COREL PAINTSHOP PHOTO PRO X3

I learned something new with my Corel program.  I have had it for a while and just keep learning a little bit and then I use it and then I go back to learn some more.  Today I learned how to take a color photo, change it to black and white and then add a touch of color back in.  I found a picture on a blog that I really liked for a kitchen and what I want my kitchen to look like. I hope you enjoy this and if you are looking for a great photo editing software, I would so suggest this program.

BEFORE W/ ALL COLOR

AFTERWARDS WITH JUST A TOUCH OF COLOR!

Happy Easter

I wanted to try the technique called Bum pain background found on the videos on My Digital Studio.  I was just playing around and wanted to try the circle instead of the square as I wanted hills.  So I was just going through the downloads and decided on a few from my Easter section.  I hope you enjoy!

MDS BIRTHDAY CARDS

I made a couple of quick and simple cards on MDS for birthdays.  One is A little bird told me and the other is Whoo's birthday .  I cased the original design from Lesley at Always Playing with Paper. I just love MDS and I hope you enjoy!

MONSTER HIGH

My daughter Kaley had a birthday party to attend today.  We went shopping and one of the things we got for her friend was this MONSTER HIGH purse.  So when we got home, I made the card to go with the purse using the Stampin Up set JUST JAWING.  I made some alterations, but tried to make it as close to the purse as possible.  I took the pictures (see below), and there was a ton of items in the background, so I was playing with my COREL system and managed to come up with the layout below using my MDS and some fun fonts I downloaded. I hope you enjoy!



SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: just jawing
PAPER: bright pink, whisper white
INK: black stazon, basic black stampin write marker
Misc: black embossing powder, ribbon and rhinestones from stash
