Wow...long time no post
I have been rather busy with studying for the bar exam (again) and buying a house and working and, well, life in general.
I haven't had time to create anything lately. I will post here two little charms I made a while ago, intending to create a kit around them but never quite getting there. Maybe in the future! To download the charm, right click on the image to open it in a new page and "save as" a .png file!

Anyhow, enjoy! As always, I would love to see your pages! Sign the guestbook below where you can upload your pages to this site!

New Scrapbookers Helper
I discovered a new website today and it is a fantastic little helper!
I know, when I am doing a scrapbook page, I often am overwhelmed by the colors out there. Which will look best with my picture? Does pink and red go together? This ribbon looks okay but is it the right color?
NEVER FEAR
Color help is here.
Scrap By Color is a great new site to help you with your palate woes. Just upload the picture you want to scrap and it will compile a color palate for you. It provides you with 20 colors that look nice with your picture. If you see one that suits your mood, click it and on the right side of the screen it will show you monochrome, complimentary, triadic, analogous, and split comp. color suggestions.
This is a miracle site and a lot of fun to play with. I am sure we will all be chosing better colors now for our scrapbook pages...spread the beauty!

QPs for Cuties!
I finished the bar exam yesterday. For those of you who don't know, it's a two day exam. The first day is three hours of essays, lunch and three hours of essays. Day two is three hours to answer 100 multiple choice, lunch and three hours of multiple choice.
Needless to say I was wound up. I cried after the first day and almost threw up the second day. It was miserable. It's over now.
Because of the bar, I have been less than creative the past few weeks. So, I decided to post a few quick pages I have made over the years. I have never posted them here...I think. Enjoy and remember...show me your layouts! I have a layout guestbook at the bottom of the page or you can just throw me a link to follow!
Thanks!

How did you do that?
Here is another tutorial for you!
You can make these cute wooden shapes for your page. Make an alphabet, wordart, a frame, or whatever you want!
This tutorial will be in paint.net but you can use photoshop and get the same effect.
Here is a frog and a fairy for you that I made so you can see what the final project will look like. To use these two wood blocks just click the image, right click and save as a .png file!
Prepare:
3. outline the object with a neutral brown color for wood or a silver color for brushed metal. You can outline the same shape or do a circle or square around the object. This will be your wooden base.
4. Add noise to the wooden base
5. Select the image and add motion blur at an angle. You want to specifically select the wooden base so when you apply the motion blur the base will stay the same shape.
6. Bevel the bottom layer using the bevel plug-in
On the top layer: (paint)
7. add noise to the object then add motion blur like you did above.
8. To get the faded or scratched paint effect use the jitter plug-in (menu: effects, distort, jitter). Play with it until you are happy with the look.
9. bevel the top layer
I hope this was helpful.
THANKS!

Prepare:
- open an object in paint.net. It should be a solid colored object.
- duplicate the layer so you have two layers with the same object.
- make sure you have downloaded and installed the bevel, jitter, motion blur, and outline plug-ins from the paint.net forum.
3. outline the object with a neutral brown color for wood or a silver color for brushed metal. You can outline the same shape or do a circle or square around the object. This will be your wooden base.

Layout Alert
Grab some inspiration and a booger and take a look at my latest page! I love the quote and the picture is my son digging for gold. I made the background paper using brushes in photoshop and the confetti is made in photoshop by crystalizing streaks of color. The heart and flowers are from The Scrapping Tree and the stars are from Scrapbook Flair designer kits!

You, Me, and Tennesee!
My husband bought a neused car. Yes, another neused vehicle. This is his toy car though. We drove all the way to Knoxville TN to pick it up from a very nice UPS driver who was selling it. Car enthusiasts...tisk tisk...such an expensive hobby. Anyhow, I took a picture of my husband with his new car. It was a beautiful trip. The mountains in between PA and TN are just amazing and if you ever get to go to Gatlinburg I suggest you go. Just wonderful!
For this page I used my travel kit. I know I have it posted in this blog. I used a road map on TN of the area we were in, Knoxville. Grab this kit if you like it!
