Photoshop Fun

July 31, 2008

So, I’ve been experimenting with something.  I’m a self-proclaimed addict to youtube videos that showcase people’s talents in Photoshop through the wonders of time-lapsing.  And then I thought ‘hey, I want to try one’.  So armed with various freewares from the net, I started out on this journey and I have to say, it’s an addiction in of itself.  I will post a video of my attempt (unfinished) in a moment, but first I have this to ask:

I have no idea how many people view this blog – from the stats, I can see there are a few visitors.  If you guys want to humor my fickle inspiration, I will post all my attempts.  So give me ideas, and I shall try to sketch them out as complete as I can. :)

And here’s that attempt I was talking about:

Scrapbooking <3

July 28, 2008

So I’m a nut when it comes to scrapbooking.  I don’t actually make anything useful or complete.  I’m more the nut who’ll gather all the necessary equipment, tools and cardstock then stare at them for hours wondering what to do.

Now I am starting to get back into the game a bit, thanks in large by this woman: http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/ – she makes the most adorable cards, and makes it look so easy!  Don’t be fooled, it isn’t easy to make these types of cards, and specially not to make them LOOK as easy as she does.

So tonight, I will swallow my pride and try to garner a small percentage of my creative talent toward making A card.  Give me a pencil, a brush and a blank canvas, and I might grind out something half-decent.  But scrapbooking has always seem like SUuuuuch an overwhelming hill to climb.  I promise a photo collection of my half-assed effort.  So you can laugh.  Or cry.  I promise you’ll do one or the other.

BTW, Ms Werner is now in my blogroll for easy access.  I strongly suggest you go gasp at her stuff.
