She mentioned Gimp, a free software from Linux (Google). It has the same tools than PS and it is free!!! I am learning to work with this software and if someone want it, I can post what I am finding out.

Tip: how to store your collage elements

2010-01-26T18:12:00.002-02:00

Over the years I have tried to store my collage elements in many ways and no one was good for me. I had always a lot of scraps and photos around me and never could find this one I was looking for.

Now, I hope I have found a very good way to store all my little papers. Simple photo albums, of this kind that have a sticky background and a plastic sheet over it.
