[jim_joh]

Diana, I live in the Mother Lode in No. Calif. and the birds were Robins. This was taken last spring the day after hatching & on the eighth day they were gone. Although I was using a tele lens the mother & father were having fits.I followed the tutorial from here. I have learned so much from this web site and am very gratful for all of the ideas & tutorials. Jim Johnston

You haven"t????? Wendyyyyy..can I borrow the ruler?????

[jazzfisher]

Gary,
No computer---what am I supposed to do????:(

I'm hiding from the ruler, I can only use the old "I don't have a computer" rouse for a couple of days..............................

[CarolLHB]

I'm just a chicken...:rolleyes: -wait! here's an excuse...I don't have a good picture??? That working for anyone?

If it's any consolation, I just did a glittered bauble...:o

Gary dear, I think the ruler only has your name on it...:p

[NMarti]

Oh come on now Carol I saw your gallery - you can't lie :p - you DO have good pictures!!
Be brave - it won't hurt, I promise. Mine was my first attempt and I think it turned out pretty good:rolleyes:

Jim - really good job! Love the birds.

[Wendy]

Gary ...

I had to give the ruler back to Tami :( ...

I was so sad to give it back ... so I just bought something else http://smileyonline.free.fr/images/gif/animsympa/1049112304.gif

I looked in here:

but I didn't see your glitter ball :)

[CarolLHB]

Wendy-

Haven't posted it yet-just need to put some sort of background on it first:) - it was fun to do. Is there any way to change the color of the glitter?

[Punkinsmom]

Sweet little birdies! Great job!

[Wendy]

Hi Carol ...

No problems with changing the glitter colour ... just do Hue & Saturation, click colorise and choose a colour :)

Tip: When you have made the large sheet of glitter ... save it in its own file. That way you can just reuse it next time you want glitter.

Wendy

[mrdonb]

:cool: :) ;)

[CarolLHB]

Wendy-
Thanks...I'm looking to make the glitter a little more gold/yellow to match the color of the bauble. A silvery type might be nice as well...:) funny, I get so wrapped up in the little more comlpex stuff and forget the basics:o ! Great idea to save sheets of glitter!:)

Border breakout coming...as soon as I finish report cards! Promise!:rolleyes:

[Wendy]

Carol ...

Another tip ... When you are using Hue & Sat to colourize ... set your forground colour to the colour you want before you do the adjustment. As soon as you click on colourise it goes to that colour ... you may still need to adjust the saturation.

[Wendy]

Gary ...

Wendy

[CarolLHB]

Another great tip-thanks.

[Wendy]

[NMarti]

Carol - great job! Nice background too! Now - it's time for that border breakout.;)

[jim_joh]

Looks like my thread on border breakout has become a subject on rulers. I am not complaining but I would like to understand what the rulers are so please share. I would also like to thank all for the nice remarks about my birds. The people on this forum are so nice. I am 82 yeard old and still learning every day. This keeps me so young. Jim Johnston

[Carbone]

And Jim, you don't look a day over 15 on the Forums :D

[Wendy]

Hi Jim ...

So glad that you are enjoying the forum ... it is a nice place to learn Elements ...

Now the ruler :) ... well the ruler is a joke ... Tami (who moderates the forum) was going on holiday and whilst she was away she left me in charge of the ruler so that I could keep the class in order :)

So its just us having fun :) ..

Wendy

[jazzfisher]

:) Carol,
Nice ornament!

[Diana]

Hi Jim, glad to hear there's someone here older than me. Yes, this is a great group to be part of.

Carol, What you have done with Wendy's ornament tutorial is just beautiful.

Diana

[Wendy]

Hi Carol ...

Oh wow ... that is just great !!.

It makes a lovely Christmas Card .... Well done :) :)


Wendy

[CarolLHB]

Thank you all-not only do you get to have a blast here playing with all these fun things, but then everyone says nice things! I love this place!!!!:)

Jim-the truth is...the ruler's for Gary when he misbehaves...if that doesn't work he gets the fire breathing dragon...:D

[Wendy]

Carol ...

:eek: Are you calling me a firebreathing dragon


:D :D

Wendy

[CarolLHB]

Ummmm no...:D

Does this mean I get the dragon???:eek:

[Wendy]

Carol ...

As if I would bring out the dragon for you ... :) :)


Wendy

[CarolLHB]

Pheww! Got scared for a minute!:D :D
