Happy Birthday Craig!  
Hello Everyone!

I just became a major Craig fangirl recently although I've known about his existence for a while. I used to watch the Drew Carey Carey show everyday after school and Mr. Wick was my favorite character. Recently one of my friends who is a huge fan of Ryan Stiles got me into rewatching the DCS and I fell in love with Craig. I've been watching as many clips of him as I can find on youtube and trying to keep up with the Late Late Show as much as possible. I really look up to Craig. The more I find out about him, the more I respect him. I love his wacky sense of humor, his smile, and the way he cracks even himself up. I know his birthday is tomorrow, but because of schedule issues, I'm going to post this today. So anyways in honor of the mighty Craig Ferguson's birthday I have a small batch of icons. I just started learning how to make icons and many thanks to [info]paradoxicalfrog  for teaching me. Without further ado...

I know this is weird to have the eliminated icon as Mod's Choice but I do really like this icon, I think the cropping is really interesting and that the text works really well.

How can I get this dirty text-on-aged-paper effect?  
Hi!

How can I achieve this grungy text-on-aged paper/dictionary effect?

For example:
Photobucket

I have the typewriter fonts, but I don't know where to go from there. I use both PSP8 and PSCS2.
More examples under the cut.

Thanks for any help! :)

Episode question  
Hey guys,

I figured it would faster to ask then try and find it myself since i cant even remember what season it was from.  But what episode was the investigation at a private residence where the two daughters were visited by spirits and then the dad was laying in their bed and the sheets went tight around him?  I'm watching A Haunting which is always good for a laugh, but the women on it is freakishly familiar and it sounds like this case.

A QUICK QUESTION!! :O  
Hey all! 

I need to ask a stupid question. In PSP 9 how do I get all the layers copied into one? I can't remember the keycombination!! I used to remember it, but now I've used too much PS CS3 and I just remember Alt+crtl+shift+E  . And we all know that doesn't work on PSP 9!! 

Please help me!! D: 

*hugs*
 

SOLVED!!! THANK YOU! :D

Hello there!

I've been going through the memories and tuts like crazy and I can't find the reason for the problem I seem to be having. None of my brushes will stick. They're there when I'm working on an icon, but when I save it all the changes are there except the brush(es). This goes for the PS default ones, not just the downloaded ones (so I'm assuming file extraction isn't the problem).

Any ideas?

I'm using CS3, btw.

Thanks in advance!

Just a few questions =]  
Heya!

I am like soooo obsessed with Eva Longoria atm and i'd love to make graphics out of some pictures of her, involving some sort of coloring. But the problem is, i can't find a coloring tutorial that works with Eva's hair color (dark brown) that will look good but doesn't darken the whole picture. So i was wondering if anyone had any tuts that they know of that they could give me directions to? I'd be so great full!
e.g i'd like to do some color changes to this image in particular:
Photobucket

Thanks in advance xx

Oh yeah and it would be nice to learn how to make these colorings, if anyone knows:
1. Photobucket 2. Photobucket Made by kissed_the_curb =]

(Sorry that i don't know who the 1st one is by)

Thank yoooou <3

How to get this kind of dreamy effect?  
Hi can I achieve this kind of dreamy effect like on this two banners? I am pretty sure that its not involves overlay or softlight because whenever I try to overlay/softlight them its turn out really yellow-ish.
