Digital Design: Tutorial & Digital Brush Class

Be sure to check out the refreshers in the Inspiration House on How-TO use the House of 3 Digital Tool Kits. They are so fab! So versatile & can be used on anything & everything: from digital backgrounds, to photos, to brush work to blogs!
And...you can get my top 3 faves: the Sanded, Inked & Aged Digital tools for only $2! until tomorrow...so run on over to the House!

**eta: Look what Janet did with the aged tool kit! sooo cool!

And...speaking of digital LOVE:
a reminder about my Digital Design Workshop coming up....it's full! So excited, but for those that are coming...Here's a little sneak peek of the exclusive HUGE 100+ brush kit that will be included.

I ended up creating BONUS brushes & couldn't stop at just 100! LOL! So, get ready to rock n' roll a week from today...at Dear Lizzie! Any questions, just ask! :)

**eta: I've had lots of emails today with questions on this kit. Thx! Yes, there IS a difference between these 'exclusive' brush kits you are getting in my classes.
You see, these classes/brush kits are designed with 'designing' in mind. Not your typical buy-the-as-is-kit-to-use kind of thing...it's a little different.

In the class, I teach you how to put together brushes on a 'beginning/intermediate' design level in Photoshop CS4 & then let YOU have these brushes to put them together as YOU wish..
so YOU become the designer. It's so fun!

And, I've had so many people asking about more Advanced classes...YES! Be watching the Dear Lizzie Events blog...we'll be announcing the new March Workshops!

And, it's the same kind of thing. These are DESIGN classes. I'll be teaching a very small, Advanced Brush class in Photoshop CS4 that will be focusing on a more professional level. This class assumes you know how to use Photoshop brushes pretty well. I'll be sharing a lot of my digital design secrets & techniques using brushes. one on one. side by side. secrets!

You'll be bringing your laptops, having the scrumptious Dear Lizzie treats, 15% off inspirational shopping and.....we only have 10 spots!

So, be watching the Dear Lizzie Events blog because as SOON as it's up...they'll be taking reservations for the class.

still not feeling the best, thanks for all the 'get well' emails....and yes, I missed everyone last night during the Live WEBSHOW. I'm watching it now. Looks great! ...love House of 3! :) Great job, Heidi & Janet! :)

We've got the flu here...not fun.
hopefully I'll get to feeling better soon!

seeing the everyday....the magazine. the concept.

I'm in LOVE with this concept. My sister gave everyone in our family a subscription to this magazine for Christmas & I've devoured every issue. (thanks, my dear...i love you!)

I can easily get caught up in the fast pace of my life...I'm busy. busy. busy. & can easily get out of balance....get too busy to stop & see the everyday.


Isn't that FAB? I love it! This just speaks to me.
I want to see the everday. I do not want to get too busy that I miss out on the poetry of my everyday life.
I want to notice the daily opportunities to build relationships with my family....help them develop character & find joy....I just have to be willing to pay the price of my time.



This is a simple magazine. Not alot of fluff. Not filled with ads. It gets to the point.

The photography is simple.
But, the images are so beautiful they made me stop in my tracks & look further.

The magazine layout is simple.
But, the content is so rich & chock full of sheer upliftment! (is that even a word?)

The table of contents is simple.
But, each section of the magazine has photos, stories & quotes about each of these everyday aspects of our lives.

eat: Eating together provides a space for listening, sharing & growing.
work: Simple home needs, when done together, sustain & nurture the whole.
play: All hard work deserves a healthy dose of honest play.
listen: Things made by little hands have marvelous purpose & explanation.
teach: A mother is first of all a teacher.
laugh: At times, small voices, almost unnoticed, bring grand responses.
build: What lies behind us & what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. (Emerson)

I laughed. I cried. I ooooohhhhed & ahhhed at the beauty of this magazine.
I just feel so inspired when I read these issues. *eta: go here for subscriptions.

So, this morning for my Creativity Exercises, I picked out of my jar:

I got going on my Inspiration boards for some projects I've got going...


I get excited about inspiration boards, but it was funny that I was attracted to all of these things that applied to my home. my everyday.
See? Everything just seems to come together when I'm focusing on creativity. everyday. family. home. my everyday.

*sigh* love this.
have a fab Tuesday!
Be sure to check out the Inspiration House for some fab ideas AND a huge discount on one of our House favorites!

AND>>>>> tomorrow is Live Webshow Wednesday! Watch as Heidi shows some FAB ways to create some hybrid happiness in YOUR home with House of 3!
