Learned something NEW!

After spending over an hour copying and pasting all these little hearts one at a time for this page, I learned a wonderful tip from Lady Shannon at http://ladyshannonmemoriesmadeeasy.blogspot.com/2008/12/children-papers.html who makes the cutest papers.

She told me to:

"Get your image that you want to use as a background. I make mine 1.50inch - 2 inch. I click on the tab marked "EDIT"scroll down to "DEFINE PATTERN". That should pop up a box and hit ok. Once there just open your pattern pallet and it should be the last one in the list."

So using her instructions, I created this new hearts page. WOW, it was fast! It took about 3 minutes to create this page and it is actually all uniform! Thank you Lady Shannon!!!

Now I look forward to creating many more papers using this handy tip. Now I just have to learn how to put them all in a file for sharing.

January Calendar page

I have been having fun experimenting with Photoshop Elements 7 program and came up with a January Calendar page, using my favorite dolls, Ann Estelle's and Sophie. They are enjoying a wintery January day in the snow. Of course I had to redo the page once I had I finished, because I forgot and put January 2008 on it. I haven't figured out what I will do with these pages once I have finished, but I am sure having fun playing with it.
