Digital Scrap-booking Layouts

Trying to get back to crafting after a few months absence, is proving tricky for various reasons, firstly my health, and then the fact my craft-room is back in boxes ( I KNOW SIGH ) so new windows could be fitted, and fitted they are all apart from that room as the window cracked as they fitted it :0.

Hopefully all will be fixed this Friday and i can get back in and hopfully get some craft/design time started ...

In the meantime i have been playing with Digital Layouts using template challenges from the Facebook group Learning Digital Scrap-booking and Challenges  the group of my old friend Hummie.

Template 1 - My Cookie monster having cuddles
( ok she doesnt eat cookies lol but you could munch on her she so adorable ;) ) 

Template 2 - My fathers business, a huge part of my life back then.

Hummie's Blending Modes Tutorial

I recently found the Facebook page of an old acquaintance from Years ago,
Hummie from Hummie's World, I used to love her group so i jumped back in both feet first lol

Now she teaches Photoshop, and I don't do Photoshop although I am starting to try again, in my spare time, but for this one i cheated ( Sorry Hummie) and used Paint Shop Pro to do her tutorial ;P

Blending Modes Tutorial

 I started with a snap of a bird i took in my garden last year, and set to work now can i remember what i did Hmmmmm




Controls in layer pallet are similar in both programs so you should be able to follow this :)

and this is my finished piece :)
