Life Muses by Ro: Look Up

Mailing a letter requires that I walk across our circle to the key lock mailbox. On snowy days, I typically look at the ground and walk as quickly as I can so I can stay dry. But today was different. Today, I walked with my face toward the sky.

The simple act of turning my face toward the heavens filled me with the giddiness I used to feel as a child when walking in a snowstorm. I felt the flakes fall gently on my face, hair, and hands. My eyelashes fluttered as the snow landed on them.

I heard birds calling warnings about getting wet to their neighbors. I heard water running onto pavement. I heard distant traffic.

I tasted the snow when I opened my mouth and let the snowflakes fall on my tongue. I saw the snow tumble faster and faster as it stuck to the ground and my clothing.

The entire journey – back and forth – only took a couple of minutes. But they were joy-filled moments when all of my senses came alive.

It’s stunning that in this world full of loud and big and busy, a moment of snowy awareness brought me the most joy I’ve felt in weeks.

Lesson received. Lesson learned.

- Ro

P.S. This photo taken on a day after the storm. I looked up and saw.

1947 Florida Vacation Paper Biggie Dreamer Collection Euphoria Collection

 

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

Note from Ro: Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!

Ro is now spotlighting various Scrap Girls members, showing layouts, and running contests in her blog. If you end up being spotlighted in it, you'll get a little gift from her. Subscribe to her blog so you don't miss what is going on!

Digital Scrapbooking Tutorial: Re-coloring ScrapSimple Embellishment Templates Using Gradients

Note: Tutorial created using Adobe Photoshop CS3 with Windows XP.

ScrapSimple Embellishment Templates can be so much fun to use. The ability to recolor them to the colors which will work best on your project is what makes them so useful. In this tutorial, you will learn to use gradients to give added dimension to your embellishments.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Open your embellishment.

First, open the embellishment you wish to recolor. This example uses ScrapSimple Embellishments: Pressed for Time. Draw a selection around the portion that you want to recolor using the Lasso Tool as shown in the red outline.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Open Gradient Tool.

Next, select the Gradient Tool and bring up the Gradient Editor by clicking on the color bar as shown.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Gradient Editor.

The result will be the Gradient Editor popping up. It looks like this.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Choose colors you like.

You will then use the colored bar toward the bottom of the editor to select the colors which you would like for your embellishment. You can do this by clicking on the color stop pointers along the colored bar and then choosing a color of your choice.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Colorize duplicate layer with base color.

Now that you have chosen your colors, go to the embellishment you would like to color. Create a duplicate layer of the portion you want to recolor and colorize that layer with the base color you have chosen. In the example, a deep purple is used.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Colorize blank layer with gradient.

Next, you will use the Gradient Tool to colorize a blank layer. Make sure that your object is selected and using the Gradient Tool with the radial gradient selected, draw a path across the embellishment.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Change gradient's Blend Mode.

Choose the “Overlay” Blend Mode for the gradient layer. You may wish to lower the Opacity depending on the look you desire.

Finally, use your creation in a splendid layout or other digital scrapbooking project!

Looking forward to seeing you there! We'll be meeting in the “00_Room_1” room of the chat. To join, click on the “chat room” link (above). Once you are in the lobby, click on the “Show Rooms” button (on the upper left), then select “00_Room_1” from the list on the left side.
