Barefoot n' Polished Header

Click the image to enlarge

Wow! Customizing header is making me really busy... busy, busy as a bee..

So today, I just finished another one for Barefoot n' Polished and it only took me a day, couple of hours actually. Some inspiration going here. Usually when I'm on a roll, I can finish it in one day. But there are times that I just stare on my monitor and I can't find any inspiration to make any design.

Hopefully she will like it. :)

Liquify Mesh- Wordless Wednesday (Tuesday Edition)

This is so exciting for me. I been messing up with Photoshop lately trying to learn how to use it so I don't have to use 2-3 programs when I'm doing some designs and I came across with the Liquify function. You can find it on your Menu Bar - Filter -Liquify or by using shorcut keys SHIFT + CTRL + X.

So I played with it a little bit and this is how it turns out.

This is the original photo.

It's amazing how its turns out..

My very first digital kit - In the Making

For the past couple of days now I have been trying to put together a digital kit for scrap booking. However, I can't seem to find the write combination of embellishments, fonts, papers and elements but hopefully I will get there. I have a few ideas that I have put together already and I think it's going to be fantastic once I finished putting it all together.

Check out the digital kit as I put it together. Once everything has been put together it should be available for download here in my blog for let's say... credits. Just mention where you got the kit (with link to my blog) on your post and that's it.

This is the current combinations that I have so far. I may still removed some ( definitely will be removing some that don't fit on the kit) and will be adding some more designs.

So what do you all think about the combination so far? Let me know by leaving me a comment.

I would certainly love a header, you have a real touch for them don't you? I am looking at the ones in the sidebar "some of my works"

How generous of you to offer

Your headers are beautiful and I'd LOVE one. My blog is really a very simple one and only seen by a few people at this point so I can understand if I don't qualify.

As a past 'avid scrapbooker' your 'artistic gift' is so perfect. Someday, perhaps, I'll venture into the world of computer graphics. Your designs are inspiring! Keep up the great work.

I love beachy and whimsical yet jewelry/fashion focused - perhaps pearls would work best?

thanks so much,
Nancy

I live near the beach and it has lovely white sand, clear blue water, lots of activities happening on it. I want a header which has something to do with the beach. :)

Thanks!
