Challenge & Inspiration for Lesson 1, Shaped Frame Cluster

Create an entirely different Shaped Frame Cluster scrapbook page just by changing the base shape.

NOTE: Please complete the lessons in the order they are provided.

Tips for completing this challenge:

Start with a new document.
For the base shape, try using a circle, square, or tree.
It doesn't have to be a shape layer. Anything that forms a recognizable large shape will do.
If your document's file size gets to be too large, apply my Mask/Apply Clipped Layer action to the clipped layer. NOTE: This action does not work on photos or papers that are clipped to a group.

REMINDER! TIPS for Shaped Frames Clusters

The Frames action will not work if you don't have the Patterns installed.
Unless you're going for an eclectic look, I recommend staying with the same frame pattern throughout your page.
When applying frames, start at the top of the base shape and work down.
Randomly overlap the frame groups (both vertically and horizontally), some with a lot of overlap and some with very little overlap.
Tilt just a few of the frames. Too much tilt adds chaos.
Leave spaces where the base shape shows through.
Do not keep the edges of the arranged frames smooth. They are meant to be jagged.
