Text Paths

How to create your own text paths, using the marquee and pen tool. For some reason the audio didn't quite correlate with the video. So the audio is a little off. If you are patient with me, this video will be very useful to all you digital scrapbookers. enjoy!

Digital Paper Pumpkins

This is a video on how to make digital paper pumpkins. It's really fun. Basically this tutorial shows how to use the marquee tool in Photoshop CS3. The "Smell my feet" kit was downloaded from www.shabbyprincess.com and is only $6.95. So here you go! have fun!

Digital Scrapbooking lessons #1 and #2

I've decided to make some VERY amature digital scrapbooking instruction videos. This is for beginners and like I said, very amaturish! Hopefully those of you who watch don't mind. Once or twice a week I will be posting digital scrapbooking lessons. Including some photo editing effects. I will be using Adobe Photoshop CS3, but it should be similar with any photoshop editer. Adobe Photoshop elements 6, can be used to do similar things, but not as much of the photo editing effects. Many educational videos can be found on youtube. just type in the program you are using and there should be tutorials.

To print your digital scrapbook pages scrapping simply will do 12x12 for 1.99 and they are high quality prints. The shipping costs are fairly inexpensive as well.

I love digital scrapbooking. Not only is there less mess (way less) but instead of printing out all your pics. cutting them, and maybe not having the right sizes so having to print more, you can adjust the sizes, put on a scrapbook page, add elements then print. easy. (and it does get easier!) So here we go, our first 2 lessons, the 2nd lesson had to be split into 3 for loading on youtube. Enjoy! happy learning!

It's been a while...

Just a few pics. I havent posted any for a while, and I just realized that the last photos I posted were from last august! crazy how time flies. Lots has been going on. now that the weather is um, better? the boys have been motorbiking. The girls love it too. Naomi likes to try to steer the 4-wheeler, but she's not quite big enough. No matter how girly girls are they still like some adventure!
Pretty hair, aunt Sarah babysat and braided naomi and katlin's hair, when they woke up we took it out. They loved it! Thanks, Sarah.

Waiting for class to starts and Katlin had to go with me, we walked around the river.
Great-Grandma Bird knitted this hat, and we put a flower on it, Flower Power!


Very Rare! Hug from Conner to Naomi. (never ever happens!) even though it a blurry phone pic. I had to include this rare occasion.

Bamboo Fun!

I got a Bamboo Fun pen tablet for my birthday in march, and I'm just now having time to play with it. Now I'm not an amazing artist like my bro (his website: raycebird.com). But I am having a lot of fun with it, mostly editing pics and drawing on adobe illustrator (which I love). So far I've made my own font, (kinda sloppy :) ) and made a beach sunset in illustrator.

Still blogging

I am planning on updating my blog soon, (yes I still have one) I will be keeping up on this better, so visit it when you can! see you soon.-Bree

What????Blog???FACEBOOK HAS TAKEN OVER!

yes, I have been facebooking! But I miss the creativeness of blogging. This summer, I am going to do better at it. for any of you who still check your blogs that is. I love digital scrapbooking, it is my hobby. Lately I've been engulfed in school. I am really looking forward to the summertime. I really need to get my creative juices flowing.

update!

Well we had a great summer. Busy but fun! One week before school started I went on a girls trip to Vegas with my sisters, Tahnea and Sarah we had a blast! This is a little out of order but here are the pictures.

Well we have been very busy this summer. I was hoping I would have plenty of time to blog, scrapbook and play. But I didn't. I spent a lot of time organizing my house and playing with the kids. I'm not really sure the organizing was worth it, cause 1 week into school and it's all messed up again. I will be spending labor day re-doing everything. what fun! Here is a picture of me and the kids at my sister Sarah's apt. in Salt lake City. We visted her 2 weekends before school started. She has a pool and a workout room. We had a blast!

(Sorry Karissa I didn't call you, we had each day loaded since we were only there for 3 days. next time...promise)

Pay it forward with disclaimer

Here's how this game works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the next couple of months, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play (comment) and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember, only the first three get a gift, so you have to be super fast!This will be fun! I am excited to see what comes out of it ... HURRY, this will be fun!

We're back!

We are back in this cold dry weather. We had a blast in Cancun! We went deep sea fishing, snorkeling, clubbing in downtown Cancun and spent tons of time in the sun, either at the beach or at the pool. Way cool. Probably a once in a lifetime experience. Here are some photos...
