I am for the most part, over my cold. My DH took my daughter and I to a Sunday breakfast this morning. It is a lovely, sunny day. The birds are very active, and as we drove through the barren wheat fields, the hawks and owls were on high alert, searching the ground for rodents.
I had a lovely plate of strawberry crepes for breakfast. I could only eat one of the three because they were so rich - but melt in your mouth perfect. We watched a fat squirrel scout the parking lot for leftovers, as we sat there enjoying a lazy breakfast.
We came home and I put together a crock pot of chili, then we watched the football playoffs. As we watched the games, I completed a few more lessons at Hummies World.
This first set was a lesson in learning how to blend two or more of your own papers to create a new set of papers. It is a technique that I enjoy very much.
The next lesson was on making stickers. Hummie teaches the student to place a gradient over the face of the stickers to make them look like a rippled piece of paper. I think my favorite is the crab. The color and the happy smile draws me to it.
The next lesson was on placing text in the background of your papers. I find that I prefer text that is faded, and grungy - almost erased in selected areas.
The latest lesson I completed was on making bottlecaps. I haven't used them in my own scrapping papers, but I can see how they can add a different flavor to the kit design.
The final upload for today was a lesson on making papers with your own photos. You use various filters to blend the photos into a pleasing paper. I used a photo of an Alaska Fireweed.
I hope that there is something here that you can use! As always I appreciate your comments and encouragement.

You make me want to do this course! what did you use for the text? I always want to know what the text is all about when I see it! Was the text done in white? I have used photographs for background by using gaussian blur, but yours are amazing. I'd love to know which filters you used. I'm glad your cold is better. By the way we call that flower rosebay willowherb.

ReplyDeletethank you Sunny for your freebies! my favorites are the papers!
ReplyDeleteHey Sunny I found you via Pixel Scrapper freebie forum. Thanks so much for these awesome goodies. Loving that paper. Now I noticed in your TOU with the files that you state to visit the blog for the full TOU but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there a special post you did that I am missing? I've subscribed to the comments by email so you can just answer me here or email me, whichever is easier for you.
