It's no secret that I've got a scrappy crush on Wilna Furstenberg.  She's definitely in my fave five.  So, I was thrilled when she invited me (and a few other girls) to be a tester for her Tuesday Tutorial on Ali Edwards' blog!  It's an album made from a Starbucks cup.  I went mostly digital with album.  Here is my version:

EntireAlbum-sm

You can see all the versions here.  Or visit the other girls blogs:

I made a little video on how I altered the downloads to suit my album.  At first, I was going to do a tutorial, but if you haven't noticed from my lack of posting, I am so, so sick.  It's is flu city over here and I just can't manage to get it done.  So, instead, you get 3.5 minutes of fast forward Photoshop fun!  Basically you can see me take this .pdf image from Wilna:

CoffeAlbumDemo-befor
and transform it into this album page:

CoffeAlbumDemo-after

Finally, take a peek at the upper left hand corner of my blog.  I added a "Google Translator" widget, so now you can choose a language, any language, and my blog will translate into that language for you!  I hope this makes it easier for some of you international readers!

Thanks for stopping by!
