I’m very confused. Is a kit a physical kit of papers and embellishments sent to me or is it a download? Do I then print off my finished pages or do I save them somehow that they become a slideshow? Where does it explain what I do with a template once I have it the way I want it to look?
Hi Jeanene,
A kit on a digital scrapbooking site like ours is a collection of digital images that you download to your computer. What you do with them after that is up to you, but most digital scrapbookers create digital scrapbook pages that can be displayed in galleries online or printed on an ink jet printer at home or uploaded to a photo book on the web to be printed.
My training for digital scrapbooking teaches you how to use the kits to create digital pages and explains how to print your pages or do other things with them. http://www.scrappersguide.com/beginner-training-cds/
This is such a beautiful kit! I’m a little confused too about kits. I’ve downloaded some but don’t know how to make each piece an individual piece when I want to start a layout using Elements.
Hi, I am new to digital scrapbooking and have just finished your CD training program. Now I am looking for additional papers and elements. The way this kit is displayed is the best…it shows all the elements in the kit well. Since I am new to this, some of the other kits are hard for me to really see what is included. Thanks so much for the training CD. It was awsome!!!
Hi Donna,
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed my training! I know you’re going to have a lot of fun with digital scrapbooking. If you run into any snags, do post a question on our forum—scrappersguide.com/forums—and I’m sure you’ll get a very fast response.
I can not figure out how to make the half-circle frame. It’s in the album template and on the Family-Yearbook-gallery-08 picture. I purchased the album and the kit but that frame wasn’t included in the kit. I think it’s very cool looking and would like to create my own page with that on there but no success yet.
On Photoshop Elements custom shapes it looks like I could use ‘Frame 6′ but I’m not getting good results. It’s too fat and I can’t adjust it to get a close substitute. Some help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Teresa,
You can create a similar look with the Ellipse tool, one of the Shape tools that’s hidden under the Rectangle tool. Click and hold on the Rectangle tool to get a flyout menu where you can choose the tool.
The circle is not difficult to do, but it’s fairly lengthy to explain unless you are pretty familiar with digital scrapbooking techniques, so I will give you the basics here, but I can’t teach a course on digital scrapbooking here!
Click and drag a large circle with the Ellipse tool. Click on the Simplify button in the Options Bar and use the Rectangular Marquee tool to select half of the circle and delete it.
Create a second circle in the same way that is a bit smaller than the original one and place it above the first one.
Group a piece of digital paper to the larger circle (Layer > Group with Previous) and group a photo to the smaller circle.
Like I said, if you have a good basic understanding of digital scrapbooking, you should be able to follow these instructions with the circle on the layout above to guide you. If this makes no sense to you at all, you may need to learn more about digital scrapbooking!
(We’ve all been there!)
Hope that helps!

Here’s a link to check out my digital scrapbook training courses.
was this a premier kit in the past? If so, what month and year?
Hi Gloria, This kit has never been a Premier kit, but was originally included with our training for PS Elements 5. If you have any other questions, please email me at mary@digitalscrapper.com Thank you.
