my new addiction. . . .

So as you can see I finally changed my siggy at the top of this page. I was getting rather sick of them but didn't have the time to make one. As well, I never knew how to make one until now. Those siggys (the animated slideshow picture things) were made by a friend from my message board.
Since I knew I was fully capable of doing it myself. I spent the last few days figureing out how to do it and I finally made my first one, the blue snowflake one! Yes, my computer almost went out of the window a couple times but I did it. I then went a little more difficult with the one on top.
For those who are wondering. I get all my clip art from online. freedigitalscrapbooking is an example of website that offers free downloads. But if you search free digital scrapbooking, you get tons of pages. You need the program Adobe Photoshop to make the pages and then you need Adobe imageready to make them animate. Now, if you don't have either of these programs, if you go here, you can download a 30 day free trial! (but if you want to keep it, you have to shell out big bucks!!)
This is SO much fun! And highly addictive. And FREE! (that is if you already own the expensive software)
If anyone is interested in some step by step instructions for making there very own siggy, I can email you a great tuturiol a friend sent me.

You still need to let me know what digital scrapbooking stuff you use... I am researching it to see if it is something I want to attempt since I never do the 'normal' scrapping anymore...
Looks great!

Looks like fun! If I had more time I'd probably get into it! I said to Erik this morning - "forget scrapbooking, I can't even wash the dishes these days!" Yep, life is feeling busy...
