hello! I hope you all are having a good start to the year! We are doing well so far, it is just going by so quickly already! Today I'm kicking off the 1st part in my Pixelab 101 series. In this series, I hope to teach you the basics of this app, how to use it for your scrapping needs, and some other tips and tricks along the way. Through my journey with app scrapping, I of course, started with Project Life. But little did I know, there is a whole world of apps out there that you can use to scrapbook. Unfortunately, some of these apps are only available on iPhones. So, as an android user, I had to find something that would allow me to expand my creativity and abilities. Cue PixelLab! This app has been great for building pages, adding embellishments to my PL pages, and a lot of other things. So, today I want to start with the basics. I'm going to teach you the basic commands and simple things like adding text to a photo. First, open up the app and click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner. This is where you will have a choice of commands. Select "use image from gallery"-this will be your background. Almost like the canvas if it were a painting. Once you pick a photo, you will resize it, flip it, rotate it, whatever you need to do to work with. You will see this replace the green square. The text will stay, so to edit it, make sure you tap it (you will want the box around it, and then select the pencil down in the bottom left. From there a text box will pop up and you can type whatever you want. I have learned that if I'm doing a large body of text, I will actually break it into a few sections. It's just easier to work with that way. To start editing your text, you can select any of the commands at the bottom of the screen. Just swipe left or right to see all of them. You can change the color, font, rotate, whatever. What I like about this app is all the choices. You can even select specific sections of the text and change it without changing all of it. I chose AprilFatFace for this text. You can even upload your own text into the app. I cover that here. 3D text and mirrored text.
Ok, that's our first lesson! Hope you enjoyed it and try out this app! What apps do you use to supplement your app scrapping? Peace, Anne
