Fun times at the computer today. I finally got the hang of the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator software. I tried out my skills creating a page of flowers from the garden. If you’re remotely interested, I suggest you give it a whirl. Once you’re over the proverbial hump, you’ll be amazed at what you can do.
Among the more interesting features: creating a “rubber stamp” effect using your photos or one of the “embellishments” from the library. Also fun: matting your photo with an exact color from your picture.
I’ve been assembling scrapbooks since I was a girl. Mom would make paste from flour and water, then she would line the kitchen table with newspapers and let us go to town. My sister and I cut pictures from magazines and pasted away. Who knew all these years later that I would be cutting and pasting with a computer?
Are you a ‘scrapper? Have you joined the digital bandwagon?

Oh, love the paper color. I really like what you did with the photo of your gorgeous Hydrangea. I took a Photoshop class at Treasured Memories last winter. Amazing stuff. I haven’t practiced enough though, use it or loose it right? Thanks for the reminder.

Agreed. Use it or lose it. I’m creating an album for a client so I’m getting lots of practice this week.
My sister is a wiz on Photoshop, but I’ve never taken a class. I hear it’s quite a powerful program.
Thank you for your nice comments.

Yeah right in there. The pictures from your garden are very wonderful Photoshop materials. and though there are a whole lotta pictures that ywe can source from the internet, having them from a source where you know they exist is a different feeling altogether.
Your garden blog, I am sure, would be amazingly therapeutic and your thoughts makes so much sense and entertaining.
