The last layouts were completed and uploaded yesterday.  I finished the front and back cover and spine and uploaded those.  I double-checked each page to make sure I hadn't left VividPics on.  I previewed more than once.  I placed the order and clicked "submit." It's done. ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/28/out-of-mind-out-of-sight/ Who's my favorite Photoshop instructor?  Oh, come on... you know who I like better than even Scott Kelby!  It's Donnie! Yes, Season 2 of "You Suck at Photoshop" is underway at My Damn Channel and I've gotten notice of the latest episode.  They'll continue with new eps every ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/27/once-more-with-feeling/ Two more completed and uploaded to Shutterfly!  I'm still waiting on one picture from my teen to finish a layout of her friends, then I'll complete the last page of the album (I hope to make it special) and get the whole thing sent off for printing. Here's what I ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/27/where-do-we-go-from-here/ I'm in the last stages of completing my daughter's album.  After the layouts I completed yesterday and today, I've only got two layouts to start, one to decide on a background paper and the front cover to make.  It still sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? Here's ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/25/the-home-stretch/ Updated to add the link to the site hosting free Lightroom Presets.  See paragraph 2. One of my readers, Barb, sent me an invitation to try Lightroom 2.0 Beta (after considerable effort on her part, I might add.)  And I got it loaded and registered yesterday and tried to play around ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/22/loving-life-in-the-lightroom/ I said goodbye to my teen for a whole month yesterday.  We got up at 3:30 in the morning to drive her to Frankfurt to catch her 11:15 flight and spent most of the day in the car.  It was so sad to see her go, but I felt so ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/21/weekend-giveaway/ It's hard to create an album for a teenager!  I mean, when she was little, she loved anything I did just because it was for her and about her.  Now, she criticizes a page because I include a picture of her that she considers "dorky" or I write half a ... http://blog.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com/2008/06/17/whats-it-take-to-be-cool/ I've been itching to try Lightroom since I've seen the amazing output from so many photographers but with version 2.0 following 1.0 so closely, I figured I'd wait.  Now I want to try the Beta version to see if it's all about the software or more about the artist.
