Capturing the Moments!!!


Yea for me! I had a few extra minutes this afternoon and actually did something on my LONG to do list of 2010---To become more proficient in Photoshop.

I saw that last week Ali Edwards had done a week long "tutorial" on Digital Scrapbooking. I got Photoshop elements from my Mom for my birthday (back in August, no less!) and after trying very unsuccessfully to so things on it, I officially said "I QUIT!" It was too hard and too confusing and I COULDN'T do ANYthing I wanted. Well, I today I decided that a LOT of people use it, so it can't be THAT hard. I watched a few videos and took a few, ok, a BUNCH of notes and Look what I did....

May not look like a lot to you, but I successfully downloaded AND added a brush to this picture AND was able to save AND find it AND get it on the blog! I know this is just the tip of the iceberg of what Photoshop can do, but this little thing opens up a whole new world to my pictures and my scrapbooking! I am SO excited! Oh, and enjoy the picture, too, of course!

yay! good job jess! yes, i downloaded picasa today. i'm going to start with that, then down the road get photoshop elements, i think. the one thing picasa doesn't do that i wish it did is let you tweak eye colors and keep pics black and white. it has sort of something like that, but not exactly. anyway, i'm having fun with it. you need to find some pics to enter into the i heart faces blog contests!

Wow now your stuff will be even cuter! I would love to pay you to do a scrapbook for me! My mom actually did that for me for Haden's first birthday, but that is the last one I have.
