Hockey Desktop Calendar

Something a little different from me today. This photo was taken when my son was in the hospital, a few of the Penguins players paid him a visit. I can't tell you how excited he was!

I made some time to play in Photoshop this morning, created a quick desktop wallpaper calender. Used lots of Grungy Brushes from Amanda Rockwell, some elements from Shabby Princess. 

I made the calender brush and the team logo in the background. I went to the team FB page this morning, they posted a message with the Logo about 20 minutes prior. LOL It's exactly what I was looking for!  Lowered the opacity a bit so it blends into the background paper.

The hockey player pattern file is from ScrappyDew. Exported him from MTC as a transparent PNG so I could use the file in Photoshop. I could waste so much time playing in Photoshop. I almost stopped using it completely when I started creating with my cutting machine. I'm slowly getting back into using it again.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Playing in Photoshop

Today I spent some time playing in Photoshop. It's about 2 years since I've created a digi layout. I'm so rusty! LOL I purchased some new vintage overlays by Nancie Rowe Janitz yesterday. 

Working in Photoshop relaxes me, I can spend hours creating and tweaking. All my brushes, actions, textures etc. are on another computer, so I had limited supplies to work with on my laptop downstairs. I just needed some time to think and play. LOL

This is my son Gunnar, we were at a state park. He's throwing leaves at me.

Supplies used: Jofia Devoe The Smell of Summer

Bkerr Lullaby 

Amanda Rockwell April 2010 Overlays

Nancie Rowe Janitz Dreamy 6 Vintage Overlays

Bintys Twi Meadow Mask

I know this is not craft related, but just wanted to share. 

Thanks for looking.

Free FaceBook Timeline Cover Templates

Are you looking for some great Timeline Covers for FaceBook? Annie from Paint the Moon has some free templates for Photoshop for a limited time.

I don't know Annie personally, I first met her through Digital Scrapbooking years ago. She was designing kits and then started to create Actions and Textures for photos. She is an amazing photographer!! Be sure to check out her blog Here You can purchase Actions and Textures for your photos on her blog. I have a couple of her sets, they are wonderful!

 

You can also check out her Facebook page Here. If you love photography, you'll enjoy her work. 

 

I have been away from Digital Scrapbooking for some time now. I miss playing with my photos and creating layouts you just can't create doing Traditional Scrapbooking. They both have their good and bad points. LOL

Have a great Day!
