Forum Style Masks

 I was playing around in PSP the other day, messing around with different filters and brushes and whatnot, and made up some forum-style (sized) masks.  They are sized 600x250 pixels.  General use, not holiday/event specific.  Some have the mask in both jpg and png formats - there were a few I couldn't make it happen for both formats without completely changing the look.  I actually made over 20 masks that day, messing around with some basic shapes and using different filters, different layer properties and whatnot.  I'll just put some here today, put more up later.

Hope you like them and thanks for looking!

To snag, just click on them and then "right click/save as" to your computer/device.

If you use them in your creations, I'd love to see!

Christmas Joy - Guy Style!

Hello and happy holidays, however you and yours celebrate the season!!

I am posting today to share some holiday themed JOY ... well, I hope you find them joyful!  LOL  I know I sure do.  I made these up in Perchance AI (I am absolutely LOVING the results it gives and also, it's free!) and made up a bunch of guys offering up milk and cookies (and whatever else?).  I will admit, I did some internal sighing while getting these ready for you all!  There are 8 in all.  Consider these a little "gift" to the women out there!

Anyway ... I hope you like them and if you use them in anything, I'd love to see.

As usual, they are in png format, so just click on it to enlarge and then "right click/save as" to your computer/device.

Quick Post - Semi Transparent Frames

 This is just a very quick post.  I was fiddling around with different filters and managed to make a couple of forum-sized semi-transparent frames and thought maybe someone would like to give them a go, try them out.  They're both sized 600x250 pixels however the inner area where the main part of the tag goes .. are 2 different sizes.  Also, the "inside" of one of them (top in preview) is also semi-transparent where the center of the other is completely open.

I placed them together in a .psd file (each on it's own layer) and uploaded to Mediafire - link under preview.  If you make anything with them, I'd love to see!

Just some info on abbreviations for taggers and those using digital scrapbooking

 Hello!

This is just a short "info" post ... wanted to put this here as a more-or-less something to use as a reference to fall back to as/when needed.  If you think this might help someone else, please ... feel free to share the link to this!

In a Facebook group I'm in that is geared towards PSP taggers, the following question was asked:  "What does 'PU' stand for in the context of digital scrapbooking?"

I responded with the following (below).  I also wanted to share it here for those that may not know or recall these abbreviations, or just needed a little refresher.  If you can think of something I missed, let me know and I'll be sure to add it.

When using these abbreviations, you do not need to use the quotation marks.

"PU" = Personal Use (Only)

"PTU" = Pay To Use

"FTU" = Free To Use

"CU" = Commercial Use Allowed

"R4R" = Resale for Resale (*)

"GPG" = General Permission Granted

"GP" = Group Permission

"DNU" = Do Not Use

"NL" = Needs License (to use)

"CC" = Copyright Compliant

"TS" - Tagger Size

"FS" = Full Sized (actual digital scrapbooking size)

"ppi" = pixels per inch

• Tagger Size is usually done at a lower ppi/dpi (somewhere in the range of 72-79 ppi) while Full Sized is done at a higher ppi/dpi (usually somewhere between 200-300). Also, the size/dimension of Tagger Sized is typically smaller, with papers and elements not being larger than 800 pixels on the largest size. Full Sized is usually around 2000 to 3000 pixels on the largest size.

*R4R = This is what I've always known it to be.  If someone knows it differently, let me know?  Thanks.

New Tubes - Warrior Goddess - AI

 I recently used one of these tubes to make a tag as part of a challenge on the © compliant group, Fun n Easy:

I made with this tutorial as part of the challenge.

I was asked if I would be sharing her on my blog to which I said "Yes"!  LOL
I thought I would need to do a bit more cleanup work on them however at second look, they seemed fine. I made them early on when Creative Fabrica's "Flow" (AI Studio) became available ... they have made significant improvements with this program since it started.  I have an All Access subscription to Creative Fabrica (birthday gift each year from my husband), and the AI programs are a part of what is covered. 

 So, here they are.  There are 4 in the set.  If you see any problems with them, just let me know.  I hope you like them.

Just click on it to enlarge, then "right click/save as" to save to your device/computer.

Happy Creating!
