Life Muses by Ro: Step Forward With Faith

Clammy, shocks, clenching....

Shocks of clamminess clenched my stomach as I looked out my bedroom window over the valley. I didn’t know what to do and the decision I must make was causing me to experience mild panic attacks at night. After a few days, I began to dread the attacks and soon I found myself watching television late into the night because I knew that when I turned off the television the attacks would come.

This morning, I awoke with two thoughts drumming in my brain. “You know what to do. Step forward with faith.”

Immediately, I realized that a decision I was trying to make was the source of my distress. I was pushing down my true feelings. I was forcing myself to choose something that I didn’t like because it seemed more responsible. My internal critic was responding to potential criticism – real and imagined.

Instantly, I knew what to do. I decided what to do. I stepped off the curb with faith. I’ll find out in time l if I made the correct decision, but, no matter what happens, I'm glad I listened to my heart.

- Ro

P.S. I find it interesting how often my problems solve themselves during the first few groggy moments of the day. This is why I keep a notebook on my nightstand. I want to write the impressions down before I miss them. I recommend that you try it, too!

 

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

Note from Ro: Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!

Ro is now spotlighting various Scrap Girls members, showing layouts, and running contests in her blog. If you end up being spotlighted in it, you'll get a little gift from her. Subscribe to her blog so you don't miss what is going on!

Ro has recently spotlighted Soozlou, mtorres_usa, and teabaglady!

Digital Scrapbooking Tutorial: Changing the Core Color of ScrapSimple Paper Templates: Scrubbed Raw

Note: Tutorial created using Adobe Photoshop CS4 with Mac OSX.

There are many ways to customize the look of ScrapSimple Paper Templates prior to using them in your digital scrapbooking layouts. In this tutorial, I will show you how to change the scrubbed raw areas of my ScrapSimple Paper Templates: Scrubbed Raw to make the paper core look like it is a different color from the surface. It’s quick and easy!

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Color the template per instructions.

First, color in the template according to the directions that came with the product.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Invert selection.

Hit Shift+Ctrl+I (Shift+Cmd+I) to invert the selection so that only the scrubbed raw areas are selected once again.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Choose new paper core color.

Click on the Foreground Color chip to bring up the Color Picker Tool. You will note that the color I picked for the paper template is still chosen. Using that, choose the color you would like for the scrubbed raw areas. You may want to use either a lighter or darker hue of your original color, or a different color altogether. I decided to make those areas darker, as if the core of my paper is a darker color than the surface. Click “OK” when you are done.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Bring up Hue/Saturation/Lightness box to colorize core.

Hit Ctrl+U (Cmd+U) to bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog box and click the “Colorize” box in the bottom right. This will apply the color you chose in the Color Picker to those selected areas on the paper. You will probably need to adjust the Saturation and/or Lightness sliders to fine tune the color. Click “OK” when you are done.

Digital Scrapbook Tutorial Screenshot: Finished paper.

Then hit Ctrl+D (Cmd+D) to deselect the scrubbed raw areas. You now have a customized background paper ready for your digital scrapbooking layouts.
