Since DH took a look at Photoshop Express (and came basically to the same conclusions I did) I thought I’d look over some other editing programs that have come my way. Can’t hurt to cast an eye over the fence now and then!

The kind folks over at Scrapbook Max generously sent me a copy of their cute CD to play with, I’m sure in hopes that I’d tell ya’ll to run right out and buy copies for everyone you know! I played around with it, and I’ll have to give it a qualified thumbs up…

WARNING-These Photoshop tutorial videos can be a little potty mouth sometimes… But they are worth it, funny and you learn something.

Donnie Hoyle from MyDamnChannel has posted a hilarious series of Photoshop tutorials called “You Suck at Photoshop”. Read the rest of this entry »

I needed a layout about myself for my bio page at Digitalscrapn - and it took me TWO WEEKS to get it done!  Now that I’ve bit the bullet and forced myself to look at all these TERRIBLE photos of myself, I decided to keep it simple and use the photo DH took in the front room by the window.

So I thought you’d like to see!  Thanks for looking!

We were talking recently on a yahoo group about scrap software.  I’m an old Photoshop user from waaaaaaay back, so I tend to be partial to PS and PSE.  For strictly scrapping, I actually prefer PSE5, for designing - PSCS2/3.

But I want to know….

What do YOU use??

As we develop more and more tutorials, I’d like to know what programs you all are using, so we can make sure we are providing useful information to all our dear readers.

We put a poll in the sidebar that we will keep ongoing; so whenever you join us or if you change programs, let us know!  If I didn’t list your favorite program, leave a comment here, and if enough people mention it I will add it to the poll.  I’d love to hear why you use what you do, and whether you’ve changed or are contemplating a change.  So tell me ALL about it…

The DaddyKitty has been playing hooky - I’ve been traveling and did not have time to do a quick tip

BUT

I got to do something totally cool! I took a good customer to:

The show was great! IF you are a Python fan you have to see it.

BUT

Unknown to me, I was seated in the “special seat”. I GOT TO BE IN THE SHOW!

Because I was in the special seat, the Holy Grail was hidden under my seat. I got a Peasant of the Year award (it’s the little gold foot in the picture), got to go up on stage and sing part of a song! This a really bad Polaroid pic they took during the show. King Arthur was played by John Hurley - he has also played Mr. Peterman from The Seinfeld Show.

It was an unforgettable experience and won me a customer for life! I’ll try and scrap some of the other pictures we took sometime later.

Keep Scrapping! Stan - The DaddyKitty

As you might have noticed the ScrapKitty (my darling wife Jenn White) has been out of the loop the past few weeks. The reason is she has been working hard on 3 yearbooks - one for each of our kids. On two she has a wide range of creative control and basically “scrapped” them! Check out this slide show of the pages from the books. I especially love #6,7,9, and 12! I’m proud of her!

I came across this neat idea on this great Photo Blog - take a Photo a Day! Since I’m determined to make gift books for all the grandparents next year, I thought these would be great divider pages! So I’m trying - and to make it a little easier, I made these templates. Even if you don’t take a photo a day, what a great way to do an overview of a month! I’m thinking these would make great calendar pages, too!

Kit includes:

13 .psd layered templates - one for each month, and one generic one you can customize

12 .png templates for those of you who can’t use layered files

All templates are at 12×12 inches 300ppi, but will scale down just fine.

Now only $3.99 - regular price is $4.99! Just click the Buy Now button -

Some wonderful scrappers have made some great layouts with this kit - go leave some loves if you have a second!

Sweet by Linfes posted at SOTB - look how creative she was with the tag ties!  Brilliant!

100% Princess by @}– Ruby –{@ on her blog - look how she turned the frame sideways!  Very smart!

CellPhones by Lorirn at SOTB - how CUTE is this!  Their photos are on the phones!

Thanks to everybody who has purchased this kit, I hope you all do more wonderful things with it!  I’m looking around for your layouts - leave a link for me if you post so I can leave you loves!

Why add it? Two reasons:

• It makes it easier for YOU to share a post or page with a friend and fellow digiscrapper

• It allows us a quick and easy tool to provide these links for you (it’s a bear to have to add the code for each site manually - this does it all in one!)
