Name Game.... A.P.R.


So here is my entry for A.P.R.'s
"BOOKMARK"
Challenge.

Doesn't really look like a bookmark does it,
it's a tad stout....
I decided to give colouring with Photoshop a shot, I was having such fun creating the sketch that I forgot I was to make it long and narrow, not short and stout...Oh well...there are no REAL RULES are there....LOL

I started this adventure using "LINED" paper...whew! so glad to find out that I can write on lined paper and scan it in as "black and white" and presto zumo...no lines....
Of course I couldn't paint or use markers it wouldn't scan through without lines.... so thats when I decided to try the Photoshop route.
ALOT more flippin work....dumb mouse wouldn't pay attention, and my laptop mouse was cat-napping....
But all in all, I am relatively satisfied.
I still prefer good ol' ink or paint.

I see that I have reverted somewhat back to my old boring lettering, I must watch for that....LOL

Kaleidoscope Magic♥

FUNNY STORY. . .  I was putting this post together for WOYWW. . .but low-and-behold "Stamping Ground" forgot all about it being Wednesday and didn't Post WOYWW, so I just posted as normal. . . .
DUH!!! Today is TUESDAY. . . I need Midol !!!
So here is my WOYWW Post -for real.

I found a new toy. . . 
Well I found a new option button in my program.
I don't really use the program for much more then resizing my art or adding watermarks to them, but I quite accidentally found an {{{option}}}.
I was having so darn much fun creating kewl images from my art. . . . 
So I thought I would share, it was just too fun to keep to myself.

A.P.R.-Dark and Light -sorta :0)


Light and Dark was our challenge this week.
I had pictured that I would do a black and white with just a hint of colour, I could almost see it behind my eye lids....
But. . . . I just got so darn carried away with my new {{{MARKERS}}}, now they aren't the famous "Copics or even Prismacolours"....they are a Walmart special "Bic Mark-it"
I couldn't even begin to phathom purchasing those, the last time I used markers was in grade 10 Geography ( I loved colouring maps)

{{{Shocker}}} because I'm sure you're Shocked its a flower...LOL
 So Shocker is what I did this evening to enter into the challenge. . . not really what I pictured as light and dark. . .but it does have shading (which is dark) and I do love shading.

 Forgive me veering off the challenge path
Have a great weekend!
Many Blessings,
