Learning to Use Adobe Programs: Making a JPEG

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite CS4 a couple of months ago and have played with it a little.  I am still learning what things I can do with which programs.  I have gotten some free adobe brushes from various sites.  I created the about Jpeg as an e-mail reminder for the people coming along on Eric and mine wedding food tasting.  We are really excited to be moving forward with the wedding planning but I am realizing how much I still need to make decisions on.  Anyway, this little 10 minute project made me realize how easy Photoshop can be.  I am hoping to use Illustrator and Photoshop to design our invitations.

Oscar Night: Bird on the Linen Door

So while the Oscars where starting, I decided to do a mini project.  In between Eric's comments about Zac Efron's height, I found a bird and branch picture.  I used MTC to create the cut file.

Then I put my vinyl and mat into the cricut. And waited for it to finish.....

 

I then weeded out the vinyl I didn't want to use.  Then Dodger played with the extra vinyl.
