Tag using my new kit...

This is what I came up with for a tag, using my new kit..

Freebie ~ Scrapkit Royal Daisies

Another freebie kit.. This one is bigger..
My friend Daisy suggested that I should make a navy blue kit, but this came out looking more like Blueberries.. Also I found an awesome tutorial for making flowers, and lollipops.. When I got done experimenting away from the tut, I had several different types of flowers, and every flavor of lollipop I could think of..
Hope you like..
Hugs,
Dianne

How to use a TEMPLATE in PSP..

By the way, I don't know if you all have ever used templates before, there is a little trick to it..
As some of you know I teach PSP, and I always take slow easy steps..
I plan on having a class on templates at the PSP Hideaway, as soon as the dust settles, and the holidays are over..

Here are the steps that I use.. It keeps the layers all in place... ;)

1. You click on the layer you want to color fill or cover with a scrap paper..
2. Go to Selections and select all.. That will give you ants all around your layer edge.. Next go to Selections, float... Then Selections, defloat... you will have the ants around your shape then..
3. Now add a paper as new layer, go to Selections, invert, and hit your delete key..
or...add a new raster layer and just flood fill it.. Your choice..
4. now either delete the template layer, or Layers, merge down those 2 layers..
5. Go to the next layer, and repeat the process with all the layers..

After you have completed this, just change the file name when you save your work..
If you saved the original template, you will still have it.. If you do not change the name after you have played with it, you will lose the original..
Hope this helps..

Hugs,
Dianne

Fireplace Template example..

Attempting to post my animated tag here to show an example of my Fireplace template..

Now Photobucket is being a PITA!! The codes are mia from my images!!
My header tag is an animated gif. But posted here like a j.peg....
Actually, it has a fire going in the fireplace... Yep, that is my fireplace template that I used.. Looks pretty cozy I think..

My tunes... Woo Hoo!

Woo Hoo! I finally figured out how to get my playlist on here...
The code number was totally different, the way I found my code, was to edit my playlist at another blog of mine.. I decoded the HTML!! LMAO
I feel like a super spy!!

My cousin's invention....

My cousin sent me an email, and wanted me to forward it, so as to build awareness re: her invention..
As most peeps know, I am not a fan of forwards (because most don't forward BCC)... So in order to get the word out for her, I will paste it here.. My cousin Gloria is a riot, and to be around her makes me laugh, until I hurt.. As you will understand when you read about her invention..
What is truly amazing,,, is that she is a walking miracle.. She fought and beat cancer.. More that once.. This is for you Glo!!
and....
OMG yes, I can relate to having to finish a post with my legs crossed..

Dear Friends:
I have attached the article from my local newspaper, The Herald, about my invention; the patented crotch design that allows women (and men) to go to the bathroom without removing their garment.
As part of my marketing campaign, I am accessing the powers of the internet(as well as slightly incontinent women) by asking you to forward this e mail to your friends and ask them to do the same. If you would like to see this crotch design incorporated into running/walking tights, yoga pants, dance leotards, slenderizing garments (girdles), panty hose, tennis skort, bikepants, etc., please contact your local retailer or manufacturer and let them know.
Although I am in contact with several manufacturers of activewear, forwarding this on will place my design in front of key people in organizations I may have missed, as well as potential media exposure.

Thank you so much for your friendship, enthusiasm and support!

Playlist headache

OMG! I am pulling my hair out!!
I worked most of yesterday trying to get my playlist posted.. I have Christmas music all ready to go, but when I post my number in, I get someone else's playlist.. Well I am tired of trying to get it, between Havoc and trying to get this site set up, I have a raging headache..

Hubby and I have a date tonight, to go out for dinner and to see the musical play Saint Heaven.. That should help.. yeppies..
Have a good day..

Example of my other template..

Here is an example of my other template.. This was a FTU scrapkit by Dreamland Designs.. TYVM for your fabulous shares.. I felt bad because 4 shared wouldn't let me post a ty there, as sometimes they won't....

Still trying to find my way around here.. A picture that was supposed to go on the slide show ended up on this blog..
Also cannot get my playlist to show up here.. Ahhh well, as Scarlett O'Hara would say, "tomorrow is another day"... Then maybe I will be able to figure it all out..

In the words of Gilda, "It's always sumpthin"...

One more boo boo... Another blonde moment.. Suppose if I change my hair color it might help?? LMAO
The tag I posted before was in png format with a transparent BG..
Well with a black background and artist credit black, well the credit appeared not to be there, so here is the jpeg version w/a white BG.. I will get this right yet.. I swear..
The artist is Barb Kermis.. Visit her awesome site HERE for free tubes and other goodies..
and...
This fantabulous scrapkit is by Missy of Misfits Scrapz.. It is called Whimsical Christmas.. Missy and Yvette do super fabulous scrapkits..

Please respect artists rights, and always be copyright compliant..

First 2 Templates ~ reposted freebies

My templates turned out too big for some reason, and half of them were cut off.. pmsl
Okay I am new at this so I guess I will make a lot of mistakes.. But I will keep plugging away until I get it right.. Yep, yep, yep...
These are for personal use only!!


The links to my first 2 templates are HERE & HERE

I cannot continue this blog without mentioning my banner. I have used the incredible artwork of Barb Kermis. For those of you not familiar with her work, I suggest you visit her website HERE
Babs you ROCK woman!! Thank you for your generosity, and kindness, and all you do for the PSP community.. ♥ Hugs ♥

Welcome to Dianne's Obsession

Hello and welcome to my site.

I felt it was about time to spread my wings. So here I am!
My name is Dianne, also known as niteowldi in my groups. I have, as my title here implies an obsession.. That is PSP, and everything remotely related to it..

A bit about me.. I have been married to my hubby Ramon for 19 years. He is my rock, and continues to amaze me after all these years. We have a combined family of 2 daughters and 2 sons, 1 DIL and 2 SIL's and 9 grands. My family is my pride and my joy.. I truly have been blessed.. I also have 2 very spoiled kitties (they are royalty you know, and deserve it), that really do return so much love.
