4 Translations done and lots of new stationery

I've got 4 translations done for you, that's right, a whopping 4 of them! LOL
2 of Duchessa's beautiful blends and 2 of Futura's cute animated tags.
I finished them for the most part during the summer while on my trip and then just didn't have the energy to get them online, but feeling guilty here, so thought I'd get them done!
Stationery to match is also done and online, wallpaper coming next.

Here are some small examples of the tutorials and the links.
You can't see it here, as blogger (for me anyway) doesn't show the animation, but they're all animated, but you can do them either way. I did!
Gold (Duchessa)

Love Blend (Duchessa)

And I'll Love You Always (Futura)

Don't Stop The Music (Futura)

Hugs, Ellie

New translation uploaded-scrap tag

I've just added a new translation from Steffi's Tutorials, called Greetings, a scrap tag.

Here's a small example.

I hope you like it!

I've also agreed to translate for Grafica di Duchessa, an Italian site, so look for those as soon as I get one done. If you go to her site, don't worry about the little popup window. It's only to ask you to vote, so just either say ok to vote or cancel to close the window. Nothing will happen.
We'll be gone camping for 5 weeks, from the end of July to the end of August, so you won't see any updates from me during that time, but I'll be doing translations on my laptop while I'm gone so I hope to have quite a bit to share with you when I get home again. Have a great week!

New translated tutorials, more link corrections, thanks from me

Hi everyone. I've just added two new translations for PSP. One is a scrap tag called Romantic Scrap by Jet of PSP Tutorials by Jet,
here is a small example:

The other is a scrap tag as well, called Grungy Elegance by Lien of X-Clusive Designz
Here is a small example:

Lien has also changed her site address for those that lost track of where it went, and also Marynez of PSPIArtes has just changed her site address. Click on the links in their site names here to get to their new sites. The addresses have been fixed in their index pages on my site as well as each translated tutorial.
I still have a few more translations that are nearly done to work on. We are going to visit family later this week for a couple of days, but I'll get them done as soon as possible.
I've also found out from some site visitors that FontLoader, mentioned in my Managing Fonts tutorial, is no longer at the link I provided. I went and checked and it is there, but it's incorporated into another freeware program there called ShellTools. I've corrected the link to download that program. It's a fantastic program and I use it daily.
I want to take this opportunity to thank those who so generously have donated to my site over the past couple of years. I have bought a membership for a tutorial site I love, called Carolaine and Sensibility, which I mentioned before, and just recently bought a number of tubes so I can freely use them without worrying that I'll have to remove the tutorials or stationery and wallpaper later. And I'm saving enough of it to help pay for my website renewal and domain name renewal when they come due. I really appreciate those of you who have helped me out with this. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Even those that can donate just a dollar, it all helps me tremendously. I'm retired on a disability so I have no other income of my own coming in, so you can understand how much this helps.
Till next time, keep smiling! Makes people wonder what you've been up to! LOL

New translation from new tutorial writer to my site

An Italian tutorial writer, Futura, asked me to translate her tutorials into English and they are beautiful! I've just done my first one for her, a Father's Day one called Festa del Papà.
Here's a small example:

I've included extra words with the tutorial so you can make it without a date on it, to use in other years. I've also included the font I used in case you want to make your own words for it. If you head to her site to see her tutorials, they are password protected, so you'll have to write her for the password. Or you can wait and see them here. LOL
I have a few stationery and wallpaper to make, I've done the headers, just have to get around to making the rest of the parts, such as backgrounds, etc. and get them assembled and uploaded. I hope to have that done soon.
Hubby wanted to go camping this weekend, sprung it on me as a surprise, and I was glad he changed his mind as it's still a bit chilly and we aren't really prepared yet. We are heading to the Toronto Zoo tomorrow, my health has improved enough with all of the weight loss (68 pounds so far) that I can do all the walking (it's huge)! Woohoo!!
I still can't eat many solid foods and I see another surgeon on June 5th to see what the problem is, as my original surgeon was extremely rude and unpleasant about helping me out. Apparently, the only thing he wants to hear from me is that I'm fine. Anything else is either ignored or criticized (after 6 months of no solid foods, apparently I'm being "too impatient", even though I was supposed to be able to eat solids after one month. Does that make sense? No, not to me either LOL).
Enough about me, at least I'm a lot healthier and continuing to improve in health all the time. Thanks to Atkins Protein shakes and bars (a little plug for my favorites). Have a great weekend everyone!

Second update today: 16 new links to English PSP Tuts-Great Beginnings page

New translation-With Love Scrap Tag

I've got a new translation up, one of Marian's scrap tag tutorials, called With Love and it's for PSP.
Here's a small example:

I have some new stationery and wallpaper to upload today and I'm working on adding a new Mother's Day-Father's Day section to both the stationery and desktop wallpaper sections. I'm hoping to have it done later today. So hopefully, this won't be the last of me you see today! LOL Have a great one!

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!
Hugs, Ellie

February Desktop Calendars, new Translated Tutorial, new stationery and desktop wallpaper

Hi everyone. I'm having a little bit of problems in my recovery from surgery but I'm back in gear and hopefully can start bringing you new stuff regularly again. And I have new stuff for you today! Desktop calendars, a new translated tutorial, stationery and wallpaper!
I have 2 desktop calendars ready for you for February. The previews can be used as mini calendars as well. Hopefully I'll have some blinkie calendars and scrap calendars for March when the time comes, I'm getting into the swing of things slowly.
For the tutorial translation, I translated Scrap Valentina created by Violettegraphic. I also created matching stationery and desktop wallpaper, both with a Valentine theme and without so you can use it all month if you like.
Example of the new tutorial:

New Stationery New Wallpaper
I'm revamping my Love & Romance stationery page as the page itself is old and the stationery on it is old, and they're not converted to OE yet, so I'm refreshing the look of the stationery and page as well. I'm working on that right now and hope to have it done today or tomorrow. I hope to be back within a few days with more stuff!
Have a great week.

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!

Have a great day!

New Translated tut-new permissions to translate-stationery fixed

I've received permission to translate the tutorials of Lamiagrafica so the tutorial Autunno (Autumn) I translated a couple of weeks ago is now uploaded. I made a mistake and asked the wrong person and Isa from Lamiagrafica wrote 2 days ago to let me know I had made a mistake, so all is well now. I've had the matching wallpaper and stationery uploaded for 2 weeks now but the stationery has the wrong info in the footer to credit the original writer and to add the link to my translation, so if you got it before, if you could please go and replace it with the corrected copy? Thanks. New Stationery
Here's a small preview of the tutorial

I have also been requested by a Dutch writer, Riet Kuisters, to translate her tutorials and I agreed. And of course Grafica Paola that I mentioned 2 weeks ago. I will hopefully be up to translating a number of tutorials from all of my ladies as soon after surgery (Nov 22) as I am recovered somewhat. I am translating for 13 writers now so I have many, many beautiful tutorials to choose from.
The index page for all of the writers I translate for is here.
It links to each writer's index page and also lists the home site of each writer.

Have a great day!

New translated scrap tag tutorial

I've uploaded a scrap tag translation called I Love Shopping by Luna of Secret of Luna, who's given me permission to translate her tutorials. It's adorable.

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

I've also uploaded more New Stationery and New Wallpaper, made from these tutorials and extra wallpaper to coordinate.
