Updates-new desktop wallpaper (3), new OE and IM stat, new shirts for Abstract Weasel

I got a chance to play today! Woohoo. I did a tutorial just for fun, a very pretty one I saw at Mel's Design yesterday, called A Moment of Grace. I've made stationery (IM and OE, as usual) and desktop wallpaper. There's a screenshot of the wallpaper to the left. I've also made a background wallpaper (one without the middle tag) and one that says My Desktop as well, the usual 3 I make.

Mel is having trouble with her supplies folder so you have to email her (her address is on her site) for the supplies, or you can email me, she has given me permission to distribute the supplies for this tutorial.

This tutorial is super simple, just copy and paste. But isn't it pretty?

Tami also has 3 new shirts on her Abstract Weasel page. The "Gangsta" and "Gangsta Girl" shirts have been flying off of her virtual shelves so I asked her to send me screenshots to show you.

I'm off to read a book, a great one by Lisa Unger called "Sliver of Truth". Have a great day!

Updates-Scrap tag tutorial, stationery, desktop wallpaper, Abstract Weasel shirts

I have one of Marian's (of Marian's PSP-Lessen) scrap tutorials translated, one called Faith. The tag is featured to the left here. I loved the wallpaper made with this one so much I made 5 different versions, ones with just borders and then ones with ribbons and flowers embellishments. One featuring the tag, and the rest have no tag in the middle. I used a combination of the grungy green plaid and the cream colored floral to make the wallpaper. Also, new stationery to match, of course!
New Stationery New Wallpaper
I want to remind you that if you go to any of the tutorial writer's sites that I translate for, and you see one you'd like me to do, let me know and I'll take it under consideration. I did this one because one of my site visitors requested it. Some of the other's I've done were a request by a site visitor as well. You can find an index page with all of the writer's home sites linked here.
Tami also has 2 new shirt designs that are shown on her Abstract Weasel page. The ones I feature here are only a small selection of what she actually has so go take a look at her site. You'll love what she has. Shirts for every taste!

Update-Abstract Weasel Clothing, also email replies or lack thereof

Tami has a new shirt on her Abstract Weasel page. Check it out! I love her stuff. Once I get skinny (and I will!) I want to buy lots of her shirts. My favorite is the one that says "I didn't say it was your fault . . .I said I was gonna BLAME YOU". Cracks me up, I have to have that shirt. I also want to buy, and wear just for hubby, "Don't look at me in that tone of voice!". I want so many of her shirts I'm gonna make her rich!
I want to apologize if you have written and I didn't reply. I receive tons of email (about 80% of it is spam GRRRRRR) and sometimes after going through the spam and other junk and getting rid of it, email getting filtered into different folders, etc I may put the email aside to answer later if it requires more than a couple of words to reply or it needs some research to answer, then either lose it or completely forget. I'm not meaning to be rude. I do have a memory problem due to some medical issues but I really want to answer your email. If you don't hear back from me in a week or so, then write again. I may have either not received the email at all or it got deleted with the junk or misplaced, or completely forgotten. Feel free to ask again, I don't mind!
I have also added my email address in the left column. I realized I should do that after looking in vain for a way of contacting the writer of another blog and realized you would have the same problem with me.
Have a super day! 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!

New items on Abstract Weasel, new scrap freebie on Ingrid's page

Tami has 5 new shirts on her Abstract Weasel clothing page. Check 'em out! Right at the top. I have also just added a new scrap element for Ingrid on her page, Ingrid Scrap Designs. Again, right at the top.

New scrap freebie from Ingrid, new shirt in Abstract Weasel, making a scrap kit

I've just added another new scrap design from Ingrid on her page. I've also added another shirt design to my daughter's page, Abstract Weasel. In both pages, I've added the new item to the top to make them easier to find. I'm in the middle of creating my first scrap kit, what a job! I'm learning a lot though as so far I haven't used any tutorials, I'm making them up on PhotoImpact as I go along. I'll let you know when I'm done. It's huge so I may give away a piece, or a few pieces, a day on my blog when it's ready. I'll be doing another translation soon. I've had a few requests for more Jetje tuts so I'll do one of hers next. Have a great day everyone!

Update-new scrap freebies-shirts-tutorial almost done

Hi everyone: another update for me. I've just added a new section to the site, digital scrapbooking freebies from Ingrid Scrap Designs. She didn't have a site so I offered to host it for her. Her page is here.
Also, Tami has added 2 new shirt designs to her Abstract Weasel page, check that out here. They are the two at the bottom of the page.
I'm almost done translating a very nice scrap tag tutorial from Violette. Hopefully that will be ready tomorrow. I'll let you know.
That's about it for today!
Take care!

Update-my daughter's new clothing line and news re a translation

I've just added a page featuring my daughter Tami's clothing line. T-shirts, hoodies, tanks tops, camisoles, sweatshirts. With her designs on the front, some funny, some sarcastic, some inspirational. A large variety for all moods in all sizes. I won't be selling them, she has her own site for that. I just wanted to show them to you so you can see for yourself the great work and maybe buy some from her! They are very reasonably priced. Her page is here. Her site, called Abstract Weasel, is here.
Don't worry, I'm not turning into a commercial site. But when your kids do something that you are so proud of, you have to share it. My other daughter is writing a children's book that's just wonderful. I'll share that news with you as well when she's done. It's like the Harry Potter line of books. Fantastic, if I say so myself! She's also an artist so she will be illustrating the book herself.
I'm losing weight and I fully intend to buy some when I get to my goal.
I'm almost done converting the translated scrap tutorial called "Life's Journey" to the other programs. I finished PS, now have to check that out in PSE, and then do the PI version. If I don't get distracted, I hope to have it done today. I'll post when it's done. Have a stupendous day!
