2 more Quick Pages

I did some more QP's today while trying to stay down and not cause contractions.

Valentines page

I finally got another page done! It is simple but I really like it. I scraplifted it from another page I saw somewhere.....

A bit of what I've been doing.

I HAVE been scrapping. Some of it is for the CT (I was given one more month to play); most are for challenges. Here they are - in no particular order.

These 2 are from the kit, Urban Solitude. Find the credits here

and here. These are for Franziska Altmann's CT, but this one is also for a template challenge at Scrap Orchard.

This was for a speed scrap last night at Sunshine Studio Scraps. Credits are here.

I did this one today. It is for an Apple Cart challenge at SO. Credits here.

And this one was from last week's challenge at Sunshine Studios. It won LO of the day! (I was so excited to win something...even if it was only recognition.) Credits here.

So you see that I have been doing things. I was just saving them up to post once instead of flooding the blog. There are some others, but maybe you can just see them at the two websites I gave links for. (If you want.)

Just a couple pages...

Here are a few pages that I've been working on. I'm trying to get done with all the MILLIONS of pictures that my mom and I took while they were here visiting this past summer. It will take me years.

How to Make a Brush in PS7

This is how I made my name brush for my photographs.

I have had some questions on how to make it so here is the info.....

Making your brush:

Make something.....

1. Open your file in Photoshop.

2. Select Edit, Define Brush Preset.

3. Type in a name for your new brush.

4. Hit OK.

Now it will be the last brush in your list of brushes. You can change the color and size of it the same as the other brushes.

I'm here...sort of.

I have been out of town for a week and listening to Conference this weekend. I AM here, but no time to update my blog right now. I made all these pictures this afternoon/evening. We're making a photo book for Chad's brother who is serving his 2nd or 3rd? tour in Iraq. We have to mail it to his sister this week so she can mail it this weekend for Christmas! Talk about planning ahead! Anyway...just a peek at where I've been. I'll have more time in the next day or two!

David and Kaitlyn

Ok you all have to check my blog often this weekend. I am editing photo's like crazy and need comments on them. Here is my latest edited one.

Adobe Lightroom

after

I downloaded a trial of Lightroom. It is cool! But there is a lot to learn. I hope to learn and play enough with it in the 30 days that I have it. Here is what I did with it today. I will do a lot more tomarrow. Amy and I went on a photo shoot today with our kids.
