http://shoptangiebaxter.com/collections/frontpage/products/photoshop-for-mixed-media-bundle This is an excellent class if you have trouble using Photoshop for mixed media projects.  It covers the basics as well as many topics on using all of the tools that PS has to offer.  I have learned so much from just the first lesson!  I will be back to share some of my digital creations with you :-)

Art Journal Pockets  are created by using nine 2.5x3.5" cards (placed in a trading card sheet protector) to compose one larger art journal page. It's a fabulous, mixed-media mash up of art journaling, pocket letters & artist trading cards. You can create  Art Journal Pockets  for yourself or to trade with friends! If you would like more information and FREE intro course from TANGIE BAXTER (!) head on over to her website at  http://shoptangiebaxter.com/pages/art-journal-pockets Here is my first attempt.  Took no time at all and this will be my cover for my binder. The second page I wanted to celebrate autumn and chose several quotes to lay over the journaling page. These were both done digitally, however, I do plan on doing hybrid versions of cards soon! Here is a set in which I inserted my family pictures and text onto the AJPs. Here is another that I just finished .... I printed it in Black and White and used watercolors, paint ...

Below I have included 4 pages that I used my MyMemories Suite Software with templates that came with it already ready for me to insert my photos and do a little journaling.  It took 20 minutes and I customized my pages to be 6x6 inches so that they would fit into the Project Life Design E protector and I am done.  Right now they have a special on the ditigal software over at www.mymemories.com Make sure you use your 30% off coupon code 12days30at as well as my code STMMMS22601 and you can get another $10 off AND A FREE DIGITAL BOOK!

FREEBIES!!!! Yeah!!!   I know I posted this a day or two ago but now I have something to show and tell :-)  I got my new MyMemories Software version 4 and downloaded it yesterday (did not take long at all).  It was VERY user friendly and in no time (about 5 minutes) I had two Christmas pages done that I can print at home and use as gifts for family members.  It was SOOOOOOO much easier than Photoshop LOL.  There are templates, papers, embellishments, premade pages, you can edit your photos, all kinds of cool stuff!  There are so many freebies on their website that you can try out.  And with the 30% off, the $10 off code STMMMS22601 and a FREE PHOTOBOOK, you can't go wrong!  Check it out today!    It would be EXCELLENT for December Daily Pages!  Quick and Simple!  and you can print them out at home and add your own embellishments if you like :-)  Or, you can order the pages or complete album from them ...
