I am struggling with getting over a
learning curve-with PS elements 10! For Mother's Day I received a Mac Mini,
woohoo. It replaced our 10yr old pc(Kiela was a baby when we bought it)-that kept me hoping each time that I needed it today
wasn't the day it would crash! It was painfully slow, it wouldn't
boot-up at times...and it was the one I did my entire photo editing on with
CS3. Sadly with the new computer we couldn't afford to upgrade Photoshop CS:-(.
So I have to start all over with getting new actions and just learning the
basics again. I am so used to having everything saved as an action, woe is
me-poor me!! I don't miss that HUGE cpu;-P
Soooo, as I learn my way through
psElements I will share a couple of cards I did for the TCD DT blog last week.
Simple cards made with left over scraps from the Summer Stories line...
Even though we spent Saturday doing some serious(5mi, 2hr) hiking on a local Appalachian Trail-my calves are a bit sore! I did have some leftover energy to do a few cards.
Today I am the TCD's blogger and here is what I posted for today. There was no theme this week, so I went with doing more cards & tags-using my favorite pattern papers from the line. I really don't know how I have been able to scrap for so long w/o using a Big Kick, lol. I am TRULY addicted to my machine and dies. These projects have been done all with dies & embossing folders. The dies makes things look as if they were factory cut-and I have a ever growing wishlist of dies-"we want more, we want more";-P!
I spent some stime yesterday making this card & tag using more from the TCD Summer Stories line and a few new dies. I am kinda addicted to My Favorite Things Die-Namics now, I just purchased 6 of their dies(for starters;-)). And I love the Fancy Trellis Spellbinders die I used for the card background.
We call cilantro, coriander in Australia and I never have any luck growing it. My passion fruit, bananas,grapes, lemons, ect all grow well but they say that coriander is very hard to grow. If you have any luck with it let me know your method.
Joy, you have me nervous now! I had bought a cilantro plant when we first moved into our home-and it did AMAZING. Then we went on a vacation for a week, so no one was home to water it-it was gone when we came home. I bought the same plant TWICE and put it in the same place-both died. I have my fingers crossed that it will thrive on the deck...I will keep you posted!
Since it's turned into a rainy Sunday, I
thought I would update my blog-and then join LaVaughn in on taking an afternoon
nap! He is a bit whipped from being in the yard the last two days. We were
getting my deck garden started-so far we have cilantro, basil, rosemary, cherry
tomatoes and strawberries. It drives my crazy buying a huge bushel of cilantro
to make salsa; I waste 98% of it. I just wish I could have a lemon tree-we live on
fresh lemonade.
Friday, I made a card & some
tags with more of the new TCD's Summer Stories line-which of course I am
loving. And maybe I can entice you to love it too...
I just love a great graphic black and white pattern with pops of brights colors-and even some metallics thrown in! I had some time to spend making a few cards this weekend using up some leftover scraps.
.[TCD Friday blog project].
I was the blogger for Friday over at the TCD dt blog. I ended the week of 2 page layouts, it was nice to do a layout again. I used the Memories line for this page...
Keisha I needed that uplift and I knew where to go and get my fix. Your site has made my day. I showed an "expert" scrapper your site and she realized she was a newbie at the game. I giggled like a little schoolgirl. She was awe-struck. You know I love showing you off, I live vicarously through you girlfriend. Love everything you do....
Shay!! LOL, you are too kind! Hope you and the family are doing well. And are getting closer to heading back to the states. I don't know how you do it, miss ya!
Today is my blogging day on the TCD dt blog, and the theme for the week was home decor. I have had a busy week and had to rush home yesterday to do my project, sigh. This is another reason why I love my Big Kick-it is perfect for doing a FAST project! Especially when you are at a loss for ideas, doing something to be framed is a easy last minute project. Thank goodness I have extra frames on hand! This is seriously a 10 minute project, love that.
The gift box was done for the TCD dt blog last month-I forgot to post it on my blog. Both projects were made using the TCD Memories line.
I LOVE your cards. I always like your butterflies. Which die do you use for the large butterfly on the first card? I always have loved that one. Thanks and keep on inspiring us.
Opps, almost forgot your question...that yellow butterfly on the blk/wht thankful card was made with the Stampin Up Beautiful Butterflies die. I love it too!!
OMG!! I just discovered your blog and I'm blown away. Your work is simply gorgeous and your photography - well what can I say...stunning. I can't seem to get my camera to do what I want it to - time for some lessons, I think. Thank you so much for taking so much time and care when sharing your beautiful creations.
Hello Inky!! I am always glad to hear about someone discovering my blog, and enjoying it...THANKS! I wish I was better at photographing my family/people-that is where I need lessons!!
Hey Keisha, I came to email because I said, what's going on? I hadn't seen any updates, and there you were! Love the photos! can't wait to see them in the frames! Kiela is really growing! Say ruff to Lulu! Kathy
Time is ticking fast before the SU Sale-A-Bration is OVER-Friday March 22!! And then you won't be able to get that cool vine street embossing folder for free if you spend $50. Or a package of the clear vintage faceted buttons-like the one in the center of the butterfly free if you spend $50. Thanks for those who did make an order through Stella MacKay with my hostess code 6H22MY2G. I need to get my order in, we all just have until Friday March 22.
