Club Scrap Lock and Key Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Blog Hop for Lock and Key.

I have decided to make this month more of a little tutorial on resizing photos and using the wonderful qddl pages which come with every Club Scrap digital kit.

First you have to open your photoshop or elements software (or other software that you use).  Grab a qddl and a photo.  My qddl this month is one from Lock and Key and the photo was one taken at Miller field on the way from Milwaukee airport to Kimberly for Retreat.



Once you have both open simply drag the photo onto the layout.



To resize the photo make sure you are in the layer that has the photo selected and click.  You should see the photo highlighted and some "handles" in the corners.  Hit the shift key and left click holding the left click down and just drag until the photo becomes the desired size.  Alternatively, go to the edit menu > transform > scale and you can do the same thing. 


You will see that the photo overlaps the frame.  To correct this simply place the photo layer below the qddl layer in the layers palette.



Now you are done.  Of course you can add more to the qddl but in this case I think it is done!
