Earlier I referred to it as "The Quick and Easy Extravaganza," because I want those new to graphics-making to participate too. The point is to have fun *and* prove how easy it is to be a Creating Superstar. There are links to online-effects programs and instructions in the original post. That is the easy part. Here comes the quick part. For those who don't have time to surf through 5 seasons of screencaps, I've uploaded some for you. Of course longtime graphic-makers are encouraged to participate too! That is why it is titled "Come As You Are." This is all about making something at your ability level, whether it's a fun blingee or a multi-layered graphic.
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just about romantic love. Parents, children, and friends can be some of our most enduring and important relationships, so let's celebrate them too! And Valentine's Day can be turned on its head where we celebrate our dislike of a certain relationship! (At least here it can, I wouldn't call your uncle's new wife and tell her that you don't like her.)
If you have questions about any of this, just ask! No hotlinking, please. For those new to all of this, get a free account at an online picture hosting site, like photobucket.com.
