Photo Actions!

I just posted this to my family blog but I thought I would post it here to since it pertains to digi scrapping!!

So a couple of days ago I won a random drawing for some AWESOME photoshop actions. Now if you don't know what an action is, basically it is a feature for Photoshop that makes your pictures look cool with just one click. Every action does a different thing. I ended up being the grand prize winner and so I won $100 worth of actions!!! Unfortunately I only have Photoshop Elements so I am only able to use less than half of the actions (this is just another reason I am going to HAVE to upgrade to Photoshop pretty soon!!)

I wanted to get on here and show off the actions a little because they are so much fun to use! Here is a cute little picture I have of Cole eating watermelon a few weeks ago!

Now here is the photo after some cropping and running one of the actions called "Citrus" in the "Vintage Summer" set.

Isn't that just beautiful?!? I love the vintage feel to it!!

Plus an Alpha Freebie!

So I went ahead and made an alpha to coordinate with my last paper pack. It is actually 4 complete alphas, including uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation. Note: Letters are all on .png sheets and are not individual files.

Here's a preview:

Wishing for A/C plus a Freebie!

I am so sick of being hot! LOL! Sorry, that is all I can think about right now. It is currently 90 degree outside but for some crazy reason NO ONE around here sees the need for A/C and so I am stuck at home all day in a super hot house. I'm kind of a baby about it too! The good news is that it is going to be in the 60's and rainy next week! I can't believe that I am so excited for rainy weather! LOL!

When I'm not sulking in my misery, I've been working on a new family blog! I am determined to post at least one photo a day (not necessarily taken on that day.) I'm only on day 2 so we'll see how it goes! LOL! You can check it out here: Everyday Moments.

And finally, I have a freebie paper pack. I actually made all of the papers when I redesigned my blog but it's just taken me a while to get them all together and uploaded!

Here they are:

Check out my new blog! Oh and a Freebie!

Okay, so I am totally in love with my new blog! Like big time LOVE!

It was designed by my friend Chelle (roxxygerlie)! She just started making "Blog Fashions" in collaboration with Amy Stoffel! They are soooooo cute! And super affordable at only $3.00.

Check out some of her work!





Click on the previews to head over to Inspiration Lane and pick these up! Then you will have a blog *almost* as cute as mine... lol!

Also, in case you are wondering, the papers she used are by ME and I will probably be giving them away as a freebie paper pack here in the next week or so! Most of the elements came from a kit called "Great Expectations" by Leah Riordan.


And now.... onto the freebie!

I've whipped up this cute little template for you! I have just recently started scrapping some of my pages in 8.5x11 so I thought I would throw that size in too!

How I fund my scrap addiction plus a freebie!

I'm back and yes, I have another freebie!

But first... I wanted to share with everyone how I've been making money to fund my scrap addiction. Around the begining of the year, I cut back on my CT requirements to have more time to spend with my son. Great for my family... Horrible for my budget! LOL! Now I have to buy most of my scrap supplies! The nice thing is that I have really been expanding the designers I use and expanding my techniques!

So, here are a few "work at home" sort of things that I've been doing to help make a couple extra dollars! I don't make much but it's enough to buy enough scrap supplies to keep me busy!

1. You Data - Basically, you get paid to view ads. The pros are that it takes only a few minutes to make $3-5, plus there is no minimium pay-out, you get you balance tranfered to your PayPal account EVERY Friday. You can't beat that!!

Sign Up for You Data Here!

2. My Free Surveys- Get paid to take surveys. You get a $5 bonus just for signing up! Pretty easy, just take surveys and get $1-5 per survey. Once you reach $30, they transfer the money into your PayPal account.

Check Out My Free Surveys Here!

3. ChaCha- Get paid to answer random text message questions! Okay, now this one is actually really fun! People text in questions and you do web searches to find the answer! You get .10 cents per answer. People can make some serious money off of this. I do it more casually so I make just enough for my scrap supplies.

Check out ChaCha Here!
(if you sign up please put my email jamie.chacha@gmail in the referrel box.)

4. Scour- Okay, this one isn't a huge money maker but basically you get points for every search you do and once you reach a certain number of points, they send you a $25 Visa Gift Card. This works great because you just use it whenever you need to do a web search! Plus, if you do ChaCha you can use it every time you answer a question!

Check out Scour Here!

Hopefully this will be good information for anyone who is looking to make a little extra money! Do you have another online way to make some extra cash? Leave a comment and let me know!

Okay, Okay, enough of that. Now onto the freebie!

This is for the color challenge over at Digital Candy and it is my first mini-kit!

It's been awhile but I've got a freebie!

Wow! So it's been awhile since I've posted anything on my blog! Things have been a little busy lately. We've been traveling a lot for DH's work. Plus, now that Cole is almost 18 months old, he requires ALOT more time!! (He is currently throwing a tantrum because he can't sit on my lap and play with the computer... lol!)

I have been slowly working on starting up a custom birth announcement business. It's starting out pretty slow but you can check out what I have so far at my etsy shop!

Now, let's get to the freebie! I've actually had this for a while, I just kept forgetting to post it! It's a paper pack that I made for the Digital Candy Color Challenge:
