A New Quickpage

Here is another digital scrapbook page that I put back together.  My sister and I were out at Coal Vines Restaurant at the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri for a wonderful Mother's Day Lunch.

I did not make any of these elements, simply put together some "free to use" digital scrapbook elements together and slipped my photo behind it.  The flowers in the corner are from a paintshop pro tube.

Morning at the Market

Here are all 3 of the photos that I had taken put together on a digital scrapbook page.  The paper and bird that I used was from a freebie "A Town of Memories" kit designed by Darleen Araujo.

Another example of using Color Splash technique

I went to the Kansas City Market very early one morning, just as the market was opening up.  It was a wet, drizzling morning and I thought the market scene at that moment would make some awesome photos.  I whipped out my iPhone (haha, didn't have an actual camera with me) and took these photos.  I then used the color splash technique (see post directly below this one) and this is what I ended up with.  You can tell that in the 3rd photo, the brightness/contrast of the photo is more intense, I adjusted those levels in PSP and I think it actually looks better than the other 2 photos, makes them seem more aged somehow.

First up in my new "Video's for my Sister" series.

So I made this video for my sister who lives in a different state to try and help her learn some of the fun features of paintshop pro.  We like to scrapbook together, be it traditionally with paper and scissors or digitally and we usually scrap via Skyp.  There are many times I try to tell her how I accomplished a certain task and without any visual it's difficult to understand what I'm saying.  So keeping in the spirit of "A picture is worth a 1000 words" here is my first how-to video.  What this colorsplash does is isolate one color or one aspect of an image and have only that piece of it in color, it's super easy to do.  If you would like to see the larger version of this video, you can view it on my new Pinky Finger Crafts YouTube Channel.
