How Cool is This?

Google Spell with Flickr.

This reminds me of a picture I took in Chicago of Chicago spelled with items, landmarks of Chicago.

Fun.

It doesn't show up as one line posted???

One Sadly Ignored Spot or You are Here!

At least one exciting thing, off tomorrow to the Beta Spraguefest in Chicago. It is going to be a major Girl's Night Out! Sixteen or so of us total strangers are going to rock the Hyatt for 3 days and 2 nights.

I am just a little nervous having not flown in years, but O.K. with it.

So, I will be back on Sunday starting the new Digi Photo class with Candice Stringham, I am so excited about the class because I really want to know what I am doing with my DSLR. I want to take photos that are art.

Another Storyboard

I love these! Plus, I cannot believe sites have them for sale and now I know how to make them! Gotta love that.

I have a link on a previous post for Photoshop Friday tutorial for creating a storyboard. Additional, info about this one. I copied the pics from the internet and used Kimi's High Pass tutorial. Also, Vera Lim Magic swirl and Beautiful ES font.

TFL.

Have a great weekend!

Today's photo.

The Old Homestead

Kimi's Sketch Tutorial and Nicole Van Texture.

Header Change

I just wanted to change the header. Originally, I intended to change it monthly and with a seasonal theme. I liked the cute birdie on the previous one, so just left it for a couple months.

Also, going to add the photo-of-the-day that I did for today.

Kimi's Water Color Tutorial and Scrap Artist Gypsy Chick Artistic Photo Frames.

Back to the Blog

This is one pretty ignored place!

Had a great time in Oley and actually got about 10 miles to the gallon!

I have several photos to post and a LO. I still have to complete DID at JessicaSprague.com. I have not completed Week 3 or 4. I have been taking part in a new challenge there-a photo-a-day in May. I hope I will be able to keep it up when we go out-of-town. I don't imagine I will have an internet connection in the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA or at Jane's in WV. There will be a lot of great photo ops there, tho.


This LO is of my grand-niece. My nephew Mark and his wife Sirlei's newborn baby girl.

Here name is Elisa Duarte Farley. Her middle name is her mother Sirlei's maiden name. That is the tradition in Brazil. Elisa was born April 17.

Back to my old bad habits; I didn't keep track of the credits! Think I remember most. The background paper is DD KPertiet Song Bird and the Alpha is from DD KPertiet King Me Kit. Also, the "sticker" on the left side of the large photo is from King Me. The brush work around the outer perimeter is DD KPertiet Floral Edgers. Font: Sweet baby girl-Bleeding Cowboys. Clock and Treasured Memory Stamp also DD KPertiet. The plume flourish on the bottom right of the large photo is DD Anna Aspnes. The flourished swirl under the words are Jen Wilson. I remembered everything!

Here are the photos I have been working on for photo a day.







On the following three photos, I used Kimi's Sketch Tutorial.




The following is a storyboard created from Photoshop Friday. The tutorial is easy!!! And the result has dramatic. The storyboard has SO many uses!


This is a start at better blogging!

for stopping by!

DID Digi in Deep Course

We are going to Oley for the Perkiomen AMCA Swap Meet; yea, we are going even tho diesel is about $4.25 here and we get a big 9 miles per gallon in the motorhome. Yes, we have been to Oley many times! Who can pass up fun; not us?

I do want to upload the couple LO's from the new class.

The following is Week 1, Lesson 1a.



This on e is Week 1, Lesson 1b and the Intention Challenge. I combined the two.

The following is Week 2, Lesson 2a.






Have a great weekend!

Completed LO's for Up & Running

My niece Lindsey has become engaged! She is in love with the Wizard of Oz (and Roy, too) and her wedding reception theme is The Wizard of Oz. I needed a little child picture of her and of Roy for the 2 red glitter rectangles. I had a lot of trouble with the text on the circle top.

Week 4 Lesson 1


This LO required turning the photo to Sepia. Actually, I don't care for it in Sepia. So, I created a second with the photo as is...,

I think the tones in the photo are better suited to this paper.

The last LO for Up and Running was creating a trapezoid photo block.

Michael's girlfriend's little girl.

A couple of other things I have been playing around with...,

Redfield Bas Relief



Cottage Arts Tutorial Creating Art Work...,







I cannot get the original photo the intensity that I would like. Have to work on that.

I found both of these on Sunny's 12 of 12 Blog.
