daily december chat & some new friends
i hung out last night on designerdigitals.com for an online chat with jessica sprague. (she is so cool!) she walked through a couple of techniques using her daily december template. this is my version. not many changes to the original template... used the clipping mask, did some burning along the outer edges, etc.one of the real highlights was meeting some fun new friends. my mom has taken two of jessica's classes (up and running with photoshop and now we're rocking with photoshop) and had met some great friends along the way. i was able to meet a few, and am looking forward to meeting many more over on "their playground". so here's to my new friends... liv, deb, laurie (i already knew her!) and tori... and a few others! you guys are so fun! and thanks mom for sharing your friends!

Hey, I know liv too! I wish I could have made it to your chat time... I was out on a child free dinner party. it was so nice! I love your take on the template!
Hi Noel,
This is my first time leaving a comment but visit your blog quite often. Absolutely LOVE your work. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing where you got your background "paper" in your blog banner. I would have e-mailed you directly to ask but I didn't see an e-mail link. I hope you don't mind me asking in your comments. Again, LOVE your work and Merry Christmas!

That is a pretty cool looking page babay. I like how you used the things with the other stuff. Good subject matter too. It's a winner in my book.
katherine,
i got the teal paper from this site:
www.DigitaleXpressClub.com
it's a club site, and i probably downloaded it back in august or so.
hth!

Noel,
I'm one of the girls from Jessica's classes and I have loved them both. I have been a paper scrapper for years and have been trying to learn this digital stuff since January. I LOVE YOUR BLOG and your work..thanks for the inspirations and the tips.
You're great,
Stacy
I love your blog and look forward to reading it. I have recently become interested in the digital scrapbooking (I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years). I wanted your advice on the best started/beginner software to purchase.

hi bonnie,
i'd go with photoshop elements. it's not a completely simple program to learn, but it is a really good one. i'd start with that, then do a beginner's class, like jessica sprague's online class. she starts at the beginning and really walks you through. she's also available for questions. i think that's really the best way to get started. there is a link to her site & classes in this post! she really is one of the best teachers out there!
hth!
noel
Ahem ... should I be offended that you didn't name me? Just because I didn't get to take part in the chat because my house was full to the brim with children shouldn't completely lump me in the "few others" category, should it? I DO have you in my address book now ;) So glad to have you in our family!!
Noel, your husbands' comment cracked me up, way to use "the things with the other stuff"...lol. What a guy! My husband is constantly borrowing my "pokey thing" (paper piercer), for what i'll never know.
Anyway, I tagged you if you feel up for a game.
I love the kids new hats.....how darling are they :)
Hi Noel,
I saw your lo just now in the January CK, nice job!
Wow! I got a shout out on Noel's blog! I love that you have started hanging out with us! Great job on your LO! I was laughing too hard at everyone to even attempt following Jessica's instructions. Good thing I have Liv to give me notes afterwards!
