Another wonderful Russel Ray Day

How I Did It

Earlier today I was doing some camping and replying to some comments when Sheri (sherijkennedyriverside) commented about anticipating “another wonderful Russel Ray day.” That made my day and I wondered if I could do something with that phrase.

Coincidentaly I was studying CorelDRAW X6 and Photo-Paint X6 when I came across the chapter on animated GIFs.

Ergo, my first animated GIF:

  1. Camping. Studying. Camping. Studying.
    Just doesn’t seem right……………

  2. Awesome! I want to learn how to do that. Good things usually come when you are having fun!!!

  3. Hi,
    I love animated gifs, I think you have done very well putting all this together, it looks great. :)

  4. so much fun! and I always adore the cat-approved stamp! :)

  5. I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. :-) M.A.

  6. Wow! Great job on the artwork!! And you have now officially made my day too! Nothing makes me happier than giving an inspiration spark to a fellow artist and seeing a new creation come alive. How much fun is this! How will I sleep tonight after getting so excited….I guess with a smile on my face. :)

  7. What’s the story behind Zoey the cool cat?….

  8. your blog looks very attractive. loved the thing you have done with the slideshow.

      • i once tried to find the way of adding one simple slideshow to my blog post but couldnot find the way. :)

        • This, though, is an animated GIF rather than a slideshow. It doesn’t have the good color that a simple slideshow will have.

          Anyone can add a slideshow but you’re limited to only the WordPress approved slideshow, and it’s not a very good one.

          Pretend that you are going to insert a picture into your post. Go through all the same motions but instead of adding the picture, scroll to the very bottom of your insert picture window. There you will find “Insert Gallery” and “Insert Slideshow.” Check Slideshow.

          Insert Gallery will insert a bunch of tiny thumbnails and Insert Slideshoe creates a slide show of all the pictures in your post. Therein lies the problem. You can’t pick and choose which pictures are in the slide show, their order, how fast they slide, etc.

          WordPress needs to do some work on it. “Primitive” comes to mind.

  9. Camping is a great fun. I am sure you might have enjoyed lot. I had been to camping for 2 times with my friends. I feel glad when I see any such camping relation experience shared on blog.

  10. I like the animated GIF. Very cheery.

  11. Amazing! I am so jealous. I want to know how to do all kind of computer/photo things. Ugh! Good job!

    • I put it on my daily list of things to do, spending at least 30 minutes each day per program in CorelDRAW, Corel Photo-Paint, and Adobe Photoshop CS6. I know Lightroom and PaintShop Pro X4 now after having them on my list for the last year.
