New Coolio Globe Technique!






This page was so fun to create in Storybook Creator Plus 3.0! First, I used the stamping tool to create my own Disney paper. I just put the Mickey ears element on a solid sheet of paper, right clicked and 'stamped' it (blended color stamp, noisy, .33 coverage & Invert selected). Then I copied my new Mickey ears stamp all over the page and grouped all of them along with the paper. I then saved the page as content so I could use it later for other Disney pages! For the 2nd page I just changed the colors of the background paper and the stamps to create a different look.

Next came the globe. I took a wonderful picture I love of my sister's family at Disney last year and copied it 25 times onto my page then evenly spaced them so it made a grid of 5x5 pictures. I selected all and flattened. I then went to the Format tab, selected Filters, selected Sphereize, rotation angle of 100 and checked Clip outside. Walla! Now I have a globe! I copied the globe 2 more times and made smaller for the 'ears'.

Next I made a text path around the ears, selecting repeat text to fill. I went around one ear and adjusted as I wanted, then typed 'Disney 2009' in Wishlist 2009 font. I copied it and pasted it for the other ear.

Lastly I brought over a Disney embellishment from the Disney Power Pallette and I was done! It was really fun and I encourage you to try making a globe page. I LOVE StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 and I'm so excited to learn more and more tricks every day.
