I also used my new action on the photo below of Duke on his redneck playground. The ladder was originally against the chicken coop (another redneck playground) but we found it makes a wonderful add-on for our hay bales. Imp is too scared to slide down, but Duke loves it (as you can see!). BTW, last week my Duke turned 5. My little boy is growing up so fast.
Slow down a little there Duke, you have plenty of time to get old...
It is a dreary Sunday late morning. I am working on this post and making spinach/venison lasagna for lunch. The venison was from our neighbors. I give them fresh eggs in exchange for fresh-ground venison. They not only hunt the deer, but process it themselves. I was impressed until I heard that my friend's brother-in-law lost part of a finger last year grinding the meat. She assured me this batch is finger-free... ;-)
My wonderful husband is outside with the boys on the big green tractor (a John Deere of course). They are getting a tractor ride and are in heaven... The house is so quiet and I feel so relaxed. Cooking alone is a luxury for me. I love having those two little boys around, but there is a little spot in heaven for husbands who bring their little kids outside so Mom can have a little peace and quiet. I might sneak in a glance of the book I am reading while I am cooking. Give me a coffee and a good book and I am in heaven myself!
Here is my newest set of free storyboard templates, the CoffeeShop Rounded Corners Storyboard Set! This download includes six different .psd layered templates with clipping masks. If you don't know how to use clipping masks (they make loading storyboards a snap), then please read my clipping mask tutorial or read the second half of this post. Each templates is 20 inches by 20 inches, 300dpi, so you can use them for print or crop them for the web. If you are using them for the web, you can make them smaller before adding your images if you want.
NOTE: These are templates you open in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements like any other image. These are not actions!

ReplyDeleteOkay so maybe this is a totally stupid question but I don't know how to get rid of the numbers in each frame. Can anyone help? I followed the directions on clipping masks but it doesn't mention that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just found our blog and it is absolutely amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI am officially in heaven! Thank you so very, very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these! like Kelly C above, I can't figure out how to make the numbers disappear after I load the pictures, though? I feel like I must be missing something obvious!
ReplyDeleteTurn the number layer off by clicking on the little eyeball on the left side of the layer.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these.... I used one with my daughter and just looove the results. Thank you for sharing your great work!!!

I'm trying to turn the numbers off, too, but when I click on the eyeball on the number layer, the photo disappears, too?? Help! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same problem. When I try to make the layer go away, the picture disappears. :0/
