It has been a long time since I have done any art work, especially layouts. Just over two years ago, I had a major incident in my life and it really set me back both mentally and physically for a long time. I am still not where I was before all this happened, but recently I got a new computer and it sort of motivated me to start doing some digital layouts again. I have not been able to get my photoshop version 7 working on my new 64bit computer, so I have had to make do with a couple of free programs, mainly paint.net and I have forgotten how to do a lot of things anyway, so it is a whole new learning experience all over again. I have mainly done some fairly simple layouts of my daughter, using photos of her taken when she was doing some modelling for The Vintage Now shop at Rosebud, she loves the fifties and sixties style of clothes and Linda the owner of the shop, loves the old fashioned stylish look of Sioban and uses her to model the clothes of that era she has for sale, whenever Sioban can get down from college for a few weeks. I have also used some of the photos taken of her at university functions.
