Scrapbooking & Old Photos

I will be so happy when I get my new computer.It is almost impossible to do 12x12 layouts.That hourglass just doesn't want to stop running.I have discovered if I scrap at 8x8 which is the size I print I can scrapbook most things .Boy, it will be unbelievable to be able to scrap fast! Brent is going to help me buy my computer since he is looking for a new one too.I have one in mind at Dell already.Waiting to see if any specials come out or if Costco etc. have what I need.No hurry cause this computer working- just too slow for digiscrapping.

Most of the photos of my kids were taken in the 70's .Photos's taken in 60's & 70's are the worse quality in history of photography.Something to do with type of film etc used at that time. My photos reflect this.They are unclear and fading . I understand one technique to use with these poor photos is to take just part of the photo to use.(Can put on elements,use as background paper , etc.

I need a new computer

I don't know why I am so hesitant to just go and get one.I think it is because it is so much work to get hooked up to ISP ,redo addressbook & favorites etc that once running you have for years.But that is not it either.I just want to get one that will be up to par for several years and that means no specials or deals are available.This one working good just too slow for my digital scrapbooking.And of course my video card is not good enough for the lastest high end gaming.Therefore upgrading ram and video card not cost effective.

Happy Halloween

I made this pumpkin from scratch and it wasn't easy!

The tutorial I used was an older version then my program

and alot of the instructions did not work.I wish corel would get with it on their user site and update the tutorials for the newer versions.Sally says she is going to get me photoshop elements for Christmas.After wasting so much time trying to do this tutorial it might not be a bad idea since there are so many more tuts for photoshop. I did read on scrapgirls web site a comment by Ro the founder of the site that the new photoshop elements version 6 is out but has removed some actions dig.scrapbookers use a lot and if this is the case PSP in the future may be up in sales. I gotta tell Sally to get version 5 if she still thinks she wants to buy me this for Christmas. I am conflicted about changing programs because of the learning curve and I feel loyal to PSPug site.
