CT Time

Happy New Year's Eve.  This morning, the previous hour before this picture, there was green grass - what happened?

After Christmas day, the rain washed away all the snow and now green grass.

NYC Time

The other day, we took the train to Grand Central Station (NYC) and the subway uptown to walk 4 blocks to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. When we left at 7:00 am it was raining +11 C and when we were driving back from the train at 9:30 pm it was +3.5 C. The next day, looking out our window, no longer saw snow but there was green grass. Can you image, so much green grass in December, it looked like April/May out there.

On the way to the museum, Lexington and East 84 St was a Luncheonette with pop (soda) bottles in the display window. Thought it was pretty neat.
The day at the museum was fantastic. We tried, but just couldn't see everything. Was a fun day.....

Baby Time

I have just finished Lesson 1 of Up and Running. A self-paced class at jessicasprague.com  This is my digital template layout from class.  I learned important stuff like photo resolution is 300 ppi for scrapbooking; general rule of thumb for text is 12 pt in size and 18 pt in leading. Original layout with layers is saved as .psd file. Save as .jeg for printing or cd storage. When saving .jeg for the web, resize layout from large printable size to web friendly size  using Image, then Resize, then Image Size and setting Resolution: 72; Resample Image: checked; dropdown box: Bicubic Sharper. I expect to be saving my documents with extensions documentname.psd; documentname-Finished.jeg; documentname-WebSized.jeg
If the document is not going to be printed or externally saved or sent to web then just leave at documentname.psd which contains all layers for editing purposes.  So far, so good......
