Treasure Your Memories

What's Scrap for Hire?

2008-10-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

You probably have great pictures like these all over your computer.

What do you do with them now? You could get them printed, and then what? put them in a shoe box never to be seen again like all your old photographs?

What a sad fate for some of the best memories of your life!

Sure you'd like them in a nice album, but you don't have the time. Let me help! I can turn your pictures into beautiful scrap pages like this:

You can then have me print them for you page by page so you can put them in your own album, or I can do a whole album for you and have it printed into a nice book. You can then place it on your coffee table for all to enjoy! Or I can just send you a CD with your pages on it for you to print as you desire. (All printed items will also come with a CD).

You're memories don't need to be hidden away. They can be treasured!

Editing

2008-10-10T10:00:00.000-07:00

There are many editing options I can do. Included with any purchase I will fix the levels and sharpen if they are needed. Any of the below edits will cost extra. Prices will vary depending on the extent of the edit(s).

Extracting

Extracting is when you cut the subject out of the picture. There are many ways to do this. I use a combination. I enjoy doing it, though it is time consuming.

Black & White with Color
This is also a fun technique where the photo is black and white with bits of color showing through certain places to accent them.

Out of Bounds
This is where part of the subject is sticking out of the frame.

The Balloon is out of bounds
The wings are out of bounds also a fantasy edit.

Blending
This is where the picture blends is with the background.

Also an out of bounds edit on the bottom right picture.

Fantasy
Aw I love doing fantasy edits. They are very time consuming and involve many editing techniques, but if you're into that sort of thing it can be well worth it.
Other Edits
of course there's always your black and white, sepia and blending sepiaIt's not just black and white....the channels of gray are carefully balanced to optimize the photos appearance.

Anywhere from just a hint of tan to chocolate brown.

here I used a blending of sepia to enhance the photo. I love how it made the red pop!

Photo Restoration

I can also restore your old family photos or possibly some newer ones that need some restoring.

Name

I can put your pictures in a name or any word. Each letter can be individually framed for the wall, or the whole name together.

Had another edit in mind? Ask me about it!

About Me

2008-10-04T18:40:00.000-07:00

So you may want to know just a little bit about the person that will be pouring over your memories.

I'm Rachel. In the digital scrapbooking world I'm also known as Harmonystar. I've actually been digital scrap booking since I was in high school. This was when scrapbooking was mostly colored cardstock, construction paper, and stickers. Hardly the industry it is now. I used the computer a lot for school projects and figured why not scrapbooking? They were mostly white background with some clip art, but it was digital scrapbooking none the less.

Now anything done in "paper" scrapbooking I can do digitally plus more! The amazing designers have made such great kits for us digital scrapbookers! It makes my job so much fun! I also design elements and paper myself here and there.

Aside from digital scapbooking I also love reading. I'm taking a class to become a children's writer, and I used to be a ballroom dancer. I hope to teach beginning ballroom again in my near future.

I married my high school sweet heart after a couple semesters in college and a 8 month internship at Disney World (Yes it was Magical) and after he spent two years serving a mission in Canada for the LDS church. He still treats me like a princess.

After awhile we were happy to have an addition to our family. Jaden joined us and I quit my job as a Title I aid to be home and play with him all the time. I've never known more joy or frustration ever in my life. Which pretty much sums up a family in my opinion.
