			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Digital Scrapbook Templates is a good tool for scrapbookers. I have often heard scrapbookers state that they think using templates are like &#8220;cheating&#8221;, or that they are useable simply for beginners. I totally disagree on this saying!</p>
<p>Both newcomers as well as more knowledgeable scrapbookers can benefit from <a href="http://www.kristinsscrapdesign.com/" target='_blank'>Digital Scrapbooking Templates</a>.  Some people simply cut their images and papers and throw in a number of elements when they make use of templates  And if that is pretty much all you want, that is great. But if you use templates as a starting point there is a lot more you can do with them.  A template can be flipped, rotated and turned upside down to suit your needs. When you have added background papers and images to the template, use your own imagination and creativity so that you can create a completely unique page from it.</p>
<p>A Digital Scrapbooking Template is usually created as a psd or a tiff file.  These kinds of file formats support layers which usually is the overall point by using them. You basically include your own backgrounds, images as well as elements on the layer above the layer in the template, and then you group your paper or photo with the underlying layer.  Are you trying to figure out what I am talking about? It may sound like a foreign language before you learn how, but don&#8217;t fret. It&#8217;s not as difficult as it may sound.</p>
<p>Digital Scrapbooking Templates are also perfect for creating photo books. You can find a lot of sets available in online scrapbooking stores. Photobook templates are often created in different styles, it could be a minimalistic type or a more whimsical style.  If you use templates this way, you can be sure that your photobook will get a similar design througout the entire book.</p>
<p>Starters often struggle to get the hang of <a href="http://www.kristinsscrapdesign.com/digital-scrapbooking/" target='_blank'>digital scrapbooking</a>, and most form of computer software has a learning curve. But I really suggest making the trouble to get familiar with a software like photoshop, photoshop elements or a comparable application, instead of very simple scrapbooking applications with very limited possibilities. Digital Scrapbook Templates can be a great help being familiar with the key points of digiscrapping.</p>
<p>You will learn the basics faster by making use of templates  If you take a look at how all of the layers are organized in a template, you will very soon see that the principles of making use of layers is very similar to paper scrapping techniques. You start with a digital background paper, just like you do with real paper, and then add photos and elements in layers just like you would on a paper scrapbook layout.. Also ensure that you include journaling to your layout, a couple of years from now this will be the most important part of the pages you make. At least, that is what I think is most important, even if some scrappers might disagree and prefer to use scrapbooking as a form of art to create fantasy layouts.  For me, digital scrapbooking has always been all about telling a story, and I always follow a simple rule to answer these questions: Why, where, when and what&#8217;s the story about the photo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marvel comics started in 1939 with comic books for all people to enjoy. But after attaining adulthood those very things are either forgotten or simply ignored for newer fashionable things. Yet there are still certain things that are too addictive to get rid off! But, many people will never stop enjoying the comic books that they once enjoyed as children. How can anyone resist the pull of Spider man, Iron Man or the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Captain America and others? We all love reading the comics from our childhood. Maybe it helps us remember the easy times in our lives.</p>
<p>Martin Goodman started this company years ago and it was called Timely Publications at that time. It was created by a man named Martin Goodman.</p>
<p>The comic books that we love were made successful because people bought them. But, it is important to remember that they would not have gone anywhere if they did not have a story. Some of the notable names among the creators include Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko.</p>
<p>The first comic hero that this company created was the Human Torch. He was a great success and people really enjoyed it.The first patriotically themed superhero was Captain America. He did just as well as the Torch, if not better.</p>
<p>There were so many different characters over the years that many of them may not even be remembered but in their time they were all successful and they made the company a lot of money. There were so many that became successful thanks to the work put in by many teams and advertisers that knew how to do their jobs well.</p>
<p>Take some time to think about just how successful many of these characters actually were and how they have continued to make their mark on society. That is why many of them were actually made into movies and you can watch them come to life in the movie theater.</p>
<p>Marvel comics is based in New York and they are still successful today as they have theme parks and video games about their characters. Their largest rival has always been DC comics. They even lost several of their writers as they left and formed their own company which is called Image comics. But, they continue to please their fans and make their characters come to life so that people can enjoy them for years to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were to look at the architectural designs of temples or cathedrals of many, many years ago, then you may notice the entrance ways actually appeared to &#8220;frame&#8221; the interior of the building. </p>
<p>Once people starting framing pictures in order to hang them on their walls, it was done much like those early designs. Capturing the elaborate appearance was done by placing plaster that had been molded and painted, or gilded, over a plain, wooden base. Soon afterwards, people decided to begin framing art with <a href="http://www.thephotographyshack.com/picture_frames.html" target='_blank'>metal picture frames</a> by molding painted plaster onto a plain wooden base.</p>
<p>The wood picture frame made its more formal debut after being laboriously carved by artists in order to display their art rather than relying on plaster to enhance the frames. </p>
<p>They became more ornate as the artists would embellish them by using the materials that were available, such as gold and silver. </p>
<p>By that time, the frames were almost as highly regarded as the artwork they bordered and many times were as expensive as the art itself. </p>
<p>The design of the picture frames actually reflected the personal inspirations of the different furniture makers and wood carvers that sometimes resulted in the frames becoming very expensive.</p>
<p>By the 18th century new picture framing equipment was developed that helped to significantly reduce the amount of time needed to make a frame. However, some feel that these types of innovations caused the cheapening of frames, as they could be produced more quickly and with low cost materials. </p>
<p>Many frame makers began using molds that they filled with wood composite in order to stretch the amount of picture framing equipment needed. Many of the traditional artisans continued to produce a more custom picture frame that was carved from high quality wood by hand. </p>
<p>But, with the automated technological advances being made, it soon became clear that producing them by machine rather than hand was far less expensive and time consuming.</p>
<p>Of course, if you look hard enough you will find that there are some wood picture frames that are still carved in the traditional manner by hand. If you are looking for a silver picture frame, then a good place to start is at arts and crafts fairs. </p>
<p>Many times there will be a booth set up by the seller to not only sell <a href="http://www.thephotographyshack.com/picture_frames.html" target='_blank'>picture framing equipment</a>, but to allow you to watch one being carved. </p>
<p>You can find handmade picture frames at arts and crafts fairs as well, and quite possibly the seller has a booth set up so that you can watch him carve a frame in the traditional manner of earlier times.</p>
