Making Graphics

Posted on by ModGirl

The last few days I’ve been making graphics using an online AI generator. It started out as a whim to see if what I created was worth my trouble, lol. When I started using the AI generator it wasn’t doing a very good job of making anything I wanted to keep but the more things I added to the prompt the better the graphics were starting to come out. I also found a few sites that will help you write out your prompts to create better graphics. That helped a lot. Apparently just writing in stuff like “retro toon girl” wasn’t working very well. But after adding other things to it, it turned out much better.

Anyway, that’s one of the main reasons why I brought back my Mod Girl Graphics website. I thought I would offer some large packages of graphics for sale that I created. I have been looking at Etsy lately and I keep finding some really nice clipart and graphics that were created using AI generators. So, I figured if they can do that, then so could I. RIGHT? And honestly, I really like how some of these graphics I am creating are turning out. They are way better than when I first started using the AI generators. I guess the AI generators have evolved rather quickly from everyone using them so much. And that’s another thing that I found interesting also. The more you make using the same prompt and deleting what you don’t like and downloading what you do want to keep, actually relays that back to the generator and in return it gets smarter. It’s learning what you like and what you don’t and turning out better images for you each time.

It’s really something to think about. If you’ve been having trouble trying to use the AI generators just try doing that yourself and see if it helps. Because it sure has helped me. Anyway, Thanks for stopping by and hugs, Mod Girl.

Buy My Store is BACK

Posted on by ModGirl

Okay, so I removed my wordpress installation and I’m back to using a static HTML page for my SigTagKits.com website. I also brought back the Buy My Store sale. You can now purchase ALL of my tagger kits by making one purchase. After the purchase has been completed I will send a link to the login area where all my tagger kits are located so they can be downloaded.

This should make things a little easier for those who want to purchase my tagger scrap kits in the future.

On another note, I have been preoccupied with other going-on’s lately that have nothing to do with web sites or making signature tags. Hubs and I both got a head cold and I am already over mine and he finally got over his, but not until his back started giving him problems. This past weekend he was ill and let me just say; “HARD TO LIVE WITH” because he apparently couldn’t do anything for himself the entire time. So, I had to take care of him but he still is not any better. And he is the most stubbornness person I have ever known. Now, for those who don’t know, I myself have been having issues with a back problem for a very long time now. And over the years I have found ways to help my back and deal with the pain. I also know that lying on my back for at least 8 hours will pretty much fix my problem (most of the time).

And another thing you probably don’t know about me is that I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. Nope, I don’t even take aspirin or Tylenol. BUT, when the pain becomes too unbearable for me at times I will use some icyhot and if that doesn’t work I will take a generic version of tylenol. And I only take one of those pills. Now, hubs on the other hand has been taking tylenol somewhere between 3 to 4 pills at a time. And he has been doing this for many years. I keep telling him that taking all that tylenol is not good for him but he says it helps. And, I don’t see HOW IT HELPS if he has to take so much of it each time. When his back started hurting I told him he would need to lie on his back for awhile. He didn’t listen. So now, it’s even worse. Like I said. STUBBORN.

It’s almost like living with a grown child sometimes. You try and tell them what would make them feel better and they don’t listen. And apparently they think they know better than you do. Well, he went to work on Monday and came back home soon after because he couldn’t do anything. This morning is no better. I’m sitting here at the computer and see him trying to get to the bathroom medicine cabinet to grab the tylenol again. 4 more pills he pops into his mouth. I don’t think that’s going to do much good I tell him. He grumbles something incoherent back to me and walks back to bed. At this point I don’t know what to do to help him because he is so stubborn he just won’t take any advice I give him. Oh well. Like any child I guess he has to learn the hard way. lol.

Anyway, that’s the fun stuff I’ve been up to lately. Thanks for stopping by and hugs

Good Morning!

Posted on by ModGirl

Today is my birthday! Happy birthday to me, lol. OMG, I am getting so old. And you know how I know I’m getting old? My body keeps fighting with me. One day I might feel fantastic and the next day, it’s like my body decided to go on strike or something. And when the temperatures drop (like they have been lately) my body goes through these changes. Years ago when we had a big snow fall here, I fell off the back steps from the ice on them. I landed on my ass and I think I cracked my tail bone because now whenever it rains or it gets cold, my back hurts like crazy.

And these days, it’s not only my back but also my hands and my feet hurt sometimes too. I guess from all the years of walking so much and crafting with my hands does make a difference later in life. When I lived in AZ I would strap one of my kids in a stroller and walk from one place to another. Once I walked from Phoenix to Glendale in a day. I would do stuff like that almost everyday too. And it’s crazy to think how you did things in the past that you would never do today.

Anyway, just thinking about how old I am today. I guess birthdays will do that to a person. I hope you have a wonderful day today! I’m going to try to have one myself and see how that goes. Thanks for stopping by and hugs,

Crafting Again

Posted on by ModGirl

So, winter is a good time to sit inside where it’s warm and do some crafting. The past week I made 4 new journals. Below are previews and listed from left to right are the following;  An altered book journal, a flip-flop journal, an accordion journal and a one signature Valentine kitty theme journal.

journals I made

Yup, I’ve been pretty busy crafting and I’m loving every minute of it, lol. Oh, and I have some old packaging from a club cracker box and thought I would make a journal out of that too. I love recycling packaging from trash like that and they can make some great covers for journals too. When I get a chance, I will show you some of the other journals I created using food packaging too.

Anyway, just thought I’d show you what I’ve been up to lately. Of course I am still making tags for my online group too. But in-between doing that, I’ve been making journals and crocheting too. Got to keep busy these days because time is starting to fly by and I’d hate to wake up one morning and think, wow, I could have done this or that but I never did. I’m sure the world is full of should have’s from people all over the place. The trick is, don’t be one of them.

Thanks for stopping by and hugs,
