My New LO
This is the first LO I have done in ages, there never seems to be enough time. I couldn't sleep one night so I got up at 2:00 am and did some scraping.
This LO is of my 1 yr old GN Colton, with my DH and Colton's half naked sister, Abby (she is forever taking her shirt off!)




May God Bless You Abundantly!

Wow, I didn't expect the pic to be so large, guess I'll have to work on my sizing!

The larger size photo lets you see the details. You can see the texture on the page and that beautiful little boy. The small pics come across too flat. Wish the larger pics were allowed. I tried to post pics of my two new kittens, but couldn't. I really have to buckle down and learn how to post.

Thanks, Kathie. I just am not wrapping my brain around the instructions. I know the "browse and clink on the pic" part, but after it appears in the message I'm creating, I'm unable to right click on it and shrink it. Also, I don't have a program called Paint. I do have Photo Shop, but I haven't buckled down to learn to use it. I think that might be my next step. I don't trust those "free" shrink programs because you have to download them, and with every download comes the possibility of garbage also being installed. I was shocked that DIY posted the pics of my kitties without requiring them to be shrunk.

Marsha... paint probably is already on your computer... check under accessories... I had to start doing mine this way when they changes up the board.

Wow! You can teach an old dog new tricks! Clarinda, you've told me before that I would find Paint on my computer, but I didn't. It's just knowing where to look. I'm ready to post. Now, I just have to start taking photos of my layouts.
