Frame-0016 - Candy Love

ARTWORK : ©Arthur Crowe AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT : http://www.arthurcrowesfactory.com/store/
So I have been trying some new things lately. I am trying to get some new skills under my belt so I can make something fresh. Today I made the curly ribbon you see on the frame and from there it evolved into the frame I am sharing with you today. Now I bought AV Bros plug-in a few years ago to be able to make ribbons etc, but honestly that plug-in overwhelms me and I have never been overly successful in creating variety. So I decided to try Adobe Illustrator. It scares the heck out of me because it is so different. So I made the ribbon in Illustrator and then did everything else in PSP. LOL  Cuz that's what I am comfortable with.  SO... I am offering up this frame. I think it's a fun one... I also whipped up a bunch of extras that you can snag if you want. You can find them all in My Fotki Album "The Snag Shack" You'll find a bunch of snags there. Feel free to check them all out. So I am offering this frame as a simple png file... so all you need to do is right click on it and choose "Save As" or whatever option your browser gives you. Please feel free to share it and colorize it... whatever you want... All I ask is that you don't claim it as your own... and maybe recommend people come check out my blog. Not necessary... but why not?  Enjoy!
Enjoy, Create, Dream! Jaided

Frame-0011 - Versatility

So… I had an idea in my mind for a frame. So I started to do some doodling and the result ended up nothing close to what I started out doing. But that’s how it goes sometimes. I like it when my brain just goes in it’s own direction. I have to be honest, I am pretty impressed by this one. Sure it is simple in it’s own right, but this was made 100% from scratch. No Preset shapes etc… all hand drawn with my mouse. The flower cluster in this frame is tubed from a picture from my own garden. The ribbon was also hand drawn as well. Now another thing I really like about this frame is that I left everything on it’s own layer. This gives you a ton of options to play around with. This is why I made up 3 samples to show off this frame because you aren’t stuck with the way I set it up. You can move things around… or colorize.  You have a darker frame and a lighter frame to use. Great for colorizing bold or mild colors. I also gave you two black frame fills. One covers the whole back of the frame and the other leaves you an edge. The possibilities are endless. Lots of freedom. Colorizing in PSP is simple. Simply click on ADJUST - HUE AND SATURATION - COLORIZE and play around with the settings. Oh… and please feel free to snag the samples if you want. They are larger sized if you click on them. J I hope you like this frame.
This Frame comes with 6 individual layer options.

Yes… a new template. I have been so caught up in doing my mini garden and the sun and friends that I haven’t been at the computer long enough to make anything. But I really want to keep adding new content. Well… It’s raining outside, which means staying indoors. So I got to creating. I really like this template. I had fun playing around with it. I hope you like it too.
This template comes in 8 workable layers.

Caged Heat - Template-0008 and 2 Snags

So I started to play around with some stuff. I found this great frame thing in a font pack. I thought it would be really cool to use. But once I got it on canvas and sized up... It was distorted and hard to work with. So I made my own from scratch and changed it up. At least it inspired me and from scratch is more fun anyway. :) Below is how the template will look. There are 6 workable layers. I included some paper backgrounds. The great thing (I think) about this template is that you can just colorize the pieces to match the theme you are going for.  To make it easier on you.... all you have to do in PSP is : ADJUST - HUE AND SATURATION - COLORIZE Then play around with the sliders, or just use the dice.  The possibilities are endless!
Available in PSP and PSD formats. Hope you enjoy.

So the other day I was in a creative mood. I wanted to make a new template. I started creating and stopped to find a font viewing program. Nexus seemed to have had great reviews and it was free. I found a link to download at CNET where I often download stuff. Well once it was installed... my computer shut down and failed to work anymore. I got a HORRIBLE VIRUS!!! Worst one I ever had to deal with really. What annoys me most... is that I have current subscriptions to McAfee virus protection AND a Malware program.. and yet it slipped past them both. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth the money? Anyway... I had to reformat my whole PC. Thankfully I am PC literate enough to be able to do this on my own. Note : NEXUS was not the problem. I found their official website and downloaded the program directly from them and it has been working fine. It's a great program. (Direct link : http://www.xiles.net/nexusfont/) SO... I am back. Cleaned out the PC completely.. re-installed everything and it went much quicker than I expected... so I got back to creating. This was the template I started that day... and I finally got to finish it. I hope you like it.
This template comes in 8 workable layers. The polka dots have no background to them, so you are free to color them or fill them with any pattern you want, or just not use that layer.  The flower doodle petals are a separate layer as well, so you can do the same. Colorize or pattern fill in the flower, or not use the fill layer at all. Options! (One of my favorite words).

Template-0003 - Enveloped + Extras

This was going to be a frame….  I guess it still is,  but I made it into a Template instead of designing it up as a frame.  The reason why I went that way is because I thought it would be better to give you the chance to colorize and change things to fit your style and your tag.  Like I always say…  I like giving people options.   Remember, an easy way to alter the colors is : ADJUST – HUE AND SATURATION – COLORIZE. I know a lot of you know that already… but in case anyone new to PSP comes along and finds this post they will know this tip.

Around the Way - Template-0002 and Extras.

I was trying to decide what I wanted to work on today. I ended up thinking a new template would be good. This template is just a mere 3 pieces. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but it gives you more chances to create around it. Sometimes templates overwhelm me with all the pieces they have. They are fantastic, don’t get me wrong, but I have A.D.D. and it just gets to me. So this is a nice and simple one, but I think you will enjoy it. The two squares have perspective applied, so they are not just plain old squares. The wrap around arrow can be moved around and altered to your needs. It’s really just meant to be a start point for you… then let your imagination go wild!
