Sad News

I have some sad news for You all today. My friend's dad

passed away after a long fight with cancer yesterday afternoon

after having a seizure Friday night. He had just gone into remission

and contracted an infection and He slowly grew worst. Alot of You

know this friend. Her name is Lisa but goes by the name of

Aleah'sMommy. I am asking that if You can afford to help

out with a donation that it be sent to her email. I know the

medical bills for his cancer were astronomical and as We all

know the costs for funerals and arrangements will only triple

that bereavement upon this poor family. Her uncle is also

fighting cancer but isn't expected to make it much longer and

this is Her Dad's Brother so she's had one very very hard year.

You may send Your donations to hottlildevil110584@yahoo.com.

I think You from the bottom of My heart if You can help during

Lisa's time of need. This was an unexpected occurence by all

of Us as He was getting much better and healthier.

Hello Everybody

As many of You know I had thought to dabble in

the scrapping world a bit more other than to just

write tutorials.

Well I have begun and have started another blog.

This doesn't mean I won't be writing tutorials

anymore it just means I will be adding more to

what I normally do for You all. I hope You all understand

and might even visit and snag up some freebie's I have

posted and show Me what You make with them. Anyhow

You can find Me at My Hide Away. I hope to hear from

You all over there.

Autumn Splendor

You will need the following supplies for this tutorial.

Scrap Kit by Cindy.

It's called Autumn Splendor.

Thank You Cindy for allowing Me to use Your

kits in My tutorials -hugs and kisses-.

If You can't get this kit any will do.

Tube of choice. I am using a tube by the

wonderful artist Christine Kotlark.

You can find Her tubes at MPT.

Please don't use any of Her work without

the proper license.

Font of choice.

Open an new image 800x800. I know it's big but You can

crop or resize it later. Make sure it's transparent.

From the kit find a frame You like. Open it and go to

edit copy and edit paste as a new layer on Your

transparent image. If Your using the same kit

You'll have to resize the frame by 85 percent so to

to image resize all layers unchecked and resize it by

85 percent.

With Your magic tool click inside the frame. If Your using

the kit I am You'll have to hold down the shift key

while selecting all the area's around the pumpkin and leaves.

Selections modify expand by 10 or so. Now go to edit paste

as a new layer. Selections invert

and tap on the delete key on Your keyboard.

Selections select none. Pull this paper layer below Your

frame layer. You might have a missing piece in the frame so

use Your magic wand and click it or use Your shift key to

select multiple one's and go to selections modify expand by 10

or so again and do the delete step again.

Now make sure the layer that You just did if You had a

missing piece go to layers merge down be sure either

one of the paper layers is chosen when You do the merge.

Go to Your tube. Copy and paste it as a new layer. On My tube

I had to resize it by 160 percent to go with the size of the

frame. Slide the tube under the frame layer and with

Your eraser tool erase any of the overlap.

Effects 3D Effects Drop Shadow vertical and horizontal 2

opacity 55 blur 10.00 and the color black.

Repeat this drop shadow with the horizontal and the vertical

set to 0.

Now We'll begin to add any of the elements from the kit

that We like. I used a journal box that came inside

the kit and resized it a bit then erased the overlap once again

as We did our main tube. Give it the same drop shadow

with the 0 settings.

I added a word art and some leaves that came with the kit

and gave it the same drop shadows as above. I also

added Cindy's name to the tag. I used Fountain Pen and

as always created it as a vector and then converted it to a raster

layer and added a drop shadow to it. I also then added that

same drop shadow to My frame.

I added the artist's copyright and My license number and then

resized My tag to 500x500 pixels all layers checked and

merged visible. Save as png and Your all done.

I Make The Rules

You will need the following things for this tutorial.

Template 19 by MelissaV. You can find it on the

Misfits Blog.

Just search under templates.

Scrap Kit of choice or the one I'm using by Missy.

It's called Breast Cancer Awareness.

This kit is available in both tagger and full sizes.

Tube of choice. I am using the awesome work of Ismael

Rac. You can find His tubes on AMI.

Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow (optional text only).

This tag is made with two very special ladies that I have loved

dearly all My life. My Grandmother was diagnosed with

breast cancer before I was born and beat it. The odds back then

were very low compared to now. My Mother also was diagnosed with

breast cancer and had a masectomy. I almost lost Her not due to the cancer

itself but to infection afterwards. I have almost lost Her twice in My life

and I am just grateful to God and those that prayed for Her

recovery and Her inner stubborness because without that I don't think

She would have made out after the infection as well as She did.

I love You Mom.

For those of You that are still young please, please always do Your

examinations and get those Mammogram's. They are so important

and can detect the cancer in it's earliest stages.

Enchanted Secrets

You will need these things to complete this tutorial.

Scrap Kit of choice or the one I'm using By

Missy Lynn.

It's called Enchanted Secrets. It comes

in both tagger and full size.

Mask 169 by the wonderful Chelle.

You will need to download that pack of masks

but they are so worth the download.

Don't forget to leave her some love when getting

this mask.

Tube of choice. I will be using Missy Lynn's tubes.

Font of choice.

Open a new blank canvas 800x800. I know it's big

but You can resize it later. Open the tube and

mask in psp. Flood fill Your canvas with a color or

gradient of choice. I used a gradient angle 0 repeats

1 invert checked and style linear.

Go to layers new mask layer and load choose the image

You have open in psp. source luminance checked the

other without checks. If it doesn't look right to

You then You may have to invert the mask. I had to

load Mine from disk as I have My psp pointing to

My masks from elsewhere.

Now in Your layer palette delete the mask layer and

click on the other mask layer and merge group. Now

You just need to place all Your elements from the

kit that would go with it and slide each under the

window layer. I didn't give any a drop shadow

this time as I wanted to keep it somewhat of

a magical feel type tag. I did use My eraser

tool where there were overhangs on the edges.

Now click Your font tool and choose a font

You think would go nicely for Your tag and add the name

turn this into a raster layer and add a drop shadow of choice.

Just add Your copyright if You need one and save as png and

Your all done.
