Buttons

Life has been busy, so this blog has been on the back burner for a bit.  I was thinking about things to post, but never had time to make them.  This picture is based on an experience I had last week.  I spent the week at a camp teaching crafts, and the most popular item seemed to be the button making machine.  I won't bore you with why I think that was the case.  But like real buttons, these Photoshop created buttons are easy to make.  All you need is a circle.  Then add an inner bevel and a drop shadow using Layer Styles.  The trick is to make the inner bevel as soft as you can. 
As for the messages on the buttons them selves.  I feel like "Art Dork" is encompassing of my personality.  Particularly when I'm doing things like carrying a paper cutter, a ream of paper, or large canvas for a mile or more.  Which funnily enough, I find myself doing frequently.

I know you've been super busy but I'm glad you're back in the swing of things. I'm sure all your skills were a big hit at girls camp!
