Sparkle and Bling Bling - Thursdays Inspiration!

Hi Everyone, it was time to give another practice to the blinkie, bling, bling lesson that I am teaching myself.

It was fun to do and I personally always love a little sparkle to things.

Here is my starter page to view:

Julie, glitter girl, this one is with you in mind.

Annamarie,

This is beautiful. I am a huge fan of sparkle and glitter myself. Very cool! What program did you do this in?

Hi Lori, me too!

It was done in photoshop, in layers, then when you want to animate it, at the bottom of the tool palette, there is a option that you click that says:

Edit in image ready. It automatically opens your layered file in image ready, then you assign a 1 second, 2 second, whatever you want to the timing on each frame and save as a gif file and there you go. I am still learning, I did the two little blinkies, now this is my third try. It's time to update my header for spring, I think I will add a little bling, bling to that!

Fantastic!  Great colors.  I was wondering if an animated gif would work in a blog.  :^)

Annamarie, saying you are awesome is an understatement! This is fantastical!

And, Bill, just uploaded a special Sparkling Glitter Header in my Blog and it works just fine. It is another one of Annamarie's masterpieces!

Hugs to you all!

Annamarie, You Go Girl!
