Well! Wasn't that a beautiful card by Audrey! Wow I am amazed at the talent of all the Designer's in both this blog, sassy's and tuesdaytreats. And what generosity sharing and teaching. It takes time. We all love as scrapbookers and paper crafters to create for sure but it takes more effort to take these step by step instructions and post and even more to bravely come forth and put the project for everyone to see. Often times it goes unrewarded or unappreciated. But know this I appreciate!! and I admire!!
It is this blog's Birthday today!!! It has been exactly one year since I registered the domain and set up the blog. Yeah!!
Now coming to the Imagine. This is becoming like gypsy and imagine blog isn't it? But to me I feel like the Imagine atleast the electronic part is an extension or mini gypsy!!. It is just been handed a power tool!!!
Here's an video which explains what people are now calling as flood fill

I was sent a gmail with this link and asking me my opinion
For what's it worth here it is (and you bet I will soon make a video of this.. well maybe.. )
This I would think is not the problem with the Imagine machine itself
If anyone has used a photo editing software like Photoshop or gimp you will understand that the flexibility in manipulating the layers lies in how you plan each layer. Layer means just that - Layer
For eg If I take a person. I would make all the body as brown so in one layer. but the ear holes, hair , lips and eyes I would make a separate layer of each and one on top of each other. That way if I have the hair in a separate layer then I can have that hair blonde or brunette and in the same way if I have the eye in different layer then I can color the layer and if it was photoshop manipulate the shape too ;). Now if I did not do that properly and put the hair and eye in one layer then well is it photoshop's fault to say it is not giving me the correct color. But it is the designer's
So here I say once again it's not the Imagine's fault but rather the poorly thought out Imagine art cartridge images .That artwork needs work!! It needs to better planned and broken down into layers. . Machine as per se is fine and doing what it is supposed to but rather it is the fault of the cartridge designer. No not taking sides here at all. So what point am I making. I like the machine so far but the art cartridges - needs some work!! for sure. Now if you love the images on the cartridge itself along with colors and some flexibility then do go for it. I am again not blaming here. Each person has their style of doing things. The images on it is fine as it is and the colors as it is are gorgeous and to lots of people me included sometimes - it takes the stress of color planning. If you are one of them then buy these.
Since I am not planning on imagine art cartridges but would go for the pattern cartridges (cheaper and better option for me) - I am going to stick with regular cartridges (which I have tons of) - I am not overly concerned.
Now the regular cartridges - they mostly have been broken down properly into layers for eg if I were to take paper doll then only body can be changed while I have seperate eyes etc which I can leave as black...
So these are the facts and my opinion. (sheesh!!! opinion opinion opinion - I sound like a opinionated woman don't I? Now then why does my family not listen to me.. I wonder!!!)
