Batgirl!!

Samantha participated in the costume day at school today! This was her first time in high school to do that, and I was so proud that she did, and she just looked so cute!!! Love you girl!

And here's another

Digital Scrapbooking

How can I even get started with this when I have a whole scrapbook room of stuff???
I have no clue, but here I am...digitally scrapbooking my pictures. Well at least 2 pages today. Here is one of them!

Overdone and picture perfect.

So, Sunday Samantha decided she looked too good to just change after church, so we went outside and took some pictures.  I am considering these her school pictures since she has decided not to order school pictures anymore I guess.  Since I took them and I am learning my Elements program, I merged the 2 and tried some new techniques to enhance the pics.  A few may be overdone, but that is all the process of discovery, and I like them, so I kept them.  Don't worry, I have an original copy, so nothing is ruined. 

I love this picture, and am still deciding on the text box, or font.  It is still in psd format so I can change anything about it. But also have the original.  Should have posted the before and after.  May do that later. 

This one I layered 2 pics, blurred the bottom pic and cut samantha out of the top pic and kind of sat her back onto the bottom picture.  I love it.  Samantha think it looks fake!

This one I saturated quite a bit to bring out the greens of the trees since they were in shadow, but I left her face pretty untouched, because she is just beautiful in her own right and doesn't need saturated!  That's a mommy talking though!

Photoshop edits!

Have to post my newest hobby.  I am trying to learn the program and I did not realize that it could do so much.  I can't wait for some more free time to play!

Scrapbook Convention Tradition!

Every August my niece Jana and I get together and attend classes at the CKC scrapbook convention in Tulsa. We go down on a Thursday night, and then my sister Patsy brings the girls Samantha and Emily down on Friday after school.  Saturday is spent with the girls doing make and takes and eating out!
