NEW TUTORIAL ~ MY POD

Tag is animated, click HERE to see it as animated.




For this tutorial I am using the wonderful artwork of Susan McKivergan and you can purchase her work at Artistic Minds Inc HERE. Or tube of choice and a closeup image of choice. Font of choice. Mask of choice, I am using EBD Mask2 (in my supplies) by Rachel. I have tried finding her site to get a link but each one I click on tells me its not available so if someone has that I would love to know so I could link to her. My supplies HERE (mask). The scrap kit I'm using is an Exclusive Scrap Kit from Missy and Tammy at Scraps With Attitude called Teen Love and you can purchase it HERE. Its a wonderful kit!!!
Open all your supplies in PSP and minimize for now. Open a new image 505x520. Layers, new raster layer and flood fill white. Take one of your papers or color/gradient of choice, I used Teen Love Tammy's Scraps _ Paper 6, copy and paste as a new layer. Go to Layers, new mask layer, from image and find your EBD Mask2 from the drop down and click OK. Right click on your original mask over in your layers pallet on the right, merge, merge group. Open up Teen Love_MP3 Player 1 or one of your liking. Resize to your liking and copy and paste onto your working canvas. Using your magic want click inside the grey area of the MP3 Player. Selections, modify, expand by 1. Copy and paste your close up image or tube of choice into the selection area. Go to selection, invert, delete. Add a dropsahdow of choice and lower the opacity to your liking. Copy and paste main tube of choice and place it next to the MP3 player, resize to your liking and add dropshadow of choice. Add any other elements of choice, resizing and dropshadowing to your liking. Add your copyright info. You can then add your name or animate yours like I did mine if you would like. Either way I think looks fine. If you would like the animated instructions please let me know and I'll try my best to explain, lol. I'm still getting used to the tut writing. I appreciate any constructive criticism.

NEW TUTORIAL ~ GORGEOUS SPRING

Click on tag to enlarge.
This is only my second tut so if I missed something somewhere please let me know.
For this tutorial I am using the wonderful work of Suzanne Woolcott. To use her work you must purchase a license and tube/s and you can do that at GorjussArt.com HERE . Font of choice, I am using Stephanie Marie. Mask of choice, I am using EBD Mask55 (in my supplies) by Rachel. I have tried finding her site to get a link but each one I click on tells me its not available so if someone has that I would love to know so I could link to her. I used the wonderful and adorable scrap kit Darlings of Spring by Missy. You can purchase this kit at Scraps With Attitude HERE. My supplies (mask by Rachel) HERE. Template #29 by Sarah, you can find her blog HERE.
Lets get started. Remember to save often.
Open your tube, mask, etc and minimize in PSP for now.
Open template #29, image, canvas size 700x600 (you can resize later). Delete the copyright layer, the heart layer and the wordart layer on the template. Click on the very last layer of the template. Go to layers, new raster layer, OK. After adding this layer bring it down to the bottom under all the template layers and flood fill this layer white.
Copy and paste paper of choice, I used paper #30 from the Darlings of Spring kit onto your canvas on top of your white flood filled layer you just did. Go to Layers, new mask layer, from image and find your EBD Mask55 from the drop down and click OK. Right click on your original mask over in your layers pallet on the right, merge, merge group. Highlight the template half circle, selections, select all, float, defloat. Add new raster layer. Select your flood fill tool and flood fill this layer with color or scrap of choice, I used #c2e3f6. Selections, select none. Then delete the original half circle. Continue to do this for all template layers in your colors or scraps of choice. Using your magic wand click inside frame 1, selections, modify, expand by 4. Copy and paste a tube of choice into this selections. Selections, invert, delete. I think changed the blend mode of my tube to luminance legacy. Repeat this process for frame 2. Copy and paste your tube of choice and place where you like it. Add any elements of choice. I used Darlings of Spring Horse, Darlings of Spring Flowers and Darlings of Spring Flower Ribbon 1. You can then add your copyright info and name and resize to your liking. I resized mine 599x486. I hope you've enjoyed this tut. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at littlefieldswife@yahoo.com.

Re-Upload of Military Collab Kit for PSP 7 and Up


Hey everyone, sorry to those who havent been able to open up the parts of this kit. When I saved everything it was in PSPX form so if you are using a version lower it was unopenable. I have went through and resaved everything in PSP7 form so as long as you are using 7 and above it should open for you. I am so sorry and will hopefully remember from now on. I hope by doing this everyone will be able to open it up. I would love to see any vreations you might make from it. Hugs, Dawn littlefieldswife@yahoo.com
You can download it HERE.

BLOG LAYOUT REQUEST?

I was wondering if by chance someone could help me out with a blog layout? I have no idea how to make them and I just end up making a mess, lol. I wanted a change so I did what I have up now which is just blah. So I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out. I could even gift a few tubes your way. Please help me, lol. Hugs, Dawn
