Hi there!
So, I’ve got Good News and Bad News. Quite a lot of both actually.
Good News. My grandsons, ages 5 and 6, are here at my house for the summer. They came a little earlier than expected this year. Below you’ll see them in all their mud-wrestling glory.
Bad News. I’m pooped. I bet you know the feeling! I’m way behind on, well, basically everything.
Good News. I’ve had a guy working on our website. He’s adding a little something that we’re excited to explore and share with you.
Bad News. While he’s working, there have been (a ..read more

Hi there!
Has your scrapbooking evolved to the use of custom shadows?
A custom shadow is a shadow that has been manipulated to make an otherwise flat and lifeless object look more realistic and 3D in appearance.
When done right, they can have a huge impact on the design of a scrapbook page. Take this for example:
These two wire hearts from Karen Schulz are exactly the same. The only difference is the shadow. The one on the left has a basic layer style shadow. The one on the right has a custom shadow.
Which one makes you feel like ..read more

Hi there!
Last week at my sister’s house, I took a photo of a mirror she has hanging in her breezeway. I thought maybe I could use the snapshot as part of Syndee’s class (Lessons 5 and 6). Boy, it did not disappoint!
So, if you can get past that adorable face of my grandson (wink), take a look at the frame brushes I created from the photo of my sister’s mirror. I super love the result.

Hi there!
I love things that are fast and splashy, don’t you?
This week in the classroom, we’re going to be releasing a new class that’s fast, splashy, AND spectacular. The common theme of the new class is brushes, but that’s just part of it. In this new class, you’ll explore your creativity by playing with:
shapes
watercolors
type
blend modes
overlays
gradients
and more!
Whew! That seems like a lot, but as I said, it’s fast and splashy. I’ll see you in a day or two with more details and your opportunity to enroll.

Hi there!
If you’re not used to seeing them a lot, you may not know which is which and what the difference is.
For example, in the image below, do you know which represents knitting and which represents crochet?
The cloth on the left is knitted and the one on the right is crocheted. They are similar, yet different. One uses needles while the other uses hooks.
The same thing could be said about the parts of a layer in the Layers panel of PSE or PS. If you’re not used to seeing them a lot, you may not know which is whic ..read more

Hi there!
Some tools in Photoshop are just frustrating. There’s too much fiddling. Too much guessing. Too much eyeballing and trial and error.
Can you think of a tool like that?
The first one that comes to my mind is the Magic Wand tool. If you thought of a different one, you’re not wrong! There are many.
The reason some tools can be frustrating is that they are harder to understand. Their inner workings use concepts that are not as concrete.
Part 1 of Understanding the Magic
