Back to Basics

24 08 2009

So as my vacation wears on, I’m finding myself going back to basics.  If y’all don’t follow me on Facebook, you don’t know that last week was horrendous.  My laptop went South, my cell phone stopped working, I hit a deer, and then my glasses broke!  I know, insane!  Anyway, as I wait patiently for my replacement laptop, I’m forced to play and work on my old desktop.  It’s slower than slow and doesn’t have any real good programs that can work on it except my faithful and trusty old Photoshop Elements.  This is the program I used to get my start in designing.  I really can’t believe I ever did what I did with only this program.

Well, being forced back into old technology, I decided to make the most of it, and started looking through my old design folders.  I actually created a new kit, amid the swearing and hair-pulling!  It includes some old elements made new, some stuff I never thought would see the light of day, and some very basic papers.  I’m kind of proud that I’m not letting the lack of good programming keep me down.  So out of this mess has come my new kit, which unfortunately is NOT available yet.  (More techno problems.)  But, I thought I’d give y’all a sneek peek!  Take a gander and let me know what you think!

Also, I’ve managed to relax and scrap a bit.  Still inspired by music (I think I’m on to something here) I did another LO with lyrics by Nickleback, using my new kit and some other fabulous new goodies available at Digiridoo.  This LO actually is my submission for the August Color Challenge over at Digiridoo.  It’s not too late to join us in our monthly challenges for fab freebies!
