Want to learn some cool ways to make your photos POP??

PHOTOSHOP WORKSHOP for Scrappers!!
October 4, 11, 18, 25

Do you have Photoshop Elements and need to know all the tips and tricks on how to use it? Getting frustrated because you can’t make it do what you want it to do? Curious about Photoshop Elements & want to learn about it before you buy it AND how to buy it at the best price?

Join us in October for a 4-part class (for easier comprehension) on Photoshop Elements! Local photographer and videographer Ronnie Poche will be teaching a Photoshop Elements class at Memory Mania during the month of October. It is awesome that it is broken down into 4 parts, you can go home & practice everything learned after each 2 hour session.

We all know Photoshop can be a very useful tool in retouching and enhancing our photos for our scrapbook layouts, so we are grateful to Ronnie (who just happens to be married to a scrapbooker!) for agreeing to show us how! Learn the tools, setup, navigation of the program, tips, tricks and shortcuts. Learn how to fix your photographs from unwanted blemishes to more advanced techniques of color, texture, special effects etc.

Get all your questions answered and learn great shortcuts and techniques to help you fix your pictures faster and easier than ever before. Ronnie will provide detailed handouts so that you don’t have to take notes. He will demonstrate how to use the program on a projector for everyone to follow, so you don’t need to bring your laptop. Ronnie will also answer specific questions from participants, so make some notes of things you’ve been wondering about using Photoshop!

Call the store at 744-CROP to register soon; the class is only open to a limited number of participants. Total cost-4nights/8 hours: $125

Calgon, take me here please

A lazy little villa in ITALY, PLEASE
I could exercise every morning, I promise I would.
I would cook some fabulous local dishes & sit with wine with my friends.
Then we could wrap up the day here with all of my friends around, sipping a little wine & discussing the beautiful things we saw today.

Sorry, i was really getting into this dream. BUT I wake up this morning with an ever-ending to do list that i want to finish by 5 because TODAY i really want to step outside and enjoy the sunshine & crisp air, BUT, my body has other plans . . .
Seems to happen about every October-October is only my VERY favorite month of the year, not just because its my birthday (and you know what my birthday means to you LOL) BUT because the weather and its just HAPPY weather. But know, my body INSIST on reminding me that I'm getting OLD, a point I try really hard to not think about, how fast i am heading for that 5 0 hill LOL, but its all good, i'll have to lie low today and pray the sunshine & temps are here again tomorrow. So for today, CALGON please take me here.

OKAY, well if i wasn't in Italy today (LOL), I'd be playing with these wonderful Scrappy goodies!!!! Oops-don't be surprised to see something similar to these in CCL BFF class-are you signed up yet???

GRAB Bags are a huge hit

I wanted to share this sweet email from a customer, Michelle: " I wanted to send you this pic of a double page layout I created using only the product I got in one of the $5 grab bags. The only thing I added was 3 sheets of cardstock (background and photo mats). Thank you so much for offering the grab bags. And I esp like that they have a coordinating line with some coordinating embellishments in it. Things are so tight for everyone right now. I hope you can share this story with others to show that they can make some beautiful layouts economically. Just a thought.

Thanks again!

Michelle"

Thank you for the requests for more recipes LOL. Well, I've been working around the clock most days lately SOOO, not much time for cooking so I'll share a little "quickie" dinner.

Chicken Breast & Asparagus In a Flash

Drizzle olive oil, teryiaki Sauce, Worcheshire Sauce in a non-stick skillet (lol, it sticks anyway)
Add chicken breast and season with pepper, Tony's & LOTS of garlic powder-flip a few times until cooked & remove; repeat same with fresh asparagus. Great meal when we've eaten "bad" on the weekends and trying to watch the carbs & not-to-mention its cooked in less than 20 minutes.
