I've Entered the Scrapbook Studio Contest!

It's that time again! Along with having started college this month, I'm also participating in the Scrapbook Studio's September Birthday Bash Contest! There are 90 designers, competing for a chance to win a guest spot on their creative team! I've just started my classes and it's been so much fun! I'm also going to give it my all through out September, to keep my chance alive to become a designer on their fab web site!

Voting for the first challenge starts at midnight, September 4th! I would love and appreciate your support to help me make this dream of mine come true!

All that I ask is: Can you please sign up for a member account here at the Studio and I will post the link to where the voting will commence!!

Thanks so much everyone! Looks like it's time for me to go back to classes today :) Thanks, everyone! Lots of love!

Photography

This past weekend, my buddy's band was playing at the Red River Rampage 2010 show - I took a schwack-load of pictures for them. I wouldn't say that I'm the greatest photographer in the world - in fact, I don't even think I'm that great - but I'm really happy with how the imagery turned out.

So happy in fact, I'm in a giving mood :) Who wants a Photoshop Action freebie?!

When I'm done creating an element, I spend far too much time trying to crop my elements individually. When saving element product files, it's important that much of the unnecessary space is trimmed away from the file. If too much negative space is left around individual elements, your packaged product can appear more bloated in size than it should be.

Introducing the Dragon Trimmer! This handy little Photoshop Action will trim any one of your graphics with a 10 pixel border. This product is for Personal and Commercial Use - and no credit is required when in use! It's just a simple, handy tool to have on the side of your drawing board, to eliminate those unnecessary time consuming clicks! Just be sure, before use, that you merge ALL layers that are to be a part of the image you want cropped.

Requires Adobe Photoshop CS2.0 or versions higher!

Mrs. Bright Side

At least when I look back on moments like this, when I'm 95 years old and my sunshine's running a little dim, I will at least get a chuckle out of this whole scenerio.

Why would I want to talk to a man who's basically made a fool out of me?
No, no, I can't think like that: the only one human being who can make me feel like a fool, is ME...and I certainly don't feel like one :) There, I feel much better, haha.

From this day forward, I will take these things as learning experiences, and will no longer worry about these annoying feelings I have...No matter how "real" they appear to be.

Just to brighten your day, here's another free digital scrapbooking download, to start you weekend off in the most exciting way.....FREELY!!! ^__^

Yes, life is hilarious...or it can be, if you make it :) So far, I've been toiling away (outside of my regular day job), creating more digital scrapbooking products and setting up new online stores!

Keep checking back for digital scrapbook freebies and announcements as time goes by.
