Taking off the edge

Rounding the corners on your rectangular photos and papers gives layouts a subtly softer look.  When I used to paper scrap, I would go weeks where I used my corner rounder punch on every single piece of paper I could get my hands on!  Then I would switch back to sharp corners for a few weeks until my taste changed again.

When it comes to digital scrapbooking, the equivalent of a corner rounder punch is a corner rounder brush.  This type of brush used as an eraser will make rounding corners child’s play.  The best thing about it?  You don’t end up with teeny tiny pieces of paper all over your floor and if you don’t like the result you can simply click “undo!”  This week we’re over at the IdeaBooks4u blog we’re creating layouts with rounded corners (but I bet you already guessed that)! 

Design Team member Steph Vetne will walk you through the process re-creating her layout “Saying Yes” that was published recently in “Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 2.”

This is an easy technique that really gives your layouts a new look.  I hope you’ll play along in this week’s challenge.  If you do, be sure to post at the IdeasBooks4u Inspiration Gallery.  Have a great week!  Jill
