My First Photoshop Creations!

So, I have a confession to make. My husband bought me the very first edition of Photoshop back in 2003(?) because he had read what a great organizer it would be for all the then-new digital pictures I was taking. Apparently, it was beyond my comprehension at the time and things got deleted and removed and reentered and it was just a mess. Nonetheless, he purchased several other updates and new versions and even in the last year he's spent time reading books and learning how to use the darn thing! I did actually figure out how to use it semi-wisely to organize and tag my photos and even to fix them occassionaly. Generally, I don't have the patience to make them all as pretty as I want, because I just WANT them in my hot little hand!

Well, thank God for Cathy Zielske and her blog! (That's not hyperbole, I mean every word!) She's posted a couple of tutorials in the last week or so showing step by step how to do some fairly basic things in Photoshop. Yesterday, I learned how to make a photo overlay(above) and today I learned to make a photo collage! I am in love with this program now! Why they didn't make it more user friendly I will never know, but I am so glad I'm finally learning how to use it!!

So, here are my first Photoshop creations:

So, honey, aren't you glad you bought me that program 6 years and 2 houses ago? Look how far I've come!
