Product of the week

Hi Everyone

Have'nt the weeks gone by so quick! Did you know there is
only 6 months and 4 day till christmas!!! (thought you might like to know that!)

This week I am going to talk about a loved product by me "Dimensional Magic"....






I am going to give you a few ideas on ways to use this fantastic product. If there are any other ways I have not mentioned to use Dimensional Magic you can share them with us and leave a comment.

* To add shine - Light coat spread over embellishment/ or brushed on with paint brush
* Add thick shine - Pierce bottle tip with needle and it will flow out quite thick let dry overnight this adds dimension and hightlights. (TIP - keep needle close by bubbles may appear pierce with needle if this happens).
* Dimensional Magic is great to use as a glue fo heavier objects eg- Metal, large buttons etc.
* Place small dots of DM on petals of flowers to make it look like rain /dew drops. tried it and it looks great!
* Use DM on chipboard - Paint or cover chipboard then with DM when still wet sprinkle Micro Beads or glitter over top.
* It can also give a gel sticker like appearance to many paper embellishents/flat stickers then use foam dots behind them to make them 3D.

Photoshop Classes

We held our first Photoshop classes on the weekend and they were fantastic!

A big THANK YOU to the girls from Point Shoot Play, who came down from Brissy to show us just how fantastic our photos can really be! The classes were very easy to follow and because they are hands on everyone found it easy to learn and a lot of fun!

The PSP girls will be a regular fixture at Seriously Scrapbooks over the coming months, but unfortunately we can only fit in a couple of classes a month and numbers are limited to 10 per class, so definately book in early if you are interested!!!

If you normally just take a photo, print it and scrap it then the Photoshop Basics 101 class is for you. You will learn how to convert photos to black & white or sepia, how to remove blemishes and wrinkles! and how to change most of a photo to black & white but keep some part in colour....now i'm sure you've all seen photos like this....where the gorgeous child is black & white with stunning big blue eyes or where the cheeks are just left a little pink etc. Or what about those photos that are just perfect - except for the stranger in the background or part of an arm or leg here and there....well just get rid of them! You will be amazed at how fabulous your photos can be and how easy it is!

Permission To Play is the intermediate level class. You will learn more about layers and selection tools. You will learn to move images between photos so if for example you want to add Uncle Joey to your family portrait, you can just add him in! You will also learn how to add decorative titles and text to your photos and how to install and use new brushes so that you can get really creative!

In July we will also be running a Photo Rescue class for your old or damaged photos and a Scrappy Divas class which will teach you more about fun effects that you can add to your photos like crowns, fairy wings etc among other thing. For more info on these classes check out the Point Shoot Play website.
