My family never needs an excuse to celebrate. Any day is a good party day!
That said, we have always had a little 'party' on the triple number date since 01/01/01. Be it a simple "It's one one one today!" or making a cake and enjoying it together.
Like this evening. Just because.
Hoping your day was lovely!
Hey, Kellie!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a little bit (and love it!), but I don't think I've ever commented.
I have been trying to figure out how to make the patterned letters/numbers like your "11.11.11" is. How do you do it? (If you don't mind telling and it isn't too hard to explain...) If you'd rather, you can email me: graceablog@gmail.com
Thanks!
Grace
Thanks for commenting, Grace!
ReplyDeleteSure thing - I use Macromedia Fireworks as my graphics program, so the commands might be different for your program, but here's how I did it:
1) prepare the pattern/image you want to overlay the number/letter with
2) Type the number/letter and align it over the image
3) Right click the number/letter and select 'paste as mask'
That's it! Hope this helps=)
Happy Veterans Day!!! Sounds like a wonderful Party... : ) Also I posted about your Giveaway today...Have a Blessed weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI too have a question if you do not mind Kellie :)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your backgrounds and little sidebar title things? They are so cute!
Thanks!

Not at all=)
ReplyDeleteI actually made the sidebar tags from a font available from Dafont.com:

The background was created by overlaying several different textures over a vintage fabric, then tiling it across the page.
I'm not a computer whiz by a long run, and really know so little about it - however, I enjoy learning and researching how to do want I want to do... then, if all else fails, I go ask my Aubrey, my brother, to help me out;) He can do practically anything with a computer... *sigh* =D
Thanks so much! :)
ReplyDeleteCute graphic, dear:)
ReplyDeleteWe've always had a special affection for triple number dates in my family, too.
Did you notice that my 11/11/11 post was also posted at 11:11 AM? Is that cool or what?!
Okay, I'm way to excited here. You know why=D
See you tomorrow!
Love,
~Tasha~
P.S. I found it necessary to crochet a ruffle scarf to complete my ensemble. Me and my crochet hook;)
11:11 AM? Now that is tricky;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your newly made accessory... see you tomorrow!
Thanks so much Kellie, I will definitely try these out! Have a great day!
