After a lot of thinking, and noticing the blogs that I like, I decided to separate this blog into 4 others. The decision is based on what I've noticed in terms of the blogs that I enjoy visiting often: they are focused in one particular thing. Because I have tons of interests (there goes the busy), I better separated the interests into different blogs.
I republish all the articles in the new blogs, according to their categories.
One is dedicated to my needlework crafts. The url is: CreativeBusyHandsNeedle.blogspot.com
The other is dedicated to scrapbooking, usually digital :-) The url is: CreativeBusyHandsScrapbooking.blogspot.com I will be posting the rest of the album in this blog.
Another blog will be dedicated to any cooking recipes that I like to share. The url is: CreativeBusyHandsCooks.blogspot.com
Finally, the other blog is for publishing technical stuff, usually related to Gimp and Ubuntu. The url is CreativeBusyHandsTechie.blogspot.com
I am still setting up the new blogs. However, if you use Firefox you can subscribe to them already in a Reader.
I have to try this organization. If it does not work... I will return to just one blog.
Thanks, -luiza

Album For Teacher - 7
Still working on my mission: build an album for a teacher.
For this layout, I used the Travel Kit Collection from ScrapbooksGoneDigital. Great kit for boy and travel!
To get the effects that I wanted, I used some tricks... The Journal Tag was "rebuilt". I took the journal tag from the kit, desaturated, and used as a template. After that, I created a layer big enough to "hold" the journal tag. Then, used the overlay feature on layers to produce the tag with the colour that I wanted.
The other effect is the left side bar. I used the bar available in the kit, then deleted, using a background color similar to the red paper, each hole. It did not take too much time at all. You only need to make the size of the brush the size of the hole or a little bit bigger.
Now for the "ribbons". They are just the tag elements that were resized to be a reasonable ribbon size.

Album For Teacher - 6
For this layout, I used the Rider Kit from ScrapbooksGoneDigital. Great kit for boy layouts!
For this layout I used the stitches element available in the kit, and repeat, using duplicate layer, to "stitch" around the frame. The "Happy Birthday" tag was made using the Blank License, also available in the kit, as a template. I shrink one of the paper, only big enough to "fit" the license.

Album For Teacher - 5
Still in my mission to finish the album for a teacher.
For this layout, I used the Graduation Kit from ScrapbooksGoneDigital. This kit has great colors for boy layouts, I think.
For this layout, I also used name "lkane_temp01". I wish again I had the site to give an accurate credit.
I used the background of the template as an overlay. The overlaid paper is part of the kit mentioned above.
The element behind the photograph is one of the tags in the kit. I oversized and treated as a normal paper. One of the buttons is also an element that I oversized.

Album For Teacher - 4
For this layout, I used the Rider Kit from ScrapbooksGoneDigital. Great kit for boy layouts!
I used the template bzart_template_0908 (I wish I knew which site I got it, so I could give the credit more accurately).
This time I used the "Wanted" element as my journal tag. I needed to remove the "Wanted". To remove the word, I used the stamp tool in Gimp.
