re: FREEBIE GRUNGE PAPER & TUTORIAL: how to save your work as a pattern in your presets

Desire2Reinvent — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:51:35 GMT

I appreciate your tutorial on this! I suspect that most everyone else knows this as a basic task, and for those like me who are new to PS (this June), it is great to learn to do this which will make it easier. I'm not ready for your latest challenge yet, and it will be fun to see the work that others do! ~Mary

re: FREEBIE GRUNGE ALPHABET SET & Tutorial: How to Make a custom alphabet set.

Hi Mary, You are right, I made these and added them in my presets. Sounds like that should be my next tutorial.

When you make a paper design from scratch or if you bring in an already made one you can save it as a pattern in your presets folder, then once that is done, you will always have it available to use at a snap of the fingers.

So, you can call up the pattern in the pattern section, then re-call it up in the texture section to make it match in size. I'll include this exact paper in a tutorial today with instructions. Thanks for the feedback and hint of the next tutorial.

Thank you for the tutorials. I tried this one with my own patterns and I couldn't get it to look like anything remotely 3D or beveled. I couldn't get your last tutorial to work for me either. I am surely doing something wrong here. When I click on textures, I had to choose what was pre-loaded in PS; so I think I have to add my own in. I'll go back to trying this! It looks like fun once I get past the frustration! LOL -Mary

Hi annamarie!

Just stopping in to say congrats on having your 'ribbon' tutorial featured in The Musepaper and thanks once again for this well thought out tutorial. Both ribbons are fantastic!

Hi Annamarie!

First let me say CONGRATULATIONS! It is truly inspiring to see how you have set up your goals and are stepping into achieving them one by one. I admire your overall sense of what has to be done as well as developing realistic execution strategies. It is so much fun to see your success and I love the fact that you are so generous in sharing all of your experiencies. I am so totally looking forward to hearing about your continued journey toward achieving the rest of the goals you have set for yourself. I also think it's wonderful that you and your daughter are adventuring though this journey together.

I have been away from your Blog for a while now and need to make time so I can gobble up all of the things that you've been doing that I have missed. I think I've said this before, but, I will say it again. You named your blog so appropriately because you are most certainly an inspiration as well as a generous soul.

Hugs, Julie

P.S. I've written one post on photography already, but I will try to write many more. I do a lot by trial and error and want to share both sides of that equation so that perhaps others can learn by my mistakes.

Impressive, inspiring, and invigorating, Annette! You've reached numerous goals and have others' on the go - you've got the right to be mighty proud of yourself. Your tutorials and freebies are an ongoing supply of ideas with excellent instructions and examples. Thanks so much for all you do, Annette.

Congratulations on seeing results of your New Year resolutions! I know that is a wonderful feeling. It doesn't sound as if you need motivation or help at this point. Yay!

I remember, Annette, that you were placing in contests here before you started blogging (so I didn't consider you a newbie at Artella), so I'm glad you got a handle on the blog aspect as well as the "behind the scenes" goings-on! :-)

Annette, I know that there is an application to fill out, if you request it, to become a barterer with Artella. The information on how to apply is listed in the Daily Muse as well as the forums. I had considered this opportunity at one point as well. Or maybe, as you wrote in Goal #6, you will simply be approached for their "leadership team." Good luck in all that you are doing! -Mary

Annamarie,

How cool your site is. I really appreciate the tutorials etc. Your freebies are beautiful. I'm struggling a bit with Photoshop myself and your tutorials are going to be very helpful.

I didn't download anything today but I will be soon.

Cheers

Lori

Thanks Annamarie -- this is so kind of you! I'm going to try it as well! Maybe something chocolaty... ~L

Oh, Annamarie, you are the absolute best! I most certainly am going to try this. You are so generous with your freebies as well as with sharing your knowledge. Thanks so very much! I hope you have a most fantastical weekend!

Hugs, Julie (I wish I could put a great big Smiley Hug here but it's not allowed)

WOW!!!!! Just joined Artella and was lurking thru the forum and found your blog link. Gotta say...you've got some talent, girl!!! Honestly...some of your work isn't exactly my personal style but OMG what you can do is wonderful. You do have a LOT of stuff that IS my personal style. I will be spending some time collecting your gifts in the near future. Thank you soooo much for providing your art for everyone!!!!!

Hi Annamarie!

I don't know what happened to the comment I put here yesterday, but either I put it in the wrong place or it escaped into cyberspace. I'll try again. These purple passion papers are fantastical. Even though purple hasn't been my favorite color, after seeing these, I'll really need to re-evluate my color loving spectrum. Thanks once again for your generosity and for sharing your artistic gifts. I wonder if you would share how you actually created these magnificent purple pieces. If and when you can fit it into your busy schedule, of course - I know that the lesson plans that you put together take some time.

Hugs, Julie
