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.

Learning New Things

I followed a tutorial for Paintshop Pro that taught me how to turn a colored photograph into a vintage style photo, then to isolate certain parts of that photograph and colorize only those parts.  My first attempt at it turned out fairly well.

The actual scrapbook page was another amazing "free to use" find. It's called a "quickpage" because it's already made for you and all you have to do is slip your own photo into the transparent space.  This is how all of my digital scrapbook pages were put together.  Thanks to all the amazing artist's that off their items to those of us who are not so artistic, much appreciated.  I do believe that I got this particular one from Linda-ohwhatfun.blogspot.com
