Random pages

I made a few quick pages for someone and thought that I would use them for some of my own pictures. They are kind of random, just some pictures that I haven't scrapped with yet. Anyway, they were pretty fun!

FYI

Shabby Princess (http://www.shabbyprincess.com/) has a new kit available! I love the kits I have downloaded, they are so cute!!

This is for this week's challenge at Sunshine Studio. Here are the credits. :)

Swimming Lessons

I actually made these pages! Are you impressed?

I made them for Arlyn as I was goofing around on her computer all day Saturday. But then I liked it so much I had to save it to my computer too so I could use it. Plus she has already used her swimming lesson photos! Ok now that I can't see anymore today I will go clean house..... Did anyone else loose their vision when prego?

Another page of old photos...

Here is another page I did of my growing up years (if I've done that yet!). The template is from Tracy Drane.

Camping

We took this picture of Jareds parents while we were camping this summer. Jared's mom loves to take tonz of pictures of all the grandkids, but she hates getting her picture taken. This was such a cute picture that we just had to take it, and she didn't even know we took it! The kit is called "A Little Bit Country" I got it at the Orchard. I used a template for the layout it's also from the Orchard (I think)!

Ice Cream

This was for a challenge at Scrap Orchard. The kit is "Lickity Split" by Ellie Lash. The LO isn't quite done, but Photoshop was wiggin' out on me. I was lucky to just get this much saved as a jpeg (barely).

My old photos

Here is a page that I made for a Sunshine Studios template challenge. I love using my old neighborhood photos!

Here is mine...

Here is my version of Arlyn's Page. THANK YOU!!!! I changed the buttons but that is all.

I'm forgetful

I wanted to participate in a scraplift at Scrap Orchard so I picked these pictures. When I went to save it, I found that I already had a page of Leah at one month. Silly me. I was wondering why I had skipped those pictures!

The kit is "Sweet Baby Rosebud" by JanniScrap Designs. The font is Kunstler Script. Used some brushes for the swirls. I think they came from Shady Medusa. ?

School Started!

Here is the record of our morning. It's such a momentous occasion! This kit is from the August Mega collaboration from Scrap Orchard. (Did you know that scrap orchard has a monthly mega kit and you can buy it during the first week of each month for $3? You have to be brave, though. It's a mystery!)

Meeting Cancled!

The meeting for tonight is Cancled. We will let you know when it is rescheduled for. We didn't get enough ladies to come tonight. Hopefully we will have a better turn out next time.

Swimming Lessons

I did this LO for this week's challenge at Sunshine Studios. The kit is from Miss Mint (Tropical Popsicle) and the template is part of the challenge.

I'm back!!!

I actually have been doing some scrapbooking lately - finished my wedding album :) , made a new kit and have done a few quickpages. I just haven't posted anything in quite a while! Here is a page I made of some pictures of Kaylee (she would not hold still or look at me - what a stinker!) that I hadn't done anything with because I didn't know what to do with them. ;)

I made this with my latest kit - All About Girls! (It's a freebie on my other website in case your interested!)

Yellowstone

I got RAKed at Sunshine Studio. I picked this kit, Road Trip, by PD Plum. I love free!

Digi Scrap Night!!!!

Don't forget that we are getting together tomorrow night at 7:00 at Kristy's house for a digi scrap night. Bring in layouts, books, or anything else for a fun show-and-tell! Also, if there is a technique or something new that you have learned and would like to show us, please come prepared for it. Hope to see you all there!

A LO and a joke

I had an urge to scrap something this morning. I'm supposed to be canning apricots, but I need jars. So I made this one this morning. The kit is a mini kit freebie called "Cottage Chic" from Studio Flergs (at Sunshine Studio).

This picture is a joke for Chad's family. We photoshopped a rifle into his mom's hand. We had a little bit of fun playing around that way.

I am back!

4th of July I got this QP from Heather Ann Designs on Shutterfly's blog

Mouse Hole

I created this LO for a word art challenge at Scrap Orchard. The colors were difficult to work with because everything was so bold and seemed to clash. So I went from 4 pictures to one. I'll have to use the other pics sometime because I edited each of them in some fashion.

Credits

I finally got to do a page!!

I have been organizing the pictures in my computer because we had so many folders and there was no organization, making it hard for me to go in order. So I haven't done a page for weeks. anyway I used a template from SO. The kit is "A Little Bit of Country".I bought it from SO.

I did 2 tutorials...exaggerated for Kristy :)

I found this tutorial in Photoshop Friday for making eyes pop. Rebekah is my one that has the most photogenic eyes so I tried it on one of her photos. It's a subtle, but noticeable change.What do you think?

I exaggerated the techniques used to show the differences. It's way too unnatural at this point, but you can see what the program can do to the eyes.

This tutorial was for giving photos a "dreamlike" look. Again...what do you think?
In this one, I didn't fully desaturate the layers as suggested in the tutorial, so more color is left in the photo. I think this particular picture may have been a bad one to use since the black/dark colors were so much of a contrast to the lighter ones. (But it was cute.) I also added the grunge frame.

Now what do you think?

Fifth Disease

I created this LO for a challenge at Scrap Orchard. Credits here. I tried using shadows and such to give the appearance of curling, but eventually went the safe route and used plain drop shadows. Maybe I should spend more time searching out tutorials so my LO's will be AWESOME! :)

Scrap Night!!!

Kristy and I thought that it would be fun to get together again for a scrap night. I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to bring either a favorite layout they have done or show us how to use a new tool, or whatever you would like to do! So mark you calendars for the 19th of August, 7:00 pm at Kristy's house. Let's all help each other learn something new! See you there! (Leave a comment to let us know if you will be there or not!)

Rebekah

I sat down to whip up a quick LO this afternoon. Five and a half hours later I got it done. I was trying to make the pink paper look a little curled on the BG paper. What do you think? (It's pretty subtle.) I'm bound and determined to figure out that smudge tool! Find the credits here.

Warping

Do you know where to find a good tutorial on warping or bending in Photoshop? I'm trying to find a way to add more dimension to my pages, but there is so little I know about this program!

This was my attempt to figure it out this afternoon. As you can see, I'd do better to learn a little more.

The kit is "Relax" by Summer Driggs.
