our little signing star

Like the play on words?! ;)

Well here it is, my first quickpage... it wasn't super "quick", in fact it took me all afternoon and most of this evening! I'm a bit disappointed in myself for choosing such christmassy colours, but I'm pleased as punch that I worked out how to turn the greys of the quickpage into their own paper sections (see the link at the bottom of this post for the quickpage as I received it).

Since Stefan (DH), has upgraded our computer, it is now running beautifully and doesn't struggle with any big files and having multiple programmes open at once, which is great. We also now have Photoshop Elements 6, which is a huge step up from the old version of Photoshop that I was trying to teach myself!

I was able to fudge my way around and work out how to get the stars to take on the paper I had chosen, only referring to the help section once (which didn't help that particular time!).

Now that I'm starting to get the hang of the programme and how to go about things, I'm sure there will be many more pages to follow. I have been downloading some great freebie bits and pieces from all over the internet. It's just a matter of finding time to use them! My free time during the day has been spent lately with me having a nap (I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and toi-ed!) and the evening I usually spend with my hubby. It's just a matter of being more productive with the free time I do have, I guess.

I really enjoy doing this and hope you liked my 3rd page! I might go on a font hunt soon and find some new and interesting ones to use too :)

Be sure to go and check out pie scraps... she has used the same quickpage to do her own layout and it looks great! :) I've got a signing star and she has singing stars! Cute eh?!
