------------------------------ Today we have a video tutorial to share with you from Guest Designer Lynne Forsythe featuring our June Limited Edition kit!

Here's Lynne:

"I was so HONORED to be asked to join My Creative Scrapbook this month as a Guest Designer. I had the opportunity to work with the Limited Edition Kit.
....and here is this months sketch!
I just love sketches as they are a great jumping off point...
a place for creativity to begin....
and can be followed as loosely a wished.
Here is my take on this month’s sketch....
I drew my inspiration from the circle in on the sketch.
....and all the little goodies in the kit,
What GREAT accents!!
I cut the numbers out of one of the sheets in the Limited Edition Kit.

I created a video for you to see just how I created my the circle, which is the backdrop for this layout!

Using a white screen/wall & programs other than Photoshop for digital photo backgrounds.?

I'm trying to get into digital portrait taking, for family first, then perhaps later as a business if I get really good at it. I've found great deals on digital backgrounds & already have a decent camera. The problem is that I can't afford the blue/green screens, the lighting sets, OR Photoshop. Can I use white screen and Gimp for now, until I can afford better? Are the digital backgrounds out there(free or not)able to be used if the picture's taken against a white or light background? And are there any digital background sets that can be used with programs OTHER than Photoshop or Paint…

A white background & Gimp will be fine but the one thing you've failed to mention is lighting! Do you have any off camera flash (speedlight or studio lights?). Because if not - you WILL need some!

You can start with cheap manual speedlights, some radio triggers and a softbox or umbrella. But don't jump ahead & worry about backgrounds until you've got the lighting right - it's the most crucial part.

I suggest if you're new to off camera flash, you read the Strobist blog;

In this tutorial, he uses a "vector stock photo" as his main image...
I would like to use an image of a guitar,
but I cant just get one from google without it having a white background or something.

So what am i doing wrong?
is a vector simply an image with no white…

First let me define vector image first it is an image drawn in shapes and lines, called paths. Images created in Illustrator and Freehand (graphic design software) on his yes you can used a guitar.. but on your problem all you have to do, is erase the background of the guitar and you will be right. ☺
