I think I’ve said this before but all this wedding planning has kicked my creativity into high gear.  I am having a blast doing and creating things for our wedding.  I even helped a fellow knottie with her invitation background yesterday.  It makes me feel good I was able to help her out.  (And even better that it took less then 10 mins start to finish 😉 )

Just a few months ago I had very limited knowledge of Photoshop.  I’d never even opened Publisher.  Now I feel I could conquer the world.  Or at the very least some basic editing and design.  Why oh why had I not learned these skills months ago?  I used Photoshop to create our Save the Dates.  And honestly, if I’d had the knowledge I have now I might would have done something differently.  The one thing I spent the most time on is the one thing I’m just not super crazy about.

M admitted that he doesn’t like the pic we decided to put on it.  I have to agree.  We had a friend take some photos for us, and while I’m not complaining, I’m not crazy about any of the pics taken.  Maybe it’s my fault for feeling rushed in trying to get them out so quickly.  Oh well, they are done now and hanging on our friends and families refrigerators.

I hope that I will continue to find new and creative ways to use these skills.  I foresee a long line of adorable/rough and tough birthday invites, party invitations, and Christmas cards, ala Kelly.  Every project makes me feel more and more comfortable with my skill levels and more confident in the projects I can and will create.

I think that’s why I didn’t feel like blogging yesterday, I was working on the background.  One creative outlet for another.
