Back to the Game

Had to step away from the table and stretch my legs..tough hand going on here...

now it's coming down to the luck of the draw....looks like I may be up the river with out a paddle.

With Thursday's community card at the "Sisterhood of Scrap" Texas Hold'em card game being the Ace of Diamonds...

there may still be a chance to build a hand of some sort.

With that said I toss in my chips along with a Black & Red Layout with a bit of journaling

and take the Ace into my hand.

Inspiration Texas Style

Next card on the table....not looking to good...not looking to bad either...three more cards to go.

Next three cards out are going to make the difference in my hand,I am holding at the "Sisterhood of Scrap" Texas Hold'em Challenge.

Again I toss in my chips and some inspiration sites..that I enjoy.

One of my favorite sites to go to when I need inspiration for a craft project is

Craft TV Weekly not only do they offer some fun projects...they have a video and templates to guide you along.

Second site I would like to share is a Blog Scrapping with Ikea Goddess

the place to go for all your digital freebies...every day previews and links are posted to all the newest digital freebies that can be located.

Not only does it keep you up on what is out there ..but also provides a way to view other informative sites that you might not have found on your own.

Third is a Sketch Site...when I am stuck for a design ...I most always check out this site first for some inspiration to begin my layout.

"Sketch It"...... this is one talented young lady...I expect we will be hearing more of here in the future outside the cyber world.

So there you have it ...my top three inspiration sites...still wearing my best poker face...hehe.

Texas Hold'em Tuesday

All chips are in and the second community card is on the table....looking a little better.

I toss in my chips along with a tip.

My tip for today.

when creating a digital layout ....why not play with the opacity of your elements.

click on a layer in the layers column and go to the opacity ...play with the numbers awhile to see what will give you the best look for what you are trying to achieve.

In the top example ...I altered the opacity of my photograph of my Granddaughter and used it as an overlay on my page.

A second example may be seen in my button for my first layout of Texas Hold'em.

A third example may be seen in "How do I Love Thee"

If you have never tried this before, why not play around with it and see what you come up with.

All chips in !

Texas Hold'em has begun at Sisterhood of Scrap.

Now holden two cards, and one on the table...looking a little weak...but still with some possibilities.

What to do....as I tip my visor.....I put on my best game and hope the other talented players

can not read my poker face.

With a two word title and a round embellishment,

I toss my chips onto the table and enter the game.
