Creating a Picture Package in Photoshop

Getting images ready in one page can be time consuming, specially if you need the same image in several sizes for different purposes. For instance, I was planning on launching a party at home to showcase all my wrap skirts and get the people to know more about my work in Etsy. I decided that I wanted to start by creating my little ad with my info, which will end up being my address forward sticker ,stickers to be printed out and give to my clients and a flyer with my Etsy address. All in different sizes since they all have different purposes. Photoshop did all the work for me, I needed the same image in 3 different sizes all in one page, that is when Picture Package comes in. Take a look at my tutorial, I hope you guys enjoy it, and like always please leave some comments! :D

Awesome Gifts under $50!

Just got back from being very busy at school! I know, school can be very time consuming and it's a bit hard to handle school, my store and my blog, but I do love to do the three things so I don't mind :D I was a little behind on a couple of Mini Treasuries that I had in mind to start. I started to come across with these interesting shops in the chat rooms and forums and couldn't wait to do one focused on those that are planning to buy gifts but not that expensive, so I just created a "Under $50 gifts Treasury" . I am hoping these Christmas will pick up and people will start shopping! Check these cute gift items!

Creating Product Line Sheets

This video will be focused in creating Product Line Sheets in Photoshop using the Contact Sheet Tool. What is a Product line sheet? and Why would you need it for? It's the same as a linesheet, which is the term that we call in the apparel industry as designers . It's a page with all your products lined up with product tittles, style numbers, and sometimes retail prices. Product sheets are excellent to prospective wholesale buyers, boutiques, vendors, or anyone that is interested in seeing your line of products.
Product sheets, as you see, are very useful. Like I mentioned in my video, getting together a book with all your products takes time, but Photoshop gives you a way of creating a Product Sheet in a easy less time consuming manner. You don't have to worry about any resizing and lining next to each other and all that nonsense. Photoshop lets you create a batch of pictures and it automatically lines up the sheet for you! :D Isn't that awesome?, well I will show you how to do it, and I hope you guys enjoy it! Please comment and remember feedback is always appreciated! :D
