and I didn't turn my Silver Bullet on all weekend. But I have been playing with Photoshop, and learning all kinds of things that have eluded me in the past. Things just seemed to click for me this weekend for what I have been wanting to be able to do. I started to create some digital papers. I did post images of my first set on my blog already, so you can check them out there. But after I did those... I wanted to try some different things, and here is one of the papers I came up with. I want to work on some other papers, using different colors, but the same elements again, to see what else I can come up with.

I just wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow morning... I want to stay home and play instead.
I have been having a lot of fun and plan to start creating my own papers to use for my projects, now that I know a bit more about how to do things in Photoshop.

Thank you everyone... I was working on some more papers tonight, and here is another one I came up with I decided to go a bit more vintagey. It's not ready to post on my blog yet, but I wanted to share... LOL I am just having too much fun.

Retta, I will be posting it on my blog, but I didn't have time last night. I just started working on this paper last night before I went to bed, and stayed up way to late to make a blog post about it. LOL I haven't decided if I want/need to tweak it a bit more yet. I just wish I didn't have to go to work every day.... LOL

Thanks Gigi and Whizzy. I'm finally figuring out what to do with all the images I've been downloading from the Graphics Fairy. LOL

Thanks Ladies!!!
LisaH I have actually thought about maybe doing some designing after I retire. Figured if I start now and learn how to use Photoshop, and see if any one likes what I create.. it may just be something to seriously think about doing once I retire.

They both look great Diane! Thanks for showing us! One of those things on my long list to do - learn to do my own digi paper. Too bad that I need to sleep, I could get so much more done. Sad thing is not only do I need my sleep, but I need more than my DH who thinks 6 hours are good! LOL

Work sure does get in the way!! Already it use to. I'm having fun too. Need to share in a little while. Well if I have one on my phone I will share one, and in the magic of email, ya didn't miss me! I forgot I couldn't add it from my iPhone. Shoot! Well I am having issues with IE 9 and my Internet provider. Don't want to download another browser!! Anywho, having fun, hope you are all playing too!

Glad you are having fun, Retta! I found some time to play with making digital papers, too. Nothing "share-worthy" yet, though.
