Upcoming tutorials…

by

I thought it would be nice to give you a glimpse at what I am working on. Here are some tutorials in the works that, I hope, are a little different from the average scrapbooking tutorial you might find. The ideas for the tutorials related to different video game or mobile electronic devices really originated with my husband and his request that I make some digital scrapbook pages that he could access in different ways.

Scrapbooking for TV Viewing - Seriously cool. Scrapbook pages optimized for the Nintendo Wii and X-Box 360

Using GIMP for Digital Scrapbooking- This free open source program is my choice for photo editing and scrapbooking more often than not. I have commercial programs, but I love the GIMP.

Noontime Quote of the Day

Press close, bare-bosomed Night! Press close, magnetic,
nourishing Night!
Night of south winds! Night of the large, few stars!
Still, nodding Night! Mad, naked, Summer Night!

And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer quite the other way
I have to go to bed by day.”
