here's one using my "define" and coffeeshop eye bright

my first

"fantasy" layout. i'm not sure i like it but i didn't like the background on this photo. i feel like something is missing. the page is quite empty but it took me a good 4+ hours on this dumb page so i'm done. :)

tips and tricks

i came across this post on kristin aagard's blog (in the blog roll to the right) and it's full of links to different tutorials from beginner to intermediate and some on photography.

it's been a while

and boy, does it show.

no matter how good the picture is

it can always look better with photoshop

and on the flip side...the picture can come out crappy

and you can FIX it with photoshop.

actually i'm really surprised these turned out the way they did
considering the original shot is so terrible.

i couldn't make up my mind when i edited this photo. i like all of them.

new with a redo

neW oneS

the last one isn't quite finished but it will be awhile before
i work on it some more so i thought i'd post it now.

before and after

i stole this photo from jennie's blog! HAHAHA :)

can you tell which is before?

i used this action ( i can't rememeber what it's called) because the originals were kind of grainy and when I lightened them they looked "off" so i just made them look older

parents' book.

i am making my parents a book (similar to the books jennie had made for jared's grandparents) with my "free" inkubook book i won! being half way finished i now have a new respect for jennie for not only doing one book, but TWO! it's a TON of work and very time consuming. but, i think, very worth it in the end. so here are my scrap pages for my book.

i copied some of my previous layouts i had done with mack, but tweaked them a little. my favorite page is nathan's. and my second is drayson's.



and in case you were wondering, i hadn't noticed that 3 out of 4 of roxy's kids have rainbows on their page. i love rainbows :)




so that's all that are done (or done minus the sentiments)...well except for mack's but his page has already been posted on this blog and my page is half done. so stay tuned...or not. :)

love in b&w

i hate the first one. the second one is better but i don't LOVE it.
