WeekEnd

One of my All time Favorite Designers is Rick Evans over at Scrapadilly.com
He has this great little kit as a freebie called Perspective on his Blog .. Here




This is one of my favorite photos! It didn't get scrapped before since there was an annoying EXTRA in the back ground. Playin around with PSE , I finally got that fixed.. see below:

Isn't that KOOL!! The eye dropper gave me the color for the back ground..the brush tool let me cover up the Extra person.. The clone tool would be used for more detailed backgrounds such as outdoor shots.. Clone, copy & past onto a new layer.. then merge. If only My Granny could see all this Technology!! She'd be so into it, too!

Off to find a bite to eat.. meds are kickin in. Took my Airborne for the ickies that DD#2 passed along to me. Then rest up a before getting a load of laundry done. Just overly tired and a chill or two. Darn ol bugs!! exactly 2 weeks to the day, SnIL started this. Is it possible to Fire him?

Early start.....

Wide awake at 3 am!! What the Heck,, maybe it's because the doc changed my thyroid doseage to a lower one?? This better not become a habit!!

Progress is being made on my store.. domain is mine, web site is named.. gotta wait til all the "buttons" work before I can spend more time on this beast and get my parts loaded into the store. Getting excited now. I've got lots of previews to do, zip and get ready. One of my favorites ideas for embellishments came from a childhood memory.

My Aunt Mary showed me her jewelry box: You know how nosey and curious a child can be, right? I fell in love with her Cameo Pin.. And Wanted to know how I could get one. It was a tradition that YOUR INTENDED gave you a Cameo back then. So I was Promised I would get one when I had an Intended. Unfortunately by the time I was old enough to have an Intended, that tradition was lost.

But!!

I now have several!! For any occasion I wish to recall. Who Says Only an INTENDED can give you one? Stop clicking on the image.. these are NOT free.

This packet will be in the store: www.digigranny.com real soon (I hope)

A lot more tweeking and DD#1 will have it ready for anyone who wants to sell items. Strings attached with selling, but No requirements on your time. Just a small monthly fee will be agreed upon before you get a shelf or two. * no forum* I hope ya check back often to get the GRAND OPENING NEWs --

Now back to finding a 2nd cuppa and doing some household chores.. Real Life calling me, AGAIN.. Granny

Web surfing news

I gotta tell ya..it pays to surf around and click on those names, icons and blinkies you see everywhere. I just found this great new site for you Freebie lovers.. whether you give them or collect them, this new site is up and going.. http://picklebeans.com/forum/. You have to be a registered member to get in and browse. And that is only fair. I'm looking to put a picture up of a freebie, then link it here to My Blog. That's it!! Minimal code learning which they also give you the link to the HOW TO.. Talk about user friendly!! Advertising for Free!!

I'll be getting My Links back up soon and You can bet there will be a Blinkie included for them. Check it OUT. Granny

Don't send the Ransom...I'm still here

I'm so darn busy, worse than when I had a full time job!! Learning the ins and outs of setting up my own store.. DigiGranny.com - Should be able to preview and have it up and running by March 1. At least that is the deadline I gave to my site builder.

I do all the advertising for you. After all, that what Granny's are for--we have bragging rights!

But back to my progress with PSE6 and learning everything it can do!! Layers.. yes, I finally figured it all out. Whew! not hard if ya can just find the right button/s. Thank goodness for kids who are smarter than their Momma!! And who use the same program when they design or edit wedding photos!! Did I mention my DD#1,, Well I'd better, since she's been my biggest Mentor/supporter/teacher in this venture.

Better get off here so I can make a preview, zip and get the link to ya for this month's Freebie.
It's a Surprise...Nothing fancy, but bet ya can use it.

Rainy Day Freebie

It is pouring here, and that makes me sooo lazy.. so I'm offering this small Digi kit I made from a color challenge at Digital Candy. They were wanting Grunge (my fav technique and scrappy style). So to get this little cutie, just click on the IMAGE:
4 papers, 4 starbursts, bar code and cracked overlay in 300dpi, 12x12 size papers. As you can see, I'm advancing my knowledge of PSE6 and all it's uses/tools. Most of the time an item does NOT come out the way I planned, then there are those items that just blow me away. I can't believe I actually created them- StarBursts. Leave me a comment here if there are things you like or didn't like. It's the only way I'll know what to FIX and what to REPEAT. Granny

Thursdays Freebie

I thought you might want to have a little Add On if you purchased the FebCollabKit over at DigitalScrapGarden.com. I made Frames from all those wonderful designers contributions . These are all png files at 300 dpi, so they will print off nicely or work with your digital creations.

Or even a Hybrid project-brag book or mini album.

Don't forget to Thank the designers, whose names appear on each Frame..when you open the file. To grab the Goodies.. just click on the Preview below:

I think I felt a bit of warmth from the sun today..sure enough the outside temp gauge says it is 20 F. !!! Yah!! You can't fool these ol bones!! It is warming up around here.

The kids are off to work today after having a week off. Mental Health and Just Because I don't want to Work vacations for both!! See that is what Ol Man winter does for you...come on sunshine!! Energize and renew us all.

Those pesky birds are back already, making their morning noises to let other birds know they got here first.. chirpy squabbles all day long.. so I know for sure that Spring is gonna be right behind them with another round of birdy doo doo all over the back patio. We put up Guards to keep them from nesting, but I don't see where they stopped the immigration.. don't tell me we need a WALL.

No plans for today other than Supper. We have K here so I have to double my recipes again. He sure is much quieter than the last FRIEND who need to crash til they got re established in their lives. And alot more helpful around the place. Garbage out, cleans up his own messes so that you would never know anyone was in the kitchen.

I have recovered from that last bout of Ickies!! And with warmer temps getting here, I'm sure I'll find lots more OUTDOOR activities to play with.. First I've gotta Thaw out. So til Next week, download and enjoy your goodies. Head over to the DSG and play with your scrapping.

Tell them GRANNY sent you!!
