Lil Oreo

Posted by Picasa


















This is a picture of one of my hamsters, Lil' Oreo. I actually made the backgrounds and elements myself on Paint Shop Pro 8. This is actually my first layout, and I think it came out pretty decent.

Hi Kim! I just found your blog through a link at "Amys Scrap-A-Lot". Thank you SO much for sharing your Christmas freebies! :) I was reading your other posts and saw this adorable one of your Hamster - Lil' Oreo. What a cute name and a cute hamster! Then I read that you had made the backgrounds and elements yourself and that this was your first digital layout...WOW!! Great job! It is also a lovely quote about animals. I have saved this and a few of your other layouts to my favourites (Canadian spelling, eh!). Here is a tip you may already know -- when I save a layout that I like, I always copy the credits, then in the MyDocuments folder where I saved it, I right-click the .jpg file of the layout and click on "Properties" - then I click on the "Summary" tab and paste the credit info into the "Comments" field. That way, if I go back to it later, I know who made the layout and what kits etc. they used to make it. Also, if you use a program like ACDSee or Adobe PhotoShop Album to organize your pictures, this data stays with it and you can look at it or search that data. Sorry for the long comment! :) I'll be back!!
