Egg-citement Overlays


I made these overlays for my Egg-citement kit.  You can either use them as traditional overlays or follow my coloring an overlay tutorial to make them multi-colored.  I have left them as transparent PNGs so it should be easy to color them.  The papers shown in the preview are part of my Egg-citement kit.

Egg-citement!


I decided at the last minute to participate in the Egg-citement blog train.  It was very bad of me because I should have been working on computer programming and not goofing off.  The preview is very sparse, but this kit contains:

  • 7 papers (you can see them on the eggs)
  • 6 cracked eggs
  • 5 alphas
  • 3 egg-shaped frames
  • 1 grass border
  • 1 grass tuft
  • 1 wordart

Egg Overlay and Computer News


I made this very simple egg overlay as a teaser to get people to come and read about my computer woes.  So, about a month and a half ago, the RAM in the computer I was using started to fail.  Intermittently, it seems to stop working and my computer slows down a lot until nothing happens.  After 3 weeks, I got a hand-me-down laptop to use until I could afford to buy RAM for my original computer.  Three days ago, the graphics card in the laptop went belly up.  So, I have a very, very old laptop from 1998 or 1999 that still works.  It has 64 MB of RAM.  It can run PSP as long as the graphics are very small.  Scrap-size graphics take a long time to render.  Photoshop CS3 or CS4 does not run on that laptop.  I do not appear to have enough RAM.  Photoshop 5.5 runs, but I doubt anyone wants tutorials for Photoshop 5.5.  The upshot of all these problems is that it will be even longer until I am back to writing tutorials or doing anything else graphically-related.

Alpha Blocks - Fire Engine Red


I received this request for red alpha blocks:

Thanks

So much for the Pastel Pink !

I too have a old Desk Top computer with Windows XP, I do my best to keep it going & back up all my stuff to a external hard drive, so when I have drama, I will not lose these beautiful Blocks !

I imagine the fire fighters would love a BRIGHT RED alpha block set ?

Kind Regards

Warren

So, Warren, here is a set of bright red blocks in Fire Engine Red.

Alpha Blocks - Pastel Pink


I received this request for pastel pink blocks:

Hello

Just to let you know.

I love the Alpha blocks and hope you are doing a pastel PINK for little girls ?

Kind regards

Warren

Ok, Warren, here are the pastel pink blocks.   I hope they work for little girls.  My hand-me-down computer is not working as nicely as I'd hoped.  It is a laptop and the keys keep popping off, so it is sort of like that game, Perfection.  I type and then I run out of time and kapow, I have a scattering of keys.

Alpha Blocks - Teal


I made a set of alphabet blocks as my contribution to SNL57.  The theme for SNL57 was vintage toys.  I'm sharing the individual colors over the next few days.  I'm looking at these blocks three months later and wondering why I called this color teal.  I guess it could be a faded teal, but it looks more like a light blue.  Anyways, here are the
