Stake Your Claim Elements

So here are the Elements. Someone liked the smaller downloads, so this one has the grey frame and the paper frame and all the miner's tools, rocks, etc. Strike Your Claim Elements. And I numbered this preview so that you could see which color each of the additional downloads was. Each color has the Rope Border, Brad, Button and Frame. 1. The Beige Elements. 2. The Teal Elements. New Link July 23, 2009 3. The Light Teal Elements. 4. The Brown Elements. 5. The Gold Elements.

Your Name is Mud Papers

I had some photo's of the boys jeepin'. Covered in Mud, but they had been converted to sepia before I got them and I needed some color. My mother used to say this, it meant you were in trouble, big trouble.  Your name is mud papers, Elements and Alpha. Update...I finally realized one evening, watching a program about President Lincoln, that the saying "Your name is Mud", probably came from Dr. Mudd, who set John Wilkes Booth's leg after the assassination of the President. Now that was big trouble!

Mallard

This was where I started.  Mallard Papers. And the Mallard Elements here.

Photoshop Lesson The Burn Tool

So Jack was here last week and really liked the frame in October Fest. The paper is however lighter than the frame. I did this so that if you wanted to use them together they would contrast. But it also left me the opportunity to teach you something new. If you would like to darken or age something you will use The Burn Tool. On you left you will see a clenched hand, select your burn tool. On the top select midtones and try it at 100 %. If you want it little lighter, move the percentage down. (remember if you don't like something, just click EDIT>undo.) You should have a brush selected, I usually use a round default, try a hard edge and a soft edge and see which you like. Also set the size, maybe 200. Take your brush along the edge of the paper and it'll start to burn or darken the edge. ( I used it over the entire frame and if I remember correctly, I than set it to shadows? and and did the edge). If you want to do the entire sheet of paper, than, set your brush size larger, because it's just faster. You can change the look of any paper, frame, element this way. Or just do the outside edge and it'll give it that "inked look".

October Fest Elements

October Fest Elements. The elements are shown for this download. So Rather than making large downloads and add to it with the previews, I loaded each color separately and you may have them all, or just what you want. The blue and green will match the next kit papers, which is where I started. Each set matches the colors in this kit.
