Scrapbook Template

So, I tried making a scrapbook template (even though I'm pretty bad at scrapbooking). And I don't think it turned out too bad.

Anyway, I used two different tutorials... One was for making a ribbon effect (I only needed it to create a ribbon that looked like a ribbon), and the other was for designing the actual template.

In the end, I made a mostly red template with five paper layers, one of which is acting as a layer adjustment, and another which is a "ribbon" border. I messed around a little with the opacities and blending modes. Also, I used several gradients and added an inside stroke to the places for the photos.

Here's an image of the template:

And here are the links for the tutorials:

The second tutorial is for the ribbon effect and the first is for the scrapbook template.
