Items Needed to Complete this Digital Scrapbook
A scrapbook album for 26 pages: I mention this 'obvious' needed item because I want to point out that the dimensions of your album may be different than mine and a specific size won't be given for some items in this tutorial (such as fonts). It'll be your decision based on good proportion for your own pages. Don't forget to get some photo quality paper for printing your digital scrapbook.Fonts and Dingbats. You may download these from Font Freak:
- Border Corners
- EZBorder
- Fazings1
Some handwriting fonts for journaling can be found at Font Paradise and here at About.com.
Note: Fonts do not have to be 'installed' to use them. Just download unzip and save to a folder. To use the font, open the TTF file and minimize. Paint Shop Pro will recognize the font and include it in the Tool Options.
Pattern tiles: We'll use a gingham pattern and a dotted pattern. Instead of providing pattern files (which would be my choice of colors), I'll provide instructions. Once you learn how to make them yourself, you can make bunches… in all the colors you want! Feel free to choose patterns from your own collection and use them instead of gingham and dots.
Clip art and tubes: We'll be using the Alphabet Block tube from Jasc as the main theme.

You'll also want a collection of A to Z images to embellish your pages. Some nice picture tubes can be found at the PSP web siteor the PSP Tubes Category on this site.
