12 x 12 Layout Ideas -


New Year's Eve 2011 –


This was a fun layout to do. I was looking through my old Creating Keepsakes magazines and came across a tutorial on creating a circle template. I took the challenge since I'm trying to learn a little something new at a time. I like the way it turned out. I had to work out a few kinks along the way.

I've created a video tutorial for you - learn how to create a circle photo collage in Photoshop Elements

Real Life...Getting Sidetracked : ) -

My youtube subscribers will remember that I as I was working on the second layout for this edition I decided that I needed some more Photoshop skills/learning...so I'm planning to work on that 30 minutes at a time using a video class I found over at TwoPeasinaBucket.com. So, stay tuned on how that progresses. All that to say, I'm only bringing you one layout this month but I'm glad I was able to do a video tutorial. Hope you had fun with it and you can create your own circle collage!


Wanna learn digital? See how I started!


What about next month?

I've thought about working on my rolodex album a bit more and showing you all about that or maybe just some stuff that I've learned from the digital class I'm planning to work on? We'll see...stay tuned to Youtube to find out.

Until sometime around the middle of February…
