Hi all, it's been a few days since I posted. I took a bit of a break from the computer and spent most of my time on personal projects (if you're interested you can read more about those projects on my personal blog.

Figured everyone must be tired by now of all the Obama digital stuff so here's a little something to use on those fun bath time pages that we all make at one time or another -- every child's scrapbook's got at least one!

It's FREE so just click on the image to download. Enjoy!

Obama Digital Scrapbook Paper-Andy Warhol Inspired

My fourth custom-designed Obama digital scrapbook paper. I love the Andy Warhol look; it's very graphic, colorful, and definitely different. It's 12x12 in size, .JPG format, and 300 dpi.

You can get it right here, right now for just One American Dollar!
$1.00

If more things were just one dollar maybe we wouldn't need an economic stimulus package at all!

Digital Photo Modification - Adding a Bridal Bouquet

The beautiful bride. This is my daughter-in-law, Dianna, on her wedding day. This photo is her mom's favorite, and one that she (Terry) wants to have enlarged and framed. While at Terry's house on Christmas Day she showed me a large photo of herself on her own wedding day. She and Dianna could have been twins, they looked that much alike. And the way they were posed, with a mirror behind them, and pretty furniture and flowers nearby, was so similar it was eerie!

Except for one thing.

Terry had her bridal bouquet in her hands. Dianna doesn't. The photographer, Jeff Fassett, took photos with and without the flowers and it just happened that the photo that looks most like Terry's is one without the bouquet. Isn't that just the way things happen sometimes!

Well, Terry really wanted THAT photo but WITH the bouquet. Dianna had told Terry about my little biz of digital scrapbooking and that I also did photo restoration, repair, and modifications. Terry asked me, did I think I could add the bouquet??

But, of course!

I have all the digital photos from Jeff already because I'm going to be creating Rodrigo and Dianna's wedding album (which I'll be starting on January 29th while at a scrapbooking retreat in Pacific Grove, CA.) so I started looking through the pictures for one that had a bouquet I could "lift."
I found this one (above), where Dianna is standing in an almost identical pose, but with her bridal bouquet in her hands. Perfect!

I pulled both photos into a new Photoshop document and layered Dianna without her bouquet over Dianna with her bouquet. Then using a layer mask and a small, soft brush I "painted" over the areas of the top photos with black to allow the bouquet to show through. I had to zoom in quite close at times to deal with the eensy fronds of fern and the tiny blossoms that cascade down the front of Dianna's dress, as well as make sure the appropriate shadows came through as well. A little bit painstaking, but very fun!
I think the result is quite nice, what do you think?

If you have a similar situation, or a photo with distracting backgrounds, or an old photo with cracks and dirt, or whatever, call me and let's talk! Toll-free anytime: (866) 521-DIGI (3444).

Digital Scrapbook Paper - Barack Obama

If you missed the freebie paper, or have already purchased one paper and want one or both of the others, here they are in a set, for just $2.49! Each paper normally sells (on my website) for $1.00 each, so this is a deal. Just use the Buy Now button below.

There is more Obama paper and Word Art to come in the next few days. I hope to also get some embellishments created, too, as well as another patriotic-style alpha, I'm thinking a more formal looking one. Basically, I'm just letting my imagination take over and seeing where it takes me.

So, if you have anything in mind, Obama-style, that you'd like to see, that would really make your Inauguration 2009 pages complete, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. I always love a challenge!

I'd love to see any layouts you make with my digital designs, so don't hesitate to email them to me, or send me a link to where they are posted.

Happy scrapping, and be sure to check back for more fun stuff!
