senashentaI have four (4) freaking button making machines (three different sizes of buttons) and all the button parts for them and I haven't been able to USE THEM in MONTHS because thebuttonguy.net went down and never came back up. That was the site I was using to design and print all my button patterns, and without it I'm BONED because I suck at photoshop and don't know how to design button pages on there. Not to go back to Poe again, but they were supposed to be teaching me how to use photoshop before they abandoned me, and now I'm just... floundering.
I've figured out how to do simple text buttons with a flat color background using Vograce's templates (one button at a time), but they aren't meant to be printed, they're for sending in to Vograce themselves for THEM to manufacture the buttons for you. So that's what I've been doing with a few buttons the last couple of months, but like... I had SO MANY buttons with beautiful backgrounds and everything on thebuttonguy.net and when they went down I lost all my designs and everything because they were stored in my account there. On photoshop I can't even figure out HOW to insert an image as a background. =/
It's very disheartening and frustrating and I'm kicking myself for not backing up all my designs on my own computer. Like, come on Sena, what were you THINKING??
EDIT: Coincidentally, the last of my Vograce button orders came in today so now I have no excuse not to photograph them all and get them up in my Etsy store. Yaaaaaaay. /sarcasm Photographing stuff is my least favorite thing about selling online. :P
