Angled Photo Blocks in Memory Mixer
This tutorial works for My Memories too, the function boxes will just be on the other side of the screen.
Have you often admired those angled pages where all the photos are on a slant but then found out it was a Photoshop template? Well, you can make those page easily in Memory Mixer.
Here's the page I made. I used Britt-Ish Designs' Backyard Bliss.

Here's How You Do It
Remember to read ALL the instructions!!
STAGE 1
Open a new LANDSCAPE album:
STAGE 1
Open a new LANDSCAPE album:
Choose a photo template, preferably one that has the photos in a wide arrangement, and add your photos. You can just add photos one by one without a template but these pages tend to look better with them all lined up.
As you can see, I have a coloured background. Here's how you do that:
Select Background - Color. The choose Picker. This will enable you to match the colour to a colour in your photo. Or, you can just choose any colour you like BUT it must be a plain coloured background not a patterned or textured paper (most paper backgrounds that look plain are actually textured or patterned in some way).

Now SAVE this album as you've finished with this section. EXPORT the page as a jpeg at highest resolution.
This is the part of the page I'll send you to when you tell me on the Facebook group that you couldn't get this tutorial to work!!
STAGE 2
Open a new album, this time a square shape (or whatever shape you want the final page to be). Start a blank page and add a photo. The photo you're going to add is the page you just saved in Stage 1.
Crop it to remove spare background and use the Rotate slider to set it at an angle on the page. Drag the corners so it touches the side edges. Remember the angle you used (or write it down!).
Next we're going to add a shape. Go to Shapes - Add Shape and choose the rectangle:
Rotate the shape to the same angle as your photo and drag the grey squares on the corner of the shape until it covers the photo and overlaps it a little bit. It doesn't matter if part of the shape goes over the edge of the page.
Now slide it down again so you can see the background colour of the photo underneath. Click on Match Color and use the picker to choose the photo background colour. Then select the shape, right click and Send Backward.
The shape and photo will now look like one piece. Do NOT add a shadow to the photo or it will ruin the effect. You can add one to the coloured shape behind the photo if you want to.
Add more embellishments and a page background to finish your page. Ask on our Digi Scrapping Divas Facebook group if you need help.
