Texture Tuesday with Wildheart
Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, and if you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed and get daily updates delivered to you. If you're not sure what the RSS thing is, then check out this 'RSS made easy' post. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing more of you.
Wildheart of Wildheart’s Works brings you Texture Tuesday. Wildheart is a Paintshop Pro expert, but I know you’ll enjoy the tips and tricks even if you’re not a PaintShop Pro user. And you’ll find plenty of ideas to help you work with textures in your own program. In fact in this week’s segment she actually converts a Photoshop tutorial to Paint Shop Pro.
This week I wanted to utilize what is promising to be a very useful Web 2.0 application called FriendFeed to search for some sites that offer quality free textures for either commercial or personal use.
One site that I have actually bought software is listed below as well. The name of the site is The Plug In Site. I bought Harry’s Abstract and Mutation software from there at a reasonable price of less than $20 and the customer service they offer is pretty decent. When I placed an order with them it had been from a previous residence and once I got moved in here I emailed them to let them know of the address change and Harold Heim personaly emailed me telling me that my address changed had been noted and my product was being shipped to the new address.
I hope you enjoy this list of links all of which offer very unique textures. I downloaded two texture packs from Designers-Reovlution. I can say that they are very nice vintage textures which can be used for scrapbook pages you want to create to convey a vintage feel.

I just wanted to mention that the textures from Designer Revolution may need to be cropped before you can use them. I didn’t catch this until last night when I was messing around with paint shop pro. DreamScrapper I am glad that you were able to find this useful. Have a great weekend.
