shares for you soon...

 

So like to say thanks for visiting and here are some of my results of late

In the first tag I have used one of my own photographs..

 

This tag is from a tutorial I did today

Well that's about if for the day..I am offering some

Taken in

Hi All

I feel bad about this but it seems that I may have created a tag that unfortunately may have stolen cute posers in them. Therefore I am removing the tag I created with that kit.

I had downloaded a kit in good faith from a site called http://sugarspicebrat.blogspot.com/ which is now shut down by the owner a few weeks ago..
but only today am I finding out this information that her creations may have or appear to be stolen unfortunately.
I have gotten information from Brandi's site http://brandiscreations.blogspot.com/ also from http://www.lassiesdesigns.com/scotty.html who Claim their work stolen
I do not know that the poser were stolen or not... I can only take precautionary action...

I am now however removing the results of the tag I created with that kit and when and if I find out more information then perhaps I'll be able to create a new tag.
The kit is called Parfait scrapkit and I'm sorry to say I do not know how much if any of it that may be stolen and am trying to find out.

I'll also be removing the header that was created for me by sugarspicebrat as I cannot be sure that any of the work in that is not stolen

If anyone has downloaded the kit on my recommendations I am trying to get more information about it and I am truly sorry that this has happened.
In the meantime I would suggest not using the kit until I do have further information.

Again I apologise for the inconvience and hope you will continue to visit my site...

Hugs Michelle

Template Tutorial and New Freebie Template

How to Create a Template

Basic

Hi All

Recently I was asked how to create templates and if I could write a tutorial on how to do it

So here it is...

Templates are basic Frames that are created so that they can be filled in with colours or scrap paper etc to give the effect you like and decorate them to create your own unique tags...

This tutorial was written by Michelle Mills on 11^th January 2009. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is purely coincidental. I claim all rights to this tutorial. Your results of this tutorial you are free to do with as you wish.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of Paint shop Pro.

The results of this tutorial were done in Paint shop Pro Ultimate x2.

Hugs Michelle

Ok so here we go this is the Template we’re going to make

First create a new 600x600 transparent image

Rename layer to background flood fill with white

In your material Palette make your foreground transparent by clicking the little circle with cross through it.

Change your Background Colour to a dark grey

Go to your Selection tool and Choose Octagon, mode is replace, feather 0, anti-alias checked

Now pull out a shape to fill most of the middle section and fill with the dark grey.

Select none and move your shape to the middle of paper, Rename Layer Large Octagon

See image below for placement

Select all Float and Defloat, then select>modify>Contract 15

Create new raster; Make sure new raster is selected

Select>Modify>select selection borders, outside checked, anti-alias checked, border width 4, click ok and then fill with a light grey, select none, Rename Layer Octagon Frame

Continue to rename your layers as you’re going along so you know where you are at

Choose a new shape, I Chose a Leaf pull out a shape to the size you like and then move it around to place where you like.

As this has pulled out on a vector layer

Convert to raster I now duplicated the raster layer and mirrored the new layer and then I free rotated by about 40 degrees and brought the leaves together

I have decided I like what I have so have duplicated both the leaf layers again

Flipped them and then mirrored them and then adjusted the position by moving until they sat where I liked them

I then used Selection tool again with Ellipse to create an oval and placed in the middle of my shape, convert to raster and select all>modify>contract 4 and then

Add new raster

Select all>Modify>select selection borders> Outside checked, anti-alias check border width 4 and filled on new raster layer with dark Grey

I then used another shape this time a ribbon and pulled that out

Converted to raster and free rotated by 40 degree and placed where I liked it.

Continue to use your light and dark grey or white if necessary

Use your shapes, Brushes or Selection Tools until you have a template you like and want to work with

When you have a template you like Save as a pspimage...do not merge your layers

And then try your new template for any problems...

You’re done

Hugs Michelle
