Linky Party - Tuesday Technology Tip

I know I am breaking the posting one-a-day rule. 

I had to catch-up with Blog Hoppin'.

I am linking up all this week with Blog Hoppin'.

Technology Tip Tuesday

This is done with Pages on my MacBook Pro.

I found this little gem of a tool when I was making my banner for my classroom.

Be careful if you want to send these or upload these files. They become quite large.

First you start off with a text box. 

Put in whatever you are creating.

Next, bring up your "inspector" and go to the graphic button.

Click on Tinted Image Fill.

Choose the image you would like to "fill in" your text box.

TILE

ORIGINAL SIZE

STRETCH

SCALE TO FILL

SCALE TO FIT

Then if you want something around it, go to Stroke.

I really like to picture frames.

This is what mine ended up to be. So cute. I love the owl peeking in.

I hope this helps some of you to make some really interesting products.

I LOVE using this technique.

Have a wonderful day!
