practically melted from the heat!
If this is your first day, head on over to the first day of my new series WIP or Work in Progress; WIP: Wishing Well Day I. I’m scrapping one layout, slowly. I’m showing step-by-step what I’m doing in a series of easy to follow blog posts. For this first attempt at a WIP, I’m working with the teams outstanding new Coordinated Collection: Wishing Well.
Yesterday I replaced all the papers in Bryony’s Wishing Well {Faerie Folk} Templates by Heartstrings Scrap Art:
I mentioned I’m hot. Very hot. This means I’m all about the quick & easy today. Luckily my team has my back! Today we have a double freebie friday and one of the freebies is a fabulous cluster set created with…. Wishing Well! Before I can add my new free, worksaver cluster, I need to delete alllllllll the things it’s going to replace. Sorry Bryony! I’m taking the easy road today.
- Select all the elements you will be replacing
- Delete
A quick shout-out to Bryony, her templates rock! All the work she puts in, all the elements she adds, they really do help guide me to create a fantabulous layout. I just needed a short cut today.
Take a peek at my current layout/template. It looks so empty with all those elements deleted:
I’m now dragging in the wonderful cluster that’s part of the free Wishing Well [Clusters] by Sekada Designs.
- Download & unzip the free clusters
- Open the folder
- Click & drag your cluster element onto your layout
Marzena’s, Sekada Designs, cluster is a little too large for the space I want to place it. It’s also a little bit the wrong shape. No worries! I’ve got a fix. First I need to shrink & move it.
- Use the Move Tool and click on the element, drag the corners to resize
- Move to the “right” spot (for you)
The cluster is just perfect! But. The 2nd photo frame is a little hidden. I could just delete it, that’s a valid choice, but instead I’m going to drag it up & give it a little twist.
- Click & select all three photo frame Layers:
- Photo
- Frame
- Frame’s Shadow
- Drag all three layers above the new Cluster Layer
- With all three layers still select, use the Move Tool to give it a little twist
We are almost done! I’m loving how this layout is turning out. And I’m really, really happy with the cluster from Marzena today. It made my job a little easier. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler, back down into the 60’s, stay tuned!
