Adobe Photoshop Digital Collage Practice

My goal this summer is to gain a better understanding and ability in using Adobe Photoshop. Here is a collage I put together using lots of different elements and brushes. Fun to do! And with Adobe Illustrator, I was able to copy my font for the tag and make the capital F & S much more ornate with Illustrator's "glyphs" palette.
Celebrating 32 years of marriage today! Went and had a pedicure at the Coldwater Creek Spa; true luxury! Dan is going to have his first session with my trainer at 24 Hour Fitness. What better way to celebrate 32 years but with a commitment to get in shape and hopefully stay healthy for another 32!!

Adobe Photoshop Exercise

I have been practicing with Adobe Photoshop using The Scrapper's Guide DVD. Her instructions are real easy to follow. This was fun to create. I used a vintage photo I accumulated from somewhere, and then used the great graphics that Cottage Arts has for download. There is so much to learn with Photoshop. So many secrets of manipulation! The DVD I am using is very helpful.
