design work

Here's why I love my mac. :) Hope you like the end results as much as I did. (My services are for sale.)

You DO have a mac. I was wondering. Does that mean you design your own Christmas cards each year as well? You are better than Shutterfly, my dear.

They are all WONDERFUL!! Do you buy your backgrounds, etc from the internet or are they in a computer program? I would love to watch you do this.

No, I always create my own backgrounds, usually pulling colors from the pictures themselves and then embellishing somehow with whatever seems to work. For the boys pics this year, I think all the backgrounds were created using a font called Kitchen Tiles. I made a graphic out of a certain shape and then repeated it. Easy peesy. But, I think you'd get highly bored watching...just ask Beth - for one picture I might change things around a thousand times just to get things "right." Or try this, then try that. Sometimes you just have to walk away and say, "It's done!"

Okay, I'll take your word for it on "easy peesy". :p
