" 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. "

" I am just starting out on doing some Wedding Photography. I have been looking for a software that would accommodate me with pretty much most of my needs for my digital Photo coverage. Your Program does this for me and after some experimental time with it, have found it quiet good. Not to forget to mention the price tag for such program is also very good. Thank you for developing a good program. "

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.
