Digital Watercoloring in Photoshop Tutorial

Before I started working on the elements for my portion of the July CAKE, I thought I would share a layout with you.  Below you will find the link to the tutorial.  There are so many variations of what you could do with this tut.

Using a paper I created for the May challenges at Digitals, ExtraOrdinary, Ordinary Day, I tried this new tutorial that a designer friend of mine, Cilenia Curtis mentioned. Took me all afternoon messing around with it and it is still not exactly the way I wanted or was trying for. I'll keep practicing! Practice makes perfect, so they say! :D Tut is here: http://ozone.oscraps.com/?p=2654.  Why don't you give it a try?

Thanks for stopping by Today!  Blessings to you!

Bee a Blessing FREEbie for You!

Hi Everyone!
A quick update on my DH that some of you have been praying about his cancer situation.  After his surgery about 3 weeks ago, he is getting stronger and stronger every day, Praise the Lord!  I am having to change the dressing 3 times a day, which is a nasty ordeal for this no-so-nursey gal, LOL!  BUT, you do LOTS of things for your loved ones that you would NEVER dream of doing any other time, right?!  So, it's all good and I'm just praising the Lord that he is doing well!  Thanks again for those prayers.  He will have to have more surgery later on to remove the cancerous lymph nodes.  One day at a time!  :D

Now, on to the real reason you are here today!  FREEBIE!!!  :D

Thanks so much to Judith, my CTM, for creating this frame cluster from my "Bee a Blessing" kit!  She does wonderful work, don't you agree?!  Thanks, J!  XOXOXOXO

Just click on the preview and it's yours!
