More Moxie Fab

 

Here's a cute little card I made using Photoshop and a printer.  It's for the Trendy Triangle Challenge for Moxie Fab World.   I also added it to the triangle challenge over at SWAT.   I made the background using a template for PSE.  I brought the cupcake image into My Digital Studio and added the candles and sentiment from the Stampin' Up! images in MDS.

Colour Q Challenge #201

 

Wow, has it really been over 200 challenges for Colour Q?   Time sure flies.

This week I used the palette from Colour Q with the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy to scrap some recent photos of my daughter.  I also used the "This Year" kit from Pixels and Co.

Here's a quick page I made using a template and kit.

 

 I used the Storyteller Template from Scrap Orchard.

 

 

And the Endless Summer Kit from Pixels and Co.

 

 

Just a quick post...

 

Here's a little page I whipped up using a template and my new Photoshop Elements.

Photoshop FINALLY!!!

OK so I finally took the plunge and bought PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 11.

Whew, this is going to be a challenge for me.

 

You see, I have been using My Digital Studio and GIMP together to create my digital layouts, but Photoshop can do it all in one.  The only problem for me is that I have become really competent with the other 2.  I know all the shortcuts and secrets with the other two.  So now I have to slow down and relearn a lot of techniques.  And I'm honestly a bit frustrated at my learning curve.  I hate being a student. (ironic right?)

 

Besides this, I've also found it difficult to find many free resources and tutorials on Photoshop Elements 11.  There are a number of settings that are slightly different on version 11 from version 10 so I can't use videos that are a year old, I have to find videos that are specifically for version 11.    From what I gather, versions 8 - 10 are very similar, but the newest version is different in a number of ways.

 

I've watched a few good You-Tube videos though.  So far, Design House Digital has been the most help for me.  Sadly, they are closing their shop as of July 15, 2013.  But the tutorials are supposed to remain available.

 

Anyway, here's my first creation.

 

 

I decided to try scrappin' from a template.  It's much faster than creating the whole page by yourself.  I think this template is a bit busy, but for my first try, I'll take it!

 

I used the Storyteller template from Scrap Orchard.  

 

 

And the This Year kit from Scotty Girl Design over at Pixels and Co.
