Up Where They Belong

Here's a shot we took of the kids during our "tiptoe through the tulips" at Dow's Lake on Mother's Day. The tulips were AMAZING, and I did manage to get some good shots (amid the HUGE crowds) but thought I'd share the MOST beautiful things in my life...those who call me Mother.

(copyright info: the 3 papers and brad are from the Scrapper's Guide Travel Kit (Linda Sattgast) . I learned the folded corner technique from one of the Scrapper's Guide videos)

And just to clarify the picture in the last post...the tulips were from my Mother's garden, I took the photo's and made the collage.

I Love Tulips!

Scrapbooking Fun!

In my search for tutorials for Photoshop Elements I stumbled on the Scrapper's Guide website. I subscribed to their weekly tips and started to learn quite a few neat tricks. (even if it meant I had to leave the internet on overnight so I could download some of the videos!) Linda (the instructor) is very easy to follow and has a goldmine of knowledge!! They announced that they were producing a training DVD for latest edition of PSE and I immediately ordered it. I'm now getting even more of a sense of how powerful this program is, and how much I don't know...but am learning!!!! Here's my latest page. (I think if you click on the picture it should open up bigger in your browser) I love using the Sticker Edge technique that makes the words look like a sticker. The Puzzle pieces are just one of the MANY presets in PSE, a new world the DVD introduced me to. All I had to do was click and drag in the pictures, and could resize, zoom in, zoom out...amazingly powerful! And of course don't forget that I could pick my font colour from Shannon's pjs.
