" I love your software and I've created some really fun scrapping pages.
I continue to be amazed with the flexibility of what can be done with the
program, it's awesome! ...
Here are a few of my sample pages you can use on your gallery. "

Following are some layouts created by Michelle Thompson of
UKScrappers.co.uk for an FxFoto Creative review.
She also has a
blog.
Layout No 1 : Forest Sitting
I started off wondering how easy it might be to use a quickpage from a digital
designer – these come all designed up as a flat file, with transparent "holes"
for placing your photographs under. I used a beautiful and new quickpage
by Carrie Stephens, called Good Times. I layered under three photos (one of
which was incredibly blurred unintentionally so) and then augmented the layout
with lettering and embellishments out of the Colours of Heritage kit created
by Katie Mann and which came with the FxFoto package. Coincidentally the two
worked together perfectly with the same colourings and sun-symbolism.
Layout 2 : November at CenterParcs
I was enamoured by Katie Mann’s Colours of Heritage kit which came with FxFoto,
so decided to use this as a background for another layout from the same photo
range. All backgrounds on this aside from the exceptions, are from this kit.
The green Hessian, leaf embellishment and N alpha come from Mo Jackson's Zahra
kit. I found it easy to crop the trendy circles out of backgrounds in FxFoto,
and to keep the cropping line to easily create mats for the large photo. And
the transparency brush allowed me to easily zap out some bits of the ribbons
to allow for the inter-weaving of Katie’s ribbons in the corner.
Layout 3 : Monitor Wallpaper (1)
Okay, so I got sick of creating layouts in the same day, so tried out the
collage to create wallpapers. I chose a large pixel size of 1024x768, as I have
17inch monitors. The elements and backgrounds used on this layout are by
Shir Benovich who has provided a kit for the FxFoto Creative Edition called
simply "Bright Colors".
Layout No 4 : Family Safari
Yes, they are bright, and yes, this is on my screen as a background at the
moment. The wallpaper facility is nice to use when creating a collage - I had
intended creating a new background wallpaper for my computers for each month,
with a calendar insert, and different scrapping layouts and ideas included.
FxFoto makes it easy to select the right size already, and drag and drop on any
backgrounds and elements I want. If you look really closely, you'll notice that
I've included the two layouts I’ve only just created today, as small thumbnails
into this collage.
Layout No 5 : Wallpaper (2)
This one is destined for my work PC monitor - I didn't want to splash it out
too loudly, and wanted to use a calendar file on it, for organisational
purposes. The background papers are by Lilach Oren, the November calendar is
by Valarie Lemons (I've filled it in with family schedules), and I've peppered
more layouts on it also. You can see that I took a liking to Clara Wallace's
Girl Power ribbon belt so much, that I re-used it on this wallpaper collage
also, plus the poloraid frames around my layouts come from the same kit.

These layouts use the 100% Boy scrapbooking kit graphics included
with FxFoto Creative Editions on CD-ROM.
