Rolled Masks 1

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 20:00:00 +0000

If you like masks like I do then you will find this set of Rolled Masks 1, coming to Mscraps today, very useful.
They are dense enough to provide a good base for photos and still suitable for use as overlays.
It will be, as usual for new releases, 20% off the regular price.

Reminder: storewide sales at Mscraps will be extended till November 8, 2013, so you can still take advantage of the 40% discount on all my products (except for this new set of masks).

TIPS (for using masks as overlays in Photoshop):

- Clip a paper (for example) to the mask as you would do with a photo. Apply a blending mode to your liking.
- Another option is to color the mask - I suggest adding Solid Color adjustment layer above the mask and clipped to the mask - and then to try various blending modes. You can change the color in the adjustment layer (Solid Color) to "fine-tune" the effect.

Here is some great inspiration from the talented CT:

Have a great, scrappy weekend!! :-)

paper roses 1 and updates

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:15:00 +0000

I am really having fun doing paper crafts now. My working table is constantly occupied by my new Gelli plate, piles of papers, stamping material and tubes with acrylic paint.
I started a group named Gelli Printing on Facebook to which anyone is welcome! My blog doesn't sport the Addicted To Gelli badge but it definitely should! lol
Here are some examples of my prints:

I also have a new Silhouette Portrait cutting machine and I've been enjoying learning to work with it. As a proof, I have a pack of paper flowers, made from my own Gelli prints and cut with the Portrait. You can expect more elements like these from me. :-)

This is a Personal Use product but it has a CU version as well.
The set is in the store right now and you take take advantage of a 20% discount throughout the weekend.

Here is a couple of examples of use of the flowers:

a chance to win september mist

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:14:00 +0000

My newest baby (yes I love the kits I make that much, lol) - September Mist.

Where I live, September feels almost like Summer, only with nights considerably colder. From Europe, I remember (occasional) beautiful hazy mornings, the sun seemingly shy to pierce though the fog.

If you take time to leave a comment with a couple of words about what a September looks like where you are, you can win this kit. Multiply your chances by doing the same on my Facebook page or at Mscraps.
I'll pick one winner Thursday morning (PST).

still in february

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:42:00 +0000

I started Project Life reluctantly, I was worried that I won't have enough of photos to fill my weekly layouts. Turned out that I have too many!

Almost every week (so far), I managed to make 2-3 layouts per week. It seems that there is a lot going on in my life :-)

I found a great app to help me with logging the daily little things - and the big ones as well...Day One.
I can attach a photo, tag, location or weather info to each daily entries. It has simple formatting like bold or italic text, lists or headers.
I run my desktop version next to Photoshop so I can see the events when hovering over a date with my mouse. I can log entries from either desktop, iPad or iPhone.

I promised a new preset, didn't I?
This one I made almost by accident when I was editing my photographs from Paris. It is great for giving photos a vintage flair and it's called In The 20's.

project life - january

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:08:00 +0000

I decided to give it a try and test my ability to stick to things. Having grown and out of the house kids I fear there won't be enough of life events to documents, not enough of daily meaningful snapshots.
Nevertheless, I will attempt to continue my efforts to chronicle our lives.

Here is the four weeks of January:
