Update-new tutorial, desktop calendar

I have a new tag tutorial, a scrap tag called To Love . . .
Here's a small example

This tutorial can be done in any graphics program, including PSP, PhotoImpact, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, any version.
I didn't make the matching stationery or wallpaper yet as I wanted to get the tutorial uploaded for Valentine Day, it's this Friday already! I'll be working on the stationery and wallpaper and get it up soon. I'll announce it here when I have it ready. I also put one more desktop calendar up. I'm still working on my Valentine and Love & Romance stationery and wallpaper pages and I'm adding what I've done as I go along. I've written two more tutorials, one for Fiesta Strip stationery and one for Stacked Border stationery, but don't have them ready to upload yet. Soon, I promise!

I am having surgery tomorrow morning and if all goes well, I'll be out of the hospital in just a few days. So if you write and I don't respond, I'm still in the hospital or not quite recovered yet. Have a great week everyone!

2 new tutorials-blend tag and stationery/background tile

I've translated a new tutorial by Violettegraphic, called Blend Rencontre for PSP. Here's a small preview:

I've also just uploaded my new stationery/tile tutorial called Exploding Clouds. Here are small previews. It can be done in any graphics program.


Have a super weekend!

Update-2 translated PhotoImpact blend tag tuts-new wallpaper and new stationery

I've translated two PhotoImpact tutorials from Violettegraphic. Both blend tags and gorgeous! Blend Alyséa

and Blend Lorianne.

Although these tutorials are for PhotoImpact, they would be extremely easy to do in other programs. I've converted the PhotoImpact files to psd files that can be opened in any program, so give it a try!
I've also uploaded more New Stationery and New Wallpaper, made from these tutorials and extra wallpaper to coordinate.

New page on site - List of scrapbooking element tutorials

I almost forgot to tell you about this. I've added a new feature to my site, mainly to help my Scrapbook Challenge group but I'll share it with all of you as well. This is a list of Scrapbooking tutorial links, not tutorials I've written but tutorials I've found on the Internet, for PSP, PhotoImpact and Photoshop/Photoshop Elements. I'll add to it as time permits. It's called Scrapbooking Tutorial Links. How original is that?? LOL Check it out, maybe you'll find some new tuts. This is a list of links to specific tutorials. If you want a list of links to Scrapbooking tutorial sites, check out my Great Beginnings page.

Update-new stationery/background tutorial Radial Lace

I've just finished a stationery/background tutorial that can be done in any program. It's called Radial Lace and here's a small preview:

There's 2 New Stationery and 2 New Wallpaper to match as well.
I've finished translating 3 of Marijke's tutorials and 1 of Violette's. They are for 2 frames, 1 blend tag and 1 regular tag. I'm just waiting for the okay back from the writers and then I'll link them to the site. Lots of nice stationery and desktop wallpaper to match the tutorials as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to share the links for them soon. The tutorial I wrote today is actually one that came about when I needed a stationery background for the Violettegraphic tag. Have a great night!

Update-new background tile tutorial

I have a new background tutorial that can be done in any graphic program called Crystal Lace Tile. This can even be done in any free program that allows 3rd party filter use, such as IrfanView. I like the subtle backgrounds that can be used often for just about anything and not clash and this fits the bill quite nicely. I did not have to make a separate tutorial for all of the programs as this is so simple it wasn't needed. Another thing I like about this background is that it can be greatly optimized and still look good. Depending on the color used and the variations you use, they all turn out different.
See the examples above.

I have 4 more translations done in text format and will be assembling them this week and making all of the goodies such as stats and wallpaper to go with each one. I also have 3 more of my own tutorials in the works. Lots of new stuff coming your way! Have a super day!

Take care! Hugs, Ellie

Update-New scrap blend tag tutorial, new stationery, wallpaper, new shirts

I have a few updates for you. I've finished my new Scrap Blend tutorial, called This Little Light. You can find the links to it here for the various programs. I've written it for PSP, PhotoImpact, Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. There's a small screenshot to the left of the finished tag.

As you will see, I'm making a few changes to my site navigation. Easier for me and less pages to work on. When you follow the link I gave for the tag tutorial, you will see that I have one Tag Index page now and under each screenshot of the tut is a link to each individual program it's written for. I think this will be much better. It's a lot of work to change this around so I'll be working on it slowly. For now, the Tag Tutorial pages are done. I have stationery and wallpaper uploaded that matches this new tutorial. Check them out here: New Wallpaper New Stationery

My daughter Tami also has a couple of new shirts on her Abstract Weasel clothing page.

Have a super day everyone!
