Amore

Last Fall I took Ashley and David to the Greenbelt along Indian Creek and took a few photo’s of them.    The colors were so pretty that day.
I created a 24x12 layout.  Then cut it into 2- 12x12 pieces for printing.  This layout took me about 2 hours.  There are alot of layers.  Whew!  I think it turned out great!   Of course it helps to have good subjects!

Kuler

Have you ever checked out the Kuler site? I mentioned it a couple of posts back..
It is a great tool for choosing a color combination. I love using it when creating cards and scrap pages.

You can also use it for creating digital scrapbook pages and pulling in colors.

When you open up the page. Click on your favorite color combo and a strip of color squares will appear across the top. I clicked on Haiti Relief.



You can then click on the on the top strip of colors and the entire screen will fill in with these colors.



Click on your Print Screen button when you decide your color choice.
I use PhotoShop Elements.  I open it up, then to create a new file, I select New - Image from clipboard. Save this as a JPG file. When Creating a new scrap page or other art project; when trying to recolor an image, brush or element, you can match to the perfect color choice..



You can search themed color combo's.  Type in Flowers in the search box and see what you get.    If you're really adventurous,  you can create your own color combo's by using the color wheel provided or upload an image that you love... To do this, click on the Create button to the left.     What a powerful tool!    Ooo La La!  My heart is a flutter!

Sing….. Sing a Song

I’ve been making Valentines all morning..  I think over the last two weeks I’ve made about 50…   Time for a change.

I decided to make a Digital Scrap page.  This one has a lot of layers.   Whew…   I finally completed it.    I learned all of these techniques from Jessica Sprague’s classes. 

These pictures are from our family Christmas party….  2009.

Check out Adobe’s Kuler site.   They have great color combo’s and you can use these when re-coloring elements or brushes on your digital pages.

I Love You Deerly

I love the colors in this BoBunny paper!   Reds, pinks, greens and blues.  

Do you still hand out Valentines to your Family and Friends?    If you don’t,  Why not?   I’m still  just a kid at heart!   And I have Love for everyone.  Friends, Family, Neighbors.

The English language only has one word for Love.   Other Languages have  many.    There are different levels of love.   Love for a Spouse.  Love for a child.  Love for a Parent. Love for a Friend.  Love for a stranger.  Love for a possession.  All with different meanings.    I know…  You’re probably thinking I’m Nutts!   I don’t mind though….

Go to your favorite craft store and buy some Valentines paper and make some Valentines for the one’s you love :)
