I personally am in looovveeeee with the Loud, Fast, Clash! Bedroom set. I have no idea how I'm gonna reconcile getting or High End Loft stuff.... Eeeehnnngghh! So many decisions.
I think they did pretty good this month. Couldn't care less about the Oktoberfest items (even though they are kinda cute), but lots of freebies! Go EA!
It is a bit disappointing. But, there's a hairstyle in the Oktoberfest set (the pigtails) for little girls that is absolutely adorable -- I'm definitely picking it up once they put it for sale in the individual object section.
Actually, if you load up the 'clothing' part of the Store, it shows an image with a bunch of pirate clothes -- so my guess is they aren't done putting items up in the store, yet.
I couldn't wait so I went to someone's wish list and got that hair style individually that way.
I keep thinking of you, Kaleeko. I'm trying to figure out Photoshop Elements. I've learned quite a bit. Layers are confusing but I'll get it!
I'm still trying to figure out how you make the headers. *shakes fist* It's the specific layout, size, etc that's giving me fits. It reminds me of my mom who could never figure out how to set the time on the VCR.
Hahaha, nice! I'm definitely picking it up myself once I have a few extra points from my hubby. :D
If you ever need any help, feel free to pop on the gchat thing and poke me, I'm online pretty much 24-7 and will respond asap.
It just takes some practice and getting used to. Best way to start is to check your current theme, look at the place to change the header and see what pixel width it asks for. Then, you create a new Photoshop project with that width, and try to guesstimate how tall you want it. You can always change that with various tools, so if you don't like the header's thickness, it's fixable.
Actually, if I can find a decent program for recording on-screen footage (know of any?) I could record you a short clip showing how I put together a header. :) Maybe PiB would know of one.
Nevermind, I think I found one! I'll whip together something for you after I have a bubble bath. It's no trouble at all, and I looove it when I actually can help someone with something. :)
Aww, you bought a book! That's so cool. I learned through trial and error. Was miserable, haha. ;D But well worth it.
If you go to this link you'll find the Buccaneer Bounty set on sale for 500 points. After buying the set it didn't download from this site but it was in my purchase history. I downloaded it from there.
lol. So, apparently those two freebies I posted on the bottom? Actually the $20 and $40 freebie point bundle rewards. *still laughing* EA needs to be more careful about letting those be downloaded seperately...
Also: EA Store downloadable items are now 40% off! High End Loft Stuff, here I come!!!!
Thank you kaleeko. I realised when I tried to comment before I had a little problem. With my new email I wasn't part of the group blog anymore and had to send PiB a quick email to get invited back. Thankfully she was fast.
Hi Pib, I'm getting the white page at the forum since yesterday, even using your link. I was able to go look at the stuff directly from the site. I noticed they added shirts, balloon and something else to the new prius download.
I know what you mean. I've been getting the white screen for days using firefox.
First time this morning using chrome
It's worth checking - Walden has a list with links to all the free stuff you could just download. I picked up a new shelf and new top that I hadn't found before.

Thanks for the heads up on the gift sets. Grabbed them!
ReplyDeleteI'm still bummed about the lack of child/toddler items. Some nice new stuff.

I bet PiB knows of one. That would be too cool, Kaleeko! *squeals*
ReplyDeleteRight, check my theme for the width. Darn it! That's easy enough and I've done it before.
I'm learning more than I needed to know about midtones. Sheesh. I'm into shadows now. It should really help lighten some pics.
Yes, I bought a book. I'm such a nerd.

Bubble baths are one of the best things in life. I luvs them like Jeb luvs stealing candy from babies.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kaleeko.

Thanks for the info Kaleeko, always good to see new stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe only program I know of for recording actions like that is Adobe's Captivate - not a free tool though there might be a trial version.
Thanks for posting this. I immediately ran over there but missed the "extra" freebies.

ReplyDeleteThankfully she was fast.

Hopefully this lets me comment. I've been trying to comment On cheezy's blog and am having trouble. I hope I will be able to get there tonight.
