Turning
an Art Image into a Calling Card
by Celia

|
|

Well, you can sure tell what I made it for. Not
that it's a big guess. I'm out signing guestbooks with it even as
you read this. I didn't follow the instructions, I basically copied
the picture and used a Gaussian blur instead. Sometimes dragging the
background can look a little funky and you have to think of
something new.
Happy Holidays! |

Making
a Snow Globe
by
Geoff's Graphics |
|
|
|
|
|
This was the one I did straight from the
tutorial. I used a picture called "Winter" by Alphonse
Mucha as the background which turned out surprisingly well. The
base has me a little annoyed, but I know how to use that
"deform" tool, and fixed it so more of the globe
showed than the base. I think it balanced it better. |
|
|
So then I made one of my own. I had a hard
time with pictures for these. I'm a Spring kind of a gal, not a
Winter. However, I had this lingering from an award set I was
making and didn't use.
I nearly used "paw prints" as the
snow, which was SO cute...but not very Christmassy. I used a
Gaussian Blur of 1 on the snow flake layers, to smooth them out
and make them look less like dots.
I used Blade Pro "Glass" to smooth
the base out, then added an inner drop shadow to
"round" it a little better. As for the poinsettia...what
can I say. It's a thing this year. There's a story there.
Besides, it made a great splotch of color and a good attraction
for the entire globe. |

Week of December 1 - 7
Create a web page for your assignments and a
membership button for the member quilt. |
| |
|
Well, since I did the assignment creating the WotW PSP
pages, I decided to cheat and use my favorite web set from my personal
site, the Fifth House. I created this set for my WotW gifts and badges
and whatever, but I just don't think I use it enough. But that's how
much I like it. |
| |
|
I did use the tutorial to create the pages for the
WotW PSP Community, so you can look there
for that. Thanks again to Ronni of Ronni Designs for allowing us to use
her great tutorial.
Making
a Page Set with Tubes and Tables

I created a membership quilt button for the members
page. Okay, I created the "dummy" ones too, which were almost
more fun. Here they are, for your enjoyment. |

And that ends the first week's assignments. |
