I LOVE Jessica Sprague!!!

I am LOVIN my digi classes by Jessica Sprague!!! I got PSE8 for Christmas primarily for Paint The Moon actions (they wouldn't work on PSE5). I love photography and these actions are absolutely amazing. Well when I got PSE8, I realized that I never really learned how to use 5 much less 8. In comes Jessica. I took a few of her Photoshop Friday classes and LOVED them, so I tried a Brush Abilities class. Oh My Goodness!!! I've learned so much! She is one talented chicka!!!!

My first layout (but certainly not my last!)

2011 Bodacious Calendars!!!

I have finally finished my 1st calendar templates!!! They are a little different when uploading your photo because I taught myself how to make the templates, but I assure you that they work! The size is 8.5X11 and they were done in PhotoShop Elements. If you are interested in them and you don't have Elements or you just don't know how to use templates, just email me at michellestancil@bellsouth.net.

Here are a few examples:

And here are the 12 templates you will get.

This set is $10.00 or $15.00 if I upload your pictures for you (just email me).

I also have just the Bodacious Elements set for $5.00.

I do not have a pay pal button on the site yet, so when you email me, I will send you an invoice. Once you've paid I will email you the PSE files (unless I'm doing the calendar for you).

Please be patient through Christmas. I want you to have your calendar before the new year, but I don't want to miss out on my family festivities.

And the first person to order a calendar will get it FREE!!!!

A present from me to you.

P.S. I'll be working on a vintage, and retro calendar templates, but they will not be ready until after the new year.

Shhh. It's A Secret

It is almost birthday time again! I can hardly believe the twins will be 11 years old! This year they wanted something a little more grown up so we went with a distressed skateboard theme with a mission impossible feel.

I used Unity's worn grid and numbers stamps for the inside. All other was digital and my own creation.

I'd love to hear what you think. :)

Fabulous Friday

Today I wanted to share another digi page. I actually did this as Timothy's 4th birthday party invitation. I absolutely loved how I caught the sun in the picture of him running.

I am so excited about today! The windows are open, I've got my dear hubbies favorite dessert made, planning an awesome supper (wild mushroom stuffed ravioli), the kids are going away for the night, and my man is bringing home a movie (I'm sure it WON'T be a romantic movie, but I still love him). Can't wait to unwind with the man of my dreams!

Make it a Fabulous weekend!!

I'm Back!

Boy did summer FLY!!!!

I've been snapped back to the reality of schedules and school lunches.

I REALLY, REALLY miss the laid backness of summer, however, I can't wait to share it all with you! I'll start with a digi layout I did of my handsome baby boy (He's not much of a baby anymore! He's grown soooo much and he doesn't like being called Baby anymore :( That happened fast!) He was the ring bearer in our cousin's wedding this summer. So HANDSOME and he did an AWESOME job!!!

There is lots more to share, but I have tons of laundry to do! I'm off to enjoy the day!

Happy Mother's Day

Aren't these the most handsome boys EVER!!!!

This was my Mother's Day present. They did so good! And for the grandmas....

I hope they like it!!

Happy Mother's Day!
