Thank You!!!

Big ol' thanks to everyone who helped me 'tweek' my first Photoshop Action.
I've got the action in the shoppe now, and no further testing is required ;)

And THANK YOU Miss Lauren! :)

You are the bestest!

Lauren, was so kind to help me make the action compatible with Elements and older versions of Photoshop. She even wrote out instructions on how to install the action in PSE!
Woot! Woot!!

Couldn't have done it with out you chicka! THANK YOU! :)

Any Volunteers??

**ETA: Thank you!! I appreciate all your replies, and your help! I have received enough testers in every program :) **

So, I made my first photoshop action today :)

Man, those are testy little buggers.

I've created a stylized action to create your photo on some antique paper.
It takes your photo from this:


To this:


Yes, I've been playing :)

But what I need are some volunteers to test this action in all versions of photoshop and elements.

Any takers?

Email me which version of photoshop you are using and If I haven't already found a tester for that version, then I will email you back a link.

Thanks in advance! :)

**ETA**
Doh! My email addy ;)

Bad Blogger! :)

Oh, I've been neglecting you! :)

We are still trying to get things situated with Little Dreamer.. Working out all those inevitable new site kinks ;)

We finally have a date for our grand opening celebration!! And oh, it's going to be a DOOZY!

I AM SO EXCITED!! :)
We have some fabulous news to share, and we will be spilling the beans for our grand opening, June 1st :)
And we promise that this grand opening will knock your socks off!! :)
So stay tuned for more details on that! :)

Lori and I have also been going through all the fabulous creative team applications today. We thought we would have our team selected by tomorrow, but it looks like we are going to need to take the weekend as well. Everyone should be contacted by Monday the 21st :)

Hmm. What else..

Oh. I've got a few new goodies out in the shoppe.
A new kit: Island Adventurers.
Made this kit for my friend, Rebecca to go with her fabulous photos of her little boys. I think it turned out pretty good!





Island Adventurers

It was so fun making this collection, I hope you enjoy it!

I also have some fun Photo Overlays out!



Photo Alchemy Vol 1

Plus I have another collection:

The Story of Us








So. I guess while I haven't been blogging. I have been designing, and well, maybe that is more important?? :)

Hoping to get some time to scrap this weekend! :) I've got some fantastic photos -alm our vacation that I have been dying to scrap!!

But for now, I am off to watch the season finale of Grey's. Woohoo!! :)

Server Needs a little downtime :)

Just got off the phone with our server company.. UG.
Seems that we may have a bad memory stick, seriously!

They are going to take us offline tonight so they can test it
And hopefully it will only take a couple of hours.

YUCKIE!

We will certainly keep you posted here on the blog :)
Gotta love those new server quirks ;)

Digi Scrapping without a computer ;)

So this last weekend, I had the PLEASURE of meeting up with some gals in Park City to do some Scrapping! Oh, an entire weekend sans children, with nothing else to do but SCRAP! Ahhh..

So, We got up there Friday night. I laid out all my goodies, Laptop, external drive, I even brought my tablet incase the urge to design something struck.. Turned on my laptop, checked my email first ;) But my computer was so stinkin' slow! So I rebooted.

Oh.

My screen comes back on with a grey folder with a question mark.. It just flashes..

OMG.

We tried everything, rebooting, taking out the battery and rebooting, resetting the P-Ram, My friend was on her computer checking out all the tech support online (Thanks Bec!) NOTHING WORKED!!

I was starting to think I was the only person in the world that could break a Mac ;)
It is less than a year old!!

So, I had to deal with NOT having a computer while everyone else was happy scrapping.. (OUCH!!) And calling Tech support in the morning was NO BETTER.

Had to take it to the Apple Store. Turns out the hard drive DIED..

So, they juiced me back up, and now I have to install all my programs back on, and THANKFULLY! we had archived all the files on it! That would have hurt WAY WORSE!

I still had a great time with the girls. I couldn't scrap, so I did some retail therapy ;) Spent WAAAAY to much at the outlet stores! (how can you NOT splurge at Gap and Gymboree when it's outlet prices??, Seriously!)

And I really enjoyed just chatting with everyone. Hoping we can do it again in August! This time though, hoping I can actually scrap something ;)

Here is a photo of the girls ;)



I finished up a new kit yesterday! :) :)
Check out the LDD blog to take a peak!

And while you are there, check out our blinkie contest!! For a chance to win $50 to the LDD Shoppe! :)
