In honor of it being Thursday, RLR Creations has a new trick for you to try out on all your digital scrapbooking pages! To jazz up your digital creations, follow the simple steps provided by RLR Creations in the following How-To tutorial on how to make write text on a path and take your journaling to the next level.

How to write text on a path in Photoshop

  • Step 1: From the tool box select the Pen Tool and draw your path, you can drag the vector points and directional anchors around until you get the shape you want by using the direct select tool.

    (Note: Creating a curved line is simple---just hold down the shift key as you drag out a line.)


**Photoshop Elements Users: Sorry writing text on a path is not supported in your software, however you can still enjoy the free premade path given as today’s freebie. Simply download the free text art path and open in your program, then change the included text with your own text.**

  • Step 2: Once you have completed your outline and adjusted to your liking, select your Text tool and hover it over the path you make until the mouse cursor changes to a squiggly line through the text cursor. Click on the path and start typing.


  • Step 3: If the text is showing up on a part where you did not want it, you can adjust the start and end points by selecting the Direct Select tool (Located under the Path Selection Tool, under your Text tool.), select it by pressing Shift + A until its active-but no more than twice. Hover over the start point of the text path until an arrow appears then drag it in to set the start point, then repeat for the end point.


Be sure to check into tomorrow for Freebie Friday to download something free that revolves around RLR Creations new creation. The entire Disney Princess collaboration kit will be available for purchase tomorrow from RLR Creations website.

Adding Style to Your Digital Word Art!

How to “ink” the edges of Titles
(For Photoshop and Elements)


1. Create a new layer and choose a broad stroke font for best results, then type your title.

(Futura is a great font choice- If you do not have this font you can download it here.)

2. In the Layers Palette, right click on the type layer and choose Simplify Layer.


3. Select the Magic Wand tool-Set the Tolerance to 1 and leave the Contiguous box unchecked.
Click anywhere on the title to select all of the letters.

4. Press Delete


5. With the selection border still active (marching ants) Select Brush tool and load a small soft round brush.


6. Working in smooth strokes trace along the marching ants to “ink” the title irregularly.


7. After you have brushed around all of the letters choose Select>Deselect (Ctrl-D) to reveal your “inked” title.

It is as simple at those 7 steps. Use this technique to add flare to your digital scrapbooking titles!

Template Tuesday:
Free Pre-made Digital Scrapbooking Layout!

Today, RLR Creations will be giving you another new pre-made digital scrapbooking template to add to your collection, because it is Tuesday again!! This layout is different from those that have been given away the previous two Tuesdays. Keep in mind, once RLR Creations has given 6 freebie templates away to readers, those layouts will be pulled and made into a new template set. This pre-made digital scrapbooking template set will be able to be purchased from RLR Creations website at that time. Don't let the Tuesdays get away from you, make sure you check out the previous week's freebie templates!

Digital Scrapbooking Templates are easy to use and will give your creativity a jump start! You just drop your own papers, elements, journaling, and photos into the pre-made layout using your prefered Digital Scrapbooking program, such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or any Software program that excepts PSD files and allows you to work in layers.

These templates can be used over and over again, giving you enough help to complete your scrapbooking needs!

These layouts are available for everyone who wants to give the pre-made digital scrapbooking template a try. You can download today's Template by clicking on the photo that appears below:

In addition to this weeks freebie template, RLR Creations has prepared a tutorial demonstrating how-to colorize grayscale elemnts in pre-made layouts! Be sure to follow the steps to add more of your personal creativity to the template as you are clipping in your own embelishments, decorative papers, journaling, and photos.

Pre-Made Templates are a perfect tool for anyone to create a custom look for their digital scrapbooking albums.

There are basically two methods to colorize the element layers within the template.

The first method is to fill a shape with a digital paper or a photo. The second method is to color the grayscale elements using color tools. Today we will focus on how to color grayscale elements in your Pre-Made digital templates.

Two simple methods to colorize Grayscale elements in a pre-made template:

Using a single color is the quickest way to color your pre-made template. Here is how to accomplish coloring grayscale elements using a single color:

  • 1. Open your template and select the layer you wish to add color to by clicking on its layer.

  • 2. Go to Image>Adjustment>Hue and Saturation

    (Elements users: Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Hue and Saturation)

  • 3. Check the Colorize box and use the sliders to adjust the color of the element to your liking.

Grayscale elements are unique because they include the texture and shading to make the finished product realistic. Because of this simply filling the element with a color will lose this information and the element will fall flat.

You can keep the textures and shading of an element by duplicating the element you wish to color first.


  • 1. Use the same steps above to color the element using the duplicated layer you created.

  • 2. After you have reached your desired color for the element use the blend modes, located at the top of the Layers Palette to blend the duplicated layer with the original layer, to allow the texture of the element to come through.

  • 3. Adjusting the curves or the brightness/contrast will also allow to you lighten or darken your element to further enhance its realistic look.

By using the methods above you can enhance any elements that are included in a pre-made digital scrapbooking template.

By using the methods provided by RLR Creations in this How-To tutorial you can enhance any elements that are included in a pre-made digital scrapbooking template, giving you more ownership in the creative end product!!

Have you found that you only have personal photos to add to this free template and you need the additional elements? Check out RLR Creations creative digital designs. There are Digital Scrapbooking kits for every occasion! You can find them here!

Be sure to be check back in tomorrow for Word Art Wednesday! RLR Creations will be providing you with a step by step process on How-To "Ink" the edges of your titles, which will allow you to add a gently distressed title that will warm up a clean edged page layout. Remember, Word Art Wednesday is the best way to get through the middle of the work week!

Today, RLR Creations will be giving away a new pre-made template in honor of it being Tuesday!! This template is different from the one given away last Tuesday, so if you haven't downloaded the previous layout, be sure to check it out.

Digital Scrapbooking Templates are easy to use and will give your creativity a jump start! You just drop your own papers, elements, journaling, and photos into the pre-made layout using your prefered Digital Scrapbooking program, such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or any Software program that excepts PSD files and allows you to work in layers.

These templates can be used over and over again, giving you enough help to complete your scrapbooking needs!


These layouts are available for everyone who wants to give the pre-made digital scrapbooking template a try. You can download today's Template by clicking on the photo that appears below:



To ensure you get the results from the pre-made digital scrapbooking layout, RLR Creations wrote a "How To" tutorial that was published in last Tuesday's post! If you need help figuring out how to use this weeks template, refer back to last weeks post to make sure you get the best use out of this weeks layout.

This week, RLR Creations will provide you with a helpful piece of information about templates:

Pre-Made Templates are a fast, quick and easy way to create a layout. Easily clip your papers, photos and elements into the pre-designed placeholders. Color the grayscale elements using the hue adjustments in your program, type a title and add some journaling and print!

Tip! To get more out of your pre-designed layout templates: Use your Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical commands to change your page orientation and each template quickly becomes four or more completely different layouts.
