Personally made projects by poki 2/1/2018

Can you believe is is February already?  2018 is flying by ...  I am all in the "blither" preparing for a celebration at my church in a couple of weeks, but I took some time out two weeks ago to make some [hearts and flowers] by the dozen!

Everything in this collection is coming by the dozen!  Somedays (like today) the collection has 2 dozen items.  I'm starting with some heart buttons and flower buttons ... by the dozen!

I hope that you will find my new personal collection useful!  Thanks to all for their faithful following ... I see many of the same names responding everyday!  It's a great feeling to know that you search me out everyday!  I like "playing" at designing, but I do not aspire to sell my digital creations!  I just do it for fun ... I think!  (Sometimes I pressure myself so hard, it isn't fun ... but then I just take a nap and come back refreshed to work again! Being retired I can promise you is a GOOD thing!

Personal Gift LET IT SNOW 1/23/2018

December was a complete whirl of activities ... I'm sure you will agree.  I succeeded in getting  these felt alpha sheets done, but I didn't take the time to clip them into separate letters.  In Photoshop Elements (which is the program I use) it is easy to clip them, but time consuming (and time was what I didn't have!)

Each section (UPPER CASE, lower case, and Numbers & Punctuation) come on a *.png file (transparent background).  See this sample of UPPER CASE  (It's showing here as a *.jpg)

Clipping process

1.  Open the *.png alpha sheet  

2.  Find the letter you want to use.  I'm picking the S for snow.  Use cropping tool to cut the letter from the sheet.

3. Save your clipped letter with a new name (very important step)

4. Go back to your sheet (which looks only like an "S") and do EDIT>UNDO CROP.  Full sheet will return.

5. If you accidentally forget to UNDO, you can always close the sheet, and say NO to saving changing, and it will return to the original sheet!

Have fun with this felted alpha!

Next time I do an alpha I will make sure I have the time to clip it!
