NEW Photo editing/Watermark creation tutorials

I am very excited to say that due to popular demand, I have decided to look into a FREE photo editing package and was very surprised (and pleased) to say that I have found one that works on both Windows and Mac operating systems!

You can view the tutorials on my Support (Tutorials page) or refer to the links below:

The software is called Gimp (available at Gimp.org) and it is a very powerful editing package.
     For Windows:  DOWNLOAD here
     For Mac Users: DOWNLOAD here

Here are two tutorials I have created (I did the tutorial using the Windows version):

New Blogger: Carl Wilkens

Carl Wilkens of WorldOutsideMyShoes.org comes to me from a "Blogger" blog.  He was looking for something that had the landing page like a website but the with capability of a blog.  His world traveling doesn’t leave him a lot of time to blog, but leave him feedback and encourage him on!

From Carl’s site:  Carl Wilkens is the former head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International in Rwanda. In 1994, he was the only American who chose to remain in the country after the genocide began.  His choice to stay and try to help resulted in preventing the massacre of hundreds of children over the course of the genocide. 

 

Wilkens was featured in Frontline’s "Ghosts of Rwanda"and "The Few Who Stayed: Defying Genocide,"an American Radio Works documentary which aired on National Public Radio. 

His story reminds us of the profound connection between history and the moral choices we face each day.  It also arms us with new insights in the fight against genocide  along with tools and inspiration  for re-evaluating the relationships we are part of every day.

Welcome InkspiredTreasures.com!

 

I welcome Connie Babbert with www.InkspiredTreasures.com to the family!  She is an awesome stamper… check her out and leave her feedback (be sure to tell her she looks MAHvelous!)

Connie had been with Blogger for a few years and we imported all of her posts into a customized version of the  "Paalm" theme by Sadish Bala at www.WPRocks.com.  See her old site (while it is still up).

The custom header was designed by Beth Silaika at www.FreckledandFun.com.  The banner is fresh and fun and the colors in the blog were chosen to complement it.

Her work truly INKspires!

Welcome StampingKim.com!

Welcome to Kim Assaly of Ontario, Canada!

Kim’s site is a customized version of "Seashore" free Wordpress Theme by Sadish Balasubramanian (his new WP Theme site at www.WProcks.com and I think Sadish rocks!).   His Wordpress themes are very easy to customize by swapping out the header photo that he has on it, he also has an awesome support forum for his themes that you really never see!

Kim’s custom banner was done by Michele Kuslea of StampingThroughTheTulipsDesign and I used the background of the banner as the background to the blog.

Kim is new to the blogging world, so stop by and tell her she looks MAHvelous!
