Lesson #5 - Adding Texture

This was a cool class but next time I have to find a better photo to use. I also learned how to quickly change a color photo to black and white! Yippee!

Lesson #4

For some reason I really had a hard time with this lesson but finally got it this morning and Jessica is right - I now want to do this with all my photos. This photo was taken July 4th from our deck. What a beautiful sunset!

Phot Editing Class #3 - Create a Vintage Hand Tinted Look

I've always wanted to know how to do this. I obviously need to work on this more but I hope to do this more often.

Photo Editing Class #2 - Brushes

Here is the photo I edited using a brush to add the frame and word "celebrate"! I am learning so much fun stuff!

Look What I Did!

Jessica Sprague is offering a free photo editing class. I have Photoshop Elements but have no idea how to do anything so I thought this class would be very helpful. This is the result from the first class. Pretty cool!!

Simply Obsessed Got Talent

Although I didn't win a Guest DT spot, I had a great time completing all the challenges.

This challenge was to pick three things from a list. Mine was black cardstock, bling and sheet music.



Another challenge was to alert something and I chose a composition book for Emma.



This was a sketch challenge and I had to do the sketch!! Yikes this was a first for me but I love the layout of Cameron, Stacie, Andrea and Patti!



And some fussy cutting - using a picture of Emma and her cousins Allison and David!




An Art Piece challenge - using some old vacation photos.



A stitching challenge- Emma and her cousin Peyton after Peyton's Christening.



Stamping Challenge featuring our grandson Jace!



Creative Embelishment Challenge - Emma before her dance recital - such a little cutie!



And finally a bonus challenge featuring Emma being silly!

Spring Scrapping

Here are a few layouts I've done this spring.

These pictures were from Emma's 6th birthday party at our house. Emma, Paige and Allison.



Emma being Emma!



Mom Mom and Pop Pop - I still love this man!!!



Emma and her pup! Stacie and Werner had two dogs before Emma was born and got Allie a few years ago. Allie is definitely Emma's dog!
