Avery: 7 Months... and Template Tutorial



Holy Moly. This little girl is already 7 months old.




To purchase the templates, see this post. 

Now, for the Milestone Template how-to:


1. After opening the Milestone Template and (if applicible) a photo you'd like to match, double click on the "Color Overlay" layer effect under the Layer titled "you."

2. The Layer Style window will open. Click on the little colored box, and the Select Overlay Color window will open. You can use the rainbow slider to select pretty much any possible color, or...

3. Just click anywhere on your photo. Photoshop will select that exact color.

4. Verify that it is the color you want in the "new" box on the top, and click OK. (Then click OK again in the Layer Style box)

4a (not numbered). If you'd like to move the "you", just click and drag it anywhere in the template.



5. To change the color of the large number, double click on the "Color Overlay" layer effect under the Layer with the number. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to choose a color.

6. Double click on the Weight/Height text layer...

7. And change the information.



8. Double click on the Milestones List text layer,

9. ...and enter in your facts, tidbits, and other text.

10. When you're satisfied, save and then send to your favorite printer!

As always, if you run into a snag, or have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail.

    I was wondering if these work with Photoshop Elements? I am in the process of starting my daughters baby book and have detail journaled her 18 months so far and plan to do this until 24 months. Could you make this template that would go until 24 months?

      You're so good! I should have done a couple years (although I started to get burned out after one...)

      These templates will work with Photoshop Elements.. :) I could make months 13-24 and offer them as a separate product, although I wouldn't be able to get to them until probably the start of next year.

      Awesome! I would definitely buy them if you could make the other template!

    Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I am still interested in the template that goes to 24 months. Last time I talked to you you said that you wouldn't be able to even start it until after the first of the year and I just wanted to let you know that I am still interested. Hope you are doing well! Thanks!

    Just wanted to show my interest here, too, for the 13-24 templates. :)

This Much Card and a Kid Canvas

Father's Day ideas continued... I decided to show you the things Harvey and I made to give to Justin. First up... "I Love You This Much Card": It's super easy... 1. Trace your child's hand, then cut out two copies. My paper was double sided so I made sure that when the thumbs match up - the yellow side would be inside, and the blue side would be outside. 2. Cut out a strip of paper and fold it accordion style. Use letter rub-ons or stickers to add the words "I Love You" on the outside, and "This Much" on the strip of paper.  3. Glue the ends of your accordion strip on the insides of the hands and your card is done. :) Kid Canvas: Then Harvey and I made a little canvas (4 inches x 4 inches) to hang on the wall in Justin's office at work. I purchased small ones so we could add to them each year and hang them in one grouping. I prepainted the canvas in green, then set Harvey in the bathtub with blue paint and

Thinkin' About Dad

So.. Father's Day is in 10 days. Yeah - already. Here are a few ideas for you... Shirt Card: All you need are two papers, and two buttons. 1. Cut one paper into a piece 4 inches by 11 inches. Fold it in half so you have a card base that opens "up" and measures about 4 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall. 2. Measure one inch from the fold and draw a line 3/4 inches toward the center on both sides of your card.  Use scissors to cut through both papers at the marks. 3. Fold these pieces in to the center of the card, so the top corners meet in the middle. 4. Download this tie pattern... Here is an alternate link to download the file: Shirt Card Template ...and use it to trace and cut a tie out of your second paper. Glue your tie in the center of the card. 5. Add buttons to the collar to make it more realistic. (Or, if you want to do it digitally, go here to download an awesome template from ScrapMatters.com) Here are some clutter-free Father's Day gif

Our General Conference Center

I know, no one is thinking about General Conference right now. But tonight I'm showing my board to my mom's Relief Society group, and I wanted to have the printables available to them if they decided to complete this project. If any of you are interested... you have three and a half months to complete it. :) Two days before General Conference, I stumbled across this idea for engaging young children.... and I thought it was absolutely amazing. (And so are most of the ideas found on Jen Lund's blog - check it out!) One of the main reasons I love this idea, is that it doesn't just distract young children from being disruptive during Conference, but it engages them and encourages them to listen! I'm not gonna lie. It took time to put together, but I am positive that Harvey will enjoy working with this board. That will hopefully translate into Justin and I being able to listen, and that will make all of my hard work worth it in the end. Here's how i
