December Daily 2009 : Day One

How cool is a Lego advent calendar!!! For December Daily,I was so proud that I took a few pix last night.

I'm new to your blog, so you may have already answered this question, but HOW do you change the color on your overlays??? I can't find an option in Photoshop to adjust the color. Your "Dec 1" is white here and the ones I downloaded are all black. Help!

I too have never used Photoshop or done any digital scrapping. I really liked the look of the overlay used on this page and purchased it online yesterday. I do have Photoshop and spent a few hours last night trying to put this overlay on my 4X6 photo. I didn't have any luck. Can anyone provide simplified instructions on how to do this? My photo is in the organizer and I have unzipped the overlay so I can open it and see it in Photoshop. I just can't get it to show up on top of the photo. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Didn't realize how difficult going digital would be.

Thank you so much for your donations. My 7 year old has been living with juvenile diabetes since he was 4. We pray daily for a cure and the JDRF is the greatest research organization out there. Good luck Becca. I hope you raise LOTS of money!

Nice! Simon in that play?

thanks for showing the before and after pages!

Thanks for the inspiration. I am doing a December Daily for the first time.
I did our Advent picture in the morning and had it all ready to put into the book last night. However, I ended up having an unexpected experience last night. I get to decide or add another picture on the back.
This is so much fun! Thanks again.

it is simple but making great effect...oh la la ....just take time to watch your projet, as soon as I got my album, I do it...may be tonight...thanks a lot !!!

Ali, how do you find all these great little shops, that sell such useful stuff for scrapbookers, on Etsy. If I try to search on paper goods, I get sucked in for hours.

Thank you for supporting the JDRF!!!! You are such an amazing, generous lady, Ali...and ever-so-inspiring. Thank you from another Type-1-scrapbooker!

Best Wishes for an amazing Christmas holiday with your new & improved family!!
