It's so good to be back!

I am so relieved to finally have the Internet back. I have been with out it ALL weekend and it finally came back today. I didn't know what to do with myself. Saturday I was checking it every five minutes to see if it had come back. Sometimes the Internet is a bit temperamental any way, but I couldn't believe it when it still wasn't working on Sunday. What was I going to do.

My oldest son wasn't very well so he kept me busy and that kept my mind off it.

Don't you just feel so cut off from the world what would we do with out, especially here in scrap land.

I know have some catching up to do. So I will be back later with some CT layouts and other layouts I have done.

Eila has pointed out something I was not aware of about 4shared, thank you for pointing it out. I wasn't complaining about lack of comments left for me, I was just generally commenting as what I see as a freebie hunter. Several of the freebies that I left comments for I left comments on their blogs as well and there was only a few other people that left comments on their blogs. there just seems that since 4shared has changed people just don't seem to bother leaving comments at all.

Thank you to all those who have left me love I really appreciate it.

If you don't wish to register with 4shared you an always leave some love anonymously on digi designers blogs or suggest a way that you would prefer.

A little rant about comments on 4shared

While downloading some freebies I noticed the lack of comments on 4shared. Are people put off by now having to log in to leave a comment? It doesn't take long to log in and leave some love. I think I can say for every one that we appreciate ALL the comments you leave even if it just a thank you. So take a little time to leave some love if you download a freebie.

True Blue I so love it!

Vicki kindly asked us what colours we would like a kit in and I chose monotone blues as I had photos that had a lot of blue in them and having boys blue is always a great colour to have a kit in. This is what Vicki came up with and I absolutely love it.

This is the layout I have done with it and I plan to do a few more with it.

This kit just goes so beautifully with this photo.
Thank you so much Vicki.
She has kindly let me do an add-on to this kit which I will be posting on Friday.

I Guess This Is My First Tutorial

This little tutorial is for Jess she wanted to know how I put the photo on the background.

I use Photoshop Elements 4 for my layouts.

First you take a paper of your choice and drag it into your new blank file. I used one from Vicki's "Breakfast At Tiffany's".

You can do it with out a background behind the photo, but I prefer the effect it gives.

Then you find the photo you want to use on the background and drag it onto the paper(making sure it's on a new layer.

Next you resize (making sure you maintain aspect ratio) it so it covers the whole of the paper and position it so you've got the main subject where you want them. I position mine just slightly of center and make sure I have room for the embellishments and title.

Now change the opacity of the photo (so it blends in with the background paper) until you are happy with the effect. I changed my opacity to 60%.

If you are completely happy with the position and opacity of the photo I sometimes fine it easier to merge your layers at this point.

Finish off by adding your embellishments, title etc.

I have also done this with another layout if you scroll done to labels on the left hand side and click on layouts and scroll down til you see the layout.
