Still here.

I cut everything back hard thinking the move would be hectic it turned out to be the correct choice.
3 months with no internet. It was quite nice actually.

I entered a challenge.

Yes; after months of avoiding any challenge. I caved and entered the template challenge over at Scrap That Idea. Here is my layout using Vicki's Pompey Blues Kit.

Halloween.

I think it's the only time of the year when it's ok to say that is so ugly I must download it.

A great free collab kit.

I'm so excited about this

Marif from poppylium and Vicki from AWP Vicki have collaborated on a kit. It is called Pop Shop.
I like it a lot. They are both very talented designers.

Here are the previews.

First Marif's

And now Vicki's
Click on the previews to go to their blogs.

And here is the layout I made with Marif's portion of the kit. Mount Tranaki enshrouded in cloud at sunset. It looks as if Tranaki is waking from his slumber.

4 shared hacked.

Apparently 4shared was hacked earlier today. So I'm deleting my files and will upload new files tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience. It's a pity because I had a metal alpha I had made with an action by atomic cupcake all uploaded for sharing.

A lovely kit. Motoring.

I have been a very bad CT member. Spring has come early and I ended up on lots of very nasty tasting medications and unable to scrap.

However I would like to point out to everybody that Marif's newest kit is available for download from her blog. It's called motoring and is very cute.

Here is the preview. It is linked


I hope spring settle down soon. I doubt it on of the joys of a cold hard winter is an early spring with lots of flowers. So many are out already and it's only august.

Adobe CS4.

I don't like trailing new programs. Because as soon as the new program is installed something will prevent me from accessing the computer for a few weeks. Anyway I downloaded CS4 because I wanted to try the text to path option.

I tried it read the tutorials etc. And then the battery of my computer lost it's charge. And the internal clock was reset. I was able to restart my trial from where I left off.

While I'm not rushing out to buy Cs4. I have PSE7 and it's so much more scrapbooking friendly. I don't think I would use the traditional CS interface for long periods of time without getting very frustrated with it. I would not be adverse to trailing other adobe products due to the sane way they present their trials.

Thanks adobe it was fun.

Atomic cupcake.

Just a quick post to say. I'm beginning to fall in love with her actions. A few months ago my goal was to figure out the most efficient way to do something without needing actions.

And I've learnt a lot of shortcuts. But the thing about doing it all by hand it's too easy to forget a step. Sometimes it's nice to run an action and know when it's finished it will be just right.

I have got to upgrade so I can write my own actions.
