Good Morning!! Hope that this finds you enjoying your weekend.  I can’t believe that it is already the end of November.  Where has the year gone?

Today’s images are especially fun ones.  I love em.  Though I don’t know why anyone would want to shoot our sweet and loving Corinne with an arrow. (giggle)Nov challenge open

nov challenge frontI used a diamond gate fold that I found on Splitcoaststampers.  You can find the tutorial here.  (The small clothespins are just to hold the card closed for the photo.)

I used The Paper Studio Affinity papers.  The die is from Spellbinders Fantastic Flourish two.

For those that asked, the retreat was AWESOME!  I had such a good time.  Miss Betty was an amazing hostess.  The house was perfect, the jacuzzi warm and the wine was tasty.  Although it was not my most productive weekend, I met some fabulous gals that I hope to see again at the next one.

Jazzy sends a big hello!

Hugs,

Wendy

Hello friends,

Today I have a card for you from an awesome artist. Believe it or not, I do create using other artists stamps. LOL! Anyway, today’s image is from All Dressed Up.  Take a moment and check out her store. You can find her on ETSY here. 

I just love these cute stamps.

Birthday, blue, brown, cards, encourgement, green, just because, orange, sepia, Simply B Stamps, stamped, striped

Well here is the last blog for this month’s challenges.

Anything but a card bagThis is for the Teen Line Anything but a card.  The bag is an old Christmas bag that I recycled.  The papers are from Summer Fresh from Simple Stories.  The happy birthday is a card tag that I bought from Joann’s eons ago.  The image was colored with copics but a while back when I didn’t write things down.  Sorry.

The next card is for the favorite techniques challenge.  Layering is a technique I use on almost all my cards.  Also coloring with Copics LOL

Dragon HugsThe papers I used are from My Mind’s Eye Handsome Boy.  Copics:E50,00,21,R20, R30; YR24, E31, E33; YR12,14,18; YR00,02,Y18; BG45,49; B0000,C00, N10, R14; E34,37

Sketch is from Deconstructing Jen

This card is for the Emo challenge.  It could also be used in the smart A$$ challenge as well.

Emo Victorianinside Emo VictorianOutside: Happy Birthday Old Friend.. Inside: No, really…You’re old.  It is just kraft cardstock cut down to 2.75 X 5.5 and scrap paper added inked with Distressed Walnut Ink and the sentiment is computer generated. Copics: E30,31,33,35,37,39; E50,51,53,55,57; E40,41,42,43,44

The last card is for CORINNE.  Yes, here is your Smart A$$ card.  There are you happy now whip cracker. LOL.  Corinne is one of the administrators at Simply B Stamps.  She does a fabulous job keeping all 500+ members straightened out.  We all give her a hard time though.  Don’t worry she gives more than she gets. 🙂  I just love the gals in this group.

Mummy Outside reads: Working with you is a dream

Mummy Inside reads: You know the one with brain eating zombies walking all over the place.

Papers are from Bo Bunny Family Is

Copics: E50,00,21, R30, E35,YR21,Y32; W00,0,1,2,4; C3,5 G94,99

Hello all my little bloggy friends.  How are you all doing?  I am so sorry that it has been so long since we last chatted.  I struggled with a bad bout of bronchitis and then I went on vacation.  I will post some pictures from the trip for those that are interested.

But for now I have a fun little image from Simply Betty Stamps.  It is our monthly challenge and Betty was sweet enough to give us this sweet fairy to use. Here is what I did with her.

Hugs from Jazz and I.

Good Morning Gang!  Just a quick post before I head off to work- BOO!  First days back are always tough.

This is Some Odd Girl– Lazy Kaylee.  Isn’t she cute!  I used my CherryLynn Design Die-English tea doily .  Love that die.  I also learned that if you put waxed paper (like you would use in your kitchen) onto the die then put the paper to be cut and then run it through your machine.  You don’t get those small little pieces that won’t come out of your die. They just pop right out.   Pretty neat huh?  I used Recollections small pearls to highlight the image.

Some Odd Girl Lazy Kaylee Papers are Lost and found2- Blush by My Mind’s Eye; Simple Stories Fabulous;

Ribbon: Sheerly Yours Offray; Stamp is Recollections Fun Borders.  

Copics: Face E000,00,21,R20; Eyes:  BG93, C5; Hair: W1,3,5,7,9; Dress: R,00,R81,83,85; Shadow W00, W0

Digital Stamps Motion Tutorial in Microsoft Word

27 Sunday Jan 2013

blue, cards, Coloring tutorial link, congratulations, copics, digital stamps, encourgement, microsoft word, motion, Ruby Montes, stamped, tutorial, zlatoena

Motion Tutorial Zlatoena captain bunnyclose up of captain bunnyThis is a tutorial that will give you the effect of motion in your cards.  If you have a rubber stamp, you can simply stamp, reposition, stamp, reposition and stamp again without reinking your stamp and Voila!  However, if you have a digi stamp you want to use, it can be a little more difficult and I was stumped as to how to achieve the same effect.  I do not have photoshop so I wanted to use Microsoft Word. So I asked my facebook friends at SimplyBstamps and googled my butt off and this is what I came up with.  If you have a better way, please feel free to let me know and I will do an update as I am NO EXPERT.  So here goes:

First select you image and insert it into your word document three times. I am using a cute bunny captain image from a gal I found on etsy.  The name she goes by is Zlatoena.  Check her out she has some awesome images.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Then you want to be able to move them so you will select the image and right click on it.  You will then click on Wrap text and choose square.  This will free you image and you can now move it anywhere on the page.  Do this for all three images.

wrap text-square

Next you want to make all of your images the same size and a workable size so click on format picture up at the top and on the right hand side you will see horizontal and vertical sizes.  Type in the size that you want.  I choose 3.25 for the largest size, which is the horizontal one (changed 6 to 3.25).  It automatically reduces the other side proportionately.resizeNext I decided to lighten two of the images.  Select one of the three pictures and click on picture format and on the left hand side you see Colors and a triangle- the triangle is a drop down menu.  Click on itcolorThis is what you will see:recolor optionsFor my middle image, I selected the one that is on the bottom left- tan.  This is what my images look like now- one original and one lighter.  tan imageFor the third and lightest image you do the same thing. Select your image, click on picture format, select drop down color image but this time I selected washout.  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThis is what they look like now:three altered imagesSo now you move them in a row but as you can see the top image is covering the other images.blocked imagesIf you select the middle one and right click.  You can send image to the back. Do this again for the lightest image as well.send to the backThis is what it looks like now:sent backNow the main image is showing everything but it is covering up the back images.  So to fix this we will need to alter the two darkest images.  Click on the darkest image and click on format picture and to the far left you will see remove background.  Click on it.remove backgroundThis is what it may look like:remove background screen shotThe only thing that will remain if we “remove the background” is the little piece of white that you see.  To fix that sometimes if you simply pull the small white square on the sides toward the image it will color some of the image white.  But this image did not so I had to do it manually. Up at the top on the right you will see mark areas to keep.  Click on this.  Now when you click on an area in your image it will turn it white.  If you click on two points and draw a line in between them it will turn large sections white.  Do this till all things you want are white.areas to keepOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAsee how I drew a line between points and the whole ear became white. click on areas to keepWhen you have it the way you want it click on the keep changes.  Now the “white square background” will be gone.keep changesDo this for the middle image as well and this is how it will look:all three doneNow you can move these around until you like the composition.  I actually decided that I liked the lighter ones in front so I changed it.  Now I want to “group” these so that they will move as one image.  So you select an image and hold down the control key and select the other two images so it should look like this:

all selected for groupingNow right click and select group.GroupedNow it should look like this:image of the groupNow this image was larger than I wanted so I selected the image and clicked on Picture format at the top.  To the far side is the same horizontal and vertical sizing.  But if you put in the size now it will only adjust that side- it will not do the other side proportionately.  So you must click on the small size spot below the numbers to alter the image.  This is also true if you try to resize by the corners.  resize final imageNow that you clicked on the size button you will get this screen:lock aspect ratioClick on the Lock ratio aspect button.  Then you can put in the size that you would like and it will adjust the other side automatically.

You are now ready to move this image to where you want it, print it up and color away.

There is a great tutorial on how to color the image to produce the illusion of motion.  Her name is Ruby Montes and she was a guest designer for Simply Challenged Challenges on Dec 4.  Her card and tutorial are awesome.  Here is a link to her tutorial for coloring.

Hope this helps and is not confusing.  If you have questions you can contact me and I would be happy to help or clear up something (if I can).

Thanks for looking

Welcome to Jazzydoodle Designs

I started this blog because my spoiled little companion got tired of me waking her from her nap to look at what I created. And frankly, her response of “not as cute as I am…can I have a treat?” was not very helpful nor gratifying.

I hope you find some enjoyment, knowledge or just plain relief from your boredom while looking.

So now I am a blogger with a dogger.
