updated girls night stickers

So I decided to update a few of the old Girls night stickers that I made a few years back. Here they are. Sorry this post is so short, but I'm pretty sure that I have the flu and I just don't feel like doing much of anything right now. Blah.

ANOTHER freebie!

Yay, two freebies in as many days! Maybe I will finally get back on track with blogging, even if it's only super short posts! Well now, today's freebie is a small tiny set of styles for Photoshop. I have been playing around with it for a little while and was finally really inspired by these GLORIOUS styles from ScrapGirls! Now mine are nowhere near the caliber of perfect that ScrapGirls offers, but I thought that it would be fun to give it a shot at making something similar. The first style has a pattern from Aeiryn on DeviantArt.com, the second and third ones from Photoshop-Stock, also on DeviantArt.com. Noticing a trend? lol. I LOVE Deviant Art and both of these designers are SPLENDID! So I guess I won't make you read anything else, here is the file, and the sample image.

Please keep in mind that style one (title darkglitter grey stripe chipboard) is only one style, but styles two and three (silver glitter edge teal victorian diamond chipboard and pink glitter edge pink toile chipboard) both have two versions- one just plain shipboard and one labeled for font, so that more of the pattern shows up on thinner areas, because I tried to make them look distressed, but with the plain version just look like glotter edged chipboard. I made these in Photoshop CS5, so I am honestly not sure what previous versions it will work with, but I think it will work with Photoshop 7 and above. Please don't quote me on that, though. lol. Once you extract the .zip file just drag the ASL file into your styles folder under presets, load it in photoshop, and play with your new chipboard styles! You can easily change the pattern on it by clicking on the pattern overlay layer of the style on your image and loading whatever pattern you like over it, but I won't promise that everything will look good with it. These were designed for use in a 12x12 inch image at 300 ppi and WILL look funny on any other size image. The easiest way to use them on another size image is the create your chipboard in the recommended size, choose "resize image" and drag it into your size canvas of choice. Please don't claim as your own, please don't repost else, but please feel free to point all of your Photoshop using pals here to snag the styles! I hope you enjoy!

Yay, a freebie! {FINALLY!}

I know, I know, it's been FOREVER since I posted a freebie! lol. Well, here is a cute little "chipboard" title, saying simply "Happy New Year!" I am open to requests for "chipboard" titles right now, just shoot me a message. :) It's fun making them. I might post some styles for photoshop later, to make your own titles and shapes, but first I have to compile a set for general public use that is all open source or ok to share. I'm also thinking about writing a tutorial for how to make styles in photoshop, now that I have it figured it out. :) It's actually pretty simple, once you get the hang of it.

Anyway, here is the title!

The niftiest find ever! (ok, not ever, but so far this year!)

I have come across an entire book of blueprints from a hotel. Seriously. I'm so excited- I will be making a book out of these papers and of basic binding supplies, but nothing else, except maybe an embellishment on the cover. I won't be using any normal paper, no fancy paper for the cover, nothing, just creativity and my blueprints! I will take some pictures of the book before I cut it up, but my camera is dead at present, so I won't be doing it right now. Now I just have to get to the store and get my binding board!

So, did everyone have a good new year? Mine was quiet- I was designing a few scrapbook pages and Chris was playing WoW while the kids got to run amock and terrorize the poor doggies. lol. They really didn't, they were busy playing with their new Christmas toys. Monkey got herself a couple of new princess dolls- an Arial from her Nanny and Poppy and a singing Belle from Mommy and Daddy, and played HARD with them up until Sunday night, when she had to go to bed for school. We might kind of regret the singing Belle. lol. Bubba got himself some robotic toys that walk on their own, as well as a couple of action figures. He has quite the adventures, you know! Sometimes they play together with their toys, but that normally ends up in arguing, because she insists that his toys have to be girls to play with her. lol. Rotten little Monkey! Well, time fo rme to go rearrange some more furniture. :) We got another desk so I don't have to try sit on the bed constantly when I want to use my laptop- my back was starting to hurt! lol. (Anyone who knows us knows that we are total geeks (and gamers) who spend a very large amount of time at our computers!) By the by, Star Trek Online has a deluxe version on sale for $5 on Amazon- it's a digital download and you get a free month of playtime with it. I get to play a joined Trill! I'm so excited! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to science officer, like Jhedzhia Dax, or if I want to go tactical, which is security and commanders, basically. Only thing about tactical is that red shirts are always the frst to die! lol. I guess I'll figure it out- I haven't started my actual game yet, I just played the demo. Oh, but I got a tribble! lol.
