Hack of the Week No.112


Making Memories Frame - Beach theme

Summer has just begun so there is no better time than the present to get working on a vacation inspired frame to display your special memories in.  Swap out the starfish for another model to make a specially themed frame for any picture or occasion!

"Making Memories"

This picture frame layout was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Monotype Corsiva


Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8.5 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8.5 or VCarve Desktop V8.5.


Celtic rosettes for a window trim 

This Hack of the Week was inspired by a set of four celtic rosettes and a starfish themed hack that Don Harding sent in.  

The celtic rosettes use models from the Celtic Frame No.1 and would look great around a window or door.  

The starfish panel uses a model from the new Panel No.1 - Flowers project and the starfish from the Under the Sea No.1 project.  It would look great as a rosette or as a bit of wall decor at your cottage or by the pool.   

Thanks Don for sharing and inspiring us!!!

One Possible Layout

"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. 
I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.  ~ Abraham Lincoln"

Abraham Lincoln may be a prominent figure in US history but that quote is true to just about any place in the world.  This is our first installment of our Around the World series of projects.  Each project will contain models that we hope will help you to reflect your pride in the place you live, or call home, in you finished projects.

When you think of the USA it can't be helped to think of the US flag with its stars and stripes.  Also the eagle has long been a symbol of freedom and nothing says freedom like the United States of America.  Using the other models in this project you are sure to be able to create the perfect layout to show your pride in your home land.
