{{ Reflection }}

Still a huge fan of One Little Word.
Word up this time is Reflect.

"Children are LOVE made visible"



I just love playing with purple these days. It doesn't feel as girly as pink, so I think it works for my boys too.

Thank you Grandma for the fabric, the crochet work and the old postage stamp. :)

{{ All Because Two People Fell In Love }}

One Little Word is celebrating its second birthday (Happy Birthday girls), so therefore the word "Two" this time.

I'm so inspired by this blog. The girls always choose the most amazing words, and the layouts are a sight for sore eyes - always gorgeous and unique!

I hope the words keep coming for a long time..

Here is my take on the word "Two";



Have been waiting for the right moment to use this photo of me and Mikael, and this seemed to be just that. And I took a chance on pink since it's just the hands. I'll deal with that battle later if my boy doesn't like it. :p

Photoshop Frame 3

Been updating my blog today, so I thought I would celebrate it by sharing another Photoshop Frame with you. This is the one I used in the tutorial.

Enlarge the photo first, and remember to save it as a PNG-file.

Please leave me a comment if you decide to download this frame (of any of the other ones), and also mention my name when it's beeing used.

Some useful links;

Photoshop Frame Tutorial

Would you like to learn how to easily put a frame on your photos?

Like this one;






I've learned the first part of this tutorial from Kristine, and it's so easy once you've done it a couple of times. The last part here is easy too. All you need is Adobe Photoshop, and you're ready.

You can enlarge all the photos. Makes it easier to see the small details (buttons you're supposed to click on, the order of the layers and so on).


1. Open the picture you want to use in Photoshop.



2. Press Ctrl+J to make a copy of the picture (Layer 1).



3. Remove the "eye" from the bottom layer (background).



4. Open the frame you want to use (this should be a PNG-file).



5. Click on the Move Tool.



6. Drag the frame over to your photo, and then press Ctrl+T. This will allow you to change the size of the frame so that you can make it fit perfectly.



7. When you're done draging the frame over the whole picture, press enter.



8. Drag the layer at the top (Layer 2) below the other layer (Layer 1). It should now look like this in the Layers Window (Layer 1, Layer 2, Background).



9. Right-click on Layer 1 and click on Create Clipping Mask (or Ctrl+G).



10. The frame should be in the right place now. Don't forget to save.



If you want to change the color of the frame then keep reading...


11. Continue exactly where you left it (don't close the picture you were working on). Make another copy of the picture (press Ctrl+J).



12. Drag the newest layer (Layer 1 Copy) below Layer 2. The order should now be Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 1 Copy and Background.



13. Find the color you want from the Color Picker.



14. Click on the Paint Bucket Tool.



15. Now all you have to do is click at the photo where you know the frame is suppose to be. The frame and the color you chose will appear.



16. We're all done! Save!!




I've shared two different frames with you. It's okay to download them, but I hope you will mention my name when you use them.

Photoshop Frame 2

Enlarge. Save. Use.



And Come Back For More.

I would be so happy if you gave me some feedback on these frames. Did you download it? Did you like it? Will you be using it?

Photoshop Frame 1

This is just a frame I made in 5 minutes or so, but since so many of you have asked me if I could share some of them with you, I thought I'd give it a try..

Note to you; it may not work, lol.

I'm just assuming that all I have to to is upload the file like any other picture. Remember to enlarge it before you save, and also remember to save it as a PNG-file.



Please let me know if this works. And if the interest is still there, I'll share some more. ;)

{{ Killer Bee }}

Killer Bee, I'm a Drama Queen..
...or something like that!

I [[love]] the new papers from Gudrun and 3ndypapir. The birds are just too cute. Note to self: I need more!

I had a blast scrapping with two of these papers yesterday (and tonight, and today..), and when I finished it, I discovered that the layout fit perfectly for Scrappehusets challenge; "create a freestyle layout with 3ndypapir".

I feel the need to say; this is way out of my comfort zone!!!



I know, I've used these photos before - all you have to do is scroll down... But I couldn't resist. Is now a good time to say that I'm already using some of them on yet another layout? Uhm...

Details and more details..













Me loves chaos!
