I’m taking two design classes this semester at a local community college and am learning how to use both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. They are both truly amazing programs, and I’m finding you could sit & play for hours in front of the computer! Here’s one of my first vector images that I’ve created from scratch using Illustrator. I found a great online tutorial HERE to give me a guideline to follow and added my own twist to the design. TFL & Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hi! My name is Laura Griffin and I’m a Sr. Finance Mgr by day and a designer by night. This blog is dedicated to sharing all things creative with you... from papercrafting to polymer clay, painting, music recordings, and more!
Once or twice a year, I’ll also take you along on my global travel adventures so you can share in the journey!

Hi Laura,
Nice tree you made here. Did you made it with a Wacom Pen Tablet or did you made it with the mouse?
Thanks,

You can use either – but I did make it with a Wacom tablet (gives you a little more flexibility and feels more like drawing). It just takes a little getting used to if you’ve never used one before.
