Gone Digital

So it's been a VERY long time since I did anything to my blog let alone posting anything. Of course I never did get on with my plan of completing all those paper craft/ scrap-booking kits as I had intended this site to showcase. Unfortunately, LIFE go it the way! Good ol' John Lennon - "Life is what happens while your busy making other plans". Isn't that the truth!

Well, in the mean time I've managed to figure out how to use my Photoshop program for digital scrapping. Oh, I'm still addicted to scrap supplies except they are much easier to store as digital files! LOL.

I will get around to posting some layouts that I've completed for various challenges at various forums but that all takes time. As it is Christmas time no one has any of that left over.

I've discovered a fun little way to send greetings to your friends. By making digital Tags. These cute low res images can be made with digital scrap elements and saved as png or jpeg. Then you can email them, post them on Facebook or your preferred social media site or used as profile pics, avatars or signatures. 

I really like putting up a tag to say happy birthday rather than just typing the words. Here's a couple I made recently.





I used a freebie kit from Creative Misfits http://creativemisfitscreations.blogspot.com/ a very cool group of ladies.

The one below is made with a freebie kit from Scraps n Crap http://scrapsncrap.blogspot.com/ also a very cool group of ladies.

 The third one I attempted this week was made from another freebie kit from Designs by Leigh Penrod http://heartfeltperfections.blogspot.com/

I really liked the black and white theme.




Anyway, that's the new thing I've found to spend my time on.

Cheers,
Marlie
