Thank you baseball coach card

 Making this card was a lot of fun but quite frustrating. I found a tutorial on the web and spent about a day going through the tutorial, making each element from scratch. (making and re-making grrr!) But in the end I think it came out well and I was pleased I stuck with it. I love working with tutorials because there is always something new to learn about Photoshop and you can always combine it with making a new card or image for Zazzle. I hope you like this card and if you are into Photoshop you can find the tutorial here:

Would love to hear if you have any favourite Photoshop tutorials.

I'm better now. It's taken 2 days to get over losing 12 hours of Illustrator work when it crashed. And NOOOO I had not saved - no, not even once.

This is what I had been working on:
Can't face it again for the time being, so I have been working on a few other things. I think I like this one, it certainly helped me learn lots about Illustrator

I have also gone back and found some older drawings and added some colourful backgrounds - I would be interested to hear if the colour is an improvement on the black and white that i normally resort to.

Here are a few that I liked

I will be considering a few more colours and adding the best to Zazzle and maybe Society6 to sell as prints. I really welcome any suggestions opinions as I appreciate them!
Anyway I hope you enjoy looking:)

Meet Tiger The Rescued Greyhound

The best thing that has happened for YEARS!!!
Here are a couple of photos of the latest member of our family. His name is Tiger, a 3 year old rescued Greyhound. Tiger ran 3 races then broke his shoulder which of course meant being put down. Well, fortunately Kay's Greys in Melbourne had him flown down from Darwin and he is currently living with Kez and Amanda till our fence is finished to keep him safe. we have days with him weekly but  I cannot wait till he comes here permanently:) he is such a sweet guy!

I heard about the sad fate of many greyhounds on Radio National Background Briefing it hurt to know what happens to these sweet natured animals. Check out the above links for more information.

Tiger is due to come home permanently in the 1st week in April and we are more than ready for him.
