Christmas Delight

This is such a special time of the year 

when we can focus on the real meaning of Christmas.

To help you remember and to be thankful, 

I created eight different scenes.

Check out my video on YouTube.

Watercolor Effect

I'm always looking for new ways to make creative pictures. Have been wanting to do a watercolor effect. Yeah! Found it on YouTube.

This same process can be done in either Photoshop or Elements. So easy and fun to do.

• Photos

Now it's your turn. Give it a try.

Colorful Days

"October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came--

The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The sunshine spread a carpet,

And every thing was grand;

Miss Weather led the dancing;

Professor Wind, the band..."

--George Cooper, "October's Party"

Check out the video on the side panel that gives more of these graphics. It is called "Autumn--Colorful Days."

Digital Scrapbooking Techniques

There are so many different techniques that can be applied to digital scrapbooking pages that help to give a creative flair. Here are some examples of three of those.

• Using elements from a purchased kit

• Working with a template

• Adding photos

Whichever technique you use, or a combination, digital scrapbooking allows for a great amount of flexibility and creativity. Have some fun and give it a try.

A Tribute to Dads

Any man can be a father, 

but it takes someone special to be a DAD.

A father is someone you look up to 

no matter how big you get.

A father's guiding hand 

will remain a constant source of comfort.

To have a father that believes in you 

is a very special gift.

Good fathers are great encouragers.

It is much easier to become a father 

than it is to become a great dad.

A Time to Remember

Memorial Day is a special time to remember those who perished while serving our country. 

Thank you to all those who fought and died for our freedom.

"As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars."--John M. McHugh

"The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country earns them our lasting gratitude."--Jeff Miller

Those fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who  has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror."--Michael N. Castle

How blessed we are to live in such a countray we always bateful
