Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh thank you for the advices ; i'm going to look at these free web builders, but i'm still open for the construction purposes.

Does some of you are building websites? How much it would be and could you teach me how to update it by adding new photos and eventually take off  photos? If you want, you can answer by private messages. Thank you, irene

Hi From a french teddy maker Sylvia :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Maybe you can also by patterns at your fabrics store and adapt them to your bear size.

Hi Kelli   They are really beautifull. I especialy love the second

I'm soo happy, i did it HOURRAAAA. Thank you Shelly. It didn't work the first time because i had to change the format and reduce the photos

Judi, this ishow i work with Publisher. First, you can choose different documents formats like cards, banners, index cards.....
Then you can choose an existing design if you don't want to build your own
Then, you can change the colors of this design
You can also build yourbackgroung by clicking on FORMAT-BACKGROUNDS[img]http://www.teddy-

You can add what you want to this background like i did here with flowers frame and text
I hope that my explanations are not too confusing Sorry in advance, Irene

OOOPPPSSS it doesn't work; i'm desperate now    

Thank you so much shelli for your explanations. My son i law told me that he think that my editing photo program is not enought high quality to do what i want Now i'm going to search of a good program. I don't know if Photoshop elements is translated in french and where to find one, but i'm going to look by google search. I did what you advise about screen capture, but i'm not sure i did it well. When i open a new document with the photo editing, it ask to choose the amount of pixel i want. I choose 1250x850. When i check by opening the saved image, it look small and i have hard time to read. I would want to schow to Judi how i can build backgrounds with The Publisher program. I hope that photos will upload here

I love him

Hey Judy, does your husband wash them? they are so clean. I think that people named MARK or MARC are sentimental and very kind and working people. Guess what? I'm maried with an MARC      Do you sell some cows to be eat or do you have them just for the milk? Thank you for this life show

FABULOUS Danny :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  Irene

Hi and THANK you soo much to try to help Shelly, the saving image is GIF. Does i erase the background AFTER i extracted the head? This is the software i use. Shelly, can you tell me how to show what i have on the screen, it will be more easy to me than try to describe how i use Microsoft Publisher to build the backgrounds. Thank Shelly. i also have another s photo editing calls: ARCTSOFT PHOTOSHOP PRO and KODAK EASY SHARE.

Thank you Sonya and penny. Sonya, that's what i did. I copied and past the extracted bear head , but instead of having just the head, the head have his own white background This is what i done:
1) built a background with publisher software
2) Selected a bear photo with my photoshop editing program
3) selected the edge of the bear head and the pixels that i wanted to keep, then clicked OK
4) What i have now on the screen is the selected bear head with a squared backgroud
5) I copied and paste it in my files folder
6) Opened the avatar background in publisher
7) Clicked on Insertion, then open the extracted head, then OK
But the extracted head is surroud by a white background
What i'm i doing wrong?

Hi. i decied to set apart my bearmaking to learn how to use my photo editing program and publisher (thank you Shelly) . i try to build some hand tags for my bears and a new avatar. I built the background with Publisher and extracted a bear head withmy photo editing software wich i want to upload on the background . How can i do that without having a white background on the extracted head? Oh i hope that's make sens? irene

Hi Anne. to be honest, it look scary for me.BUT, maybe if the photo was much clear and the bear in another position like to be seatting it would look less scary? I hope i didn't heart you 

Thank you Patsy and penny. i'm going to look there.
