DSD Flair Tutorial

   We have Flair for your Facebook page for Digital Scrapbooking Day! 

Thanks to Mary Canavan for this tuturial on How to Put Flair on Your Facebook Page.  She's brilliant!

You can also just download the DSD button and use it on your blog or website.

I made the DSD Flair using FxFoto so I thought I would share a little tutorial on that too in case you want to make your own Flair.

Flair are buttons which are really easy to make.  Facebook will take your design and make it look like a button so all you need to do it create it and upload it.

First start a new collage and make 140 pixels bu 140 pixels.  To do this click on the New button in the upper left corner.  Now choose New Collage Wizard.  Select Multi-photo Collage (Scrapbook Page).  Now look at the screen below - choose Custom Page and set it for 140 x 140 pixels.  Then click Finsh.

Pick your background, add text and whatever.  You will want to make your background round so you will need to crop your papers in a circle.  To do that, click on the Crop button and choose the Pull or Adjust Oval Crop Area.  To make a perfect circle click on the Fixed Rope Aspect and from the drop menu choose 1.000 (Square).  This will give you a perfect circle.  Now crop the paper by clicking on the Crop Image button.

Once you are done save your image as a jpeg by clicking on Save Image As and put it in a folder for safe keeping.  Go to Facebook and open the Make Flair wizard.  For the add image part, browse to your created Flair and upload it.

Now go make some Flair and don't forget to send me some!  Would you like the DSD Flair?  Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will be happy to send it to you!  Enjoy!

DSD on Facebook

As you no doubt know, Facebook is a social networking site - a sort of virtual community.  Certainly we've had chat rooms and message boards for some time now but Facebook seems better at mimicking a neighborhood of friends.  For one thing, you can restrict who sees your posts and that feels a lot safer than message boards where anyone can read what you have written. And the photos and writing walls seem much friendlier than a message board. 

I'm new to Facebook and unfortunately my resident Facebook consultant is off at college so I am forced to learn this on my own - gasp! Anyway last year we didn't really use this technology for DSD but this year there are all sorts of things on Facebook.

For general information about DSD Events, there is the Digital Scrapbooking Day festival page that Jennafer Martin set up.  Great place to check and see what is happening. And with over 200 digiscrappers who have already joined, it will be hopping on DSD for sure. If you are on Facebook please join us! It should be a wonderful way to share our DSD LOs! 

Shabby Pickle Designs is hosting a holiday party on Facebook on November 1st.  According tothe DSD thread on their website they have over 100 people for their DSD party - including yours truly.   Wow, how cool is that? 

Anyone else hosting something on Facebook?  Let me know at seswhite AT gmail DOT com!
