*I took this photo of my daughter recently and used an app to make her face look like an 18th Century painting. Then I blended some textures and flowers into the photo to keep the theme going :D For January Challenge #4 - Big Photo using: The Poet's Keepsakes (with everything in it!) by Lorie...

Had to scrap my newest favorite of Christmas songs. Combining two kits from Lorie Davison was the perfect way to go.

I absolutely love ABBAs new Christmas song!

I love blues so I thought it would be a fun challenge to try and make the Christmas border/setting as blue as possible. I ended up using a ton of designers' Christmas/winter elements. So much fun!

I started this lay out 10 May 2018 with a vague idea (I wanted Matt with antlers on a shark, great idea of Lori Davis) but I dreaded working with the pen. Now I have followed several courses in Illustrator and Photoshop I not afraid of that thing anymore ;) So I cutted the antlers and the rider...

For October Challenge #5 - Artist Inspiration I was inspired by the black and white photos of the water and horizons as well as the lakes in the in color photos. This photo was in color but I decided it would look better in B&W. Created using: The Somewhat Perillous Sea Voyages of Cealio (With...

I heard this quote on Criminal Minds today: Jorge Luis Borges quote: “The future is inevitable and precise, but it may not occur. God lurks in the gaps.” I like that! I believe in the sovereignty of God and it sounds like Jorge Luis Borges does, too! 8/29/21

Done for the July 52 Inspirations Challenge #3 I blended my photo into the background with the Overlay blend mode.

For the July Creative Techniques Challenge Process: 1st I created a Dodge and Burn Layer and darkened the pink area on the left and darkened the trees behind the kids in the photo. 2nd I created depth of field in the layout with the leaves (color picked from trees in photo) and the butterflies.

Photo is mine edited in PSE15.

Created for Lorie Davison Somewhere Near The Sea. What a fabulous Collection -it's so full of wonderful backgrounds, elements, paints and word art that it's hard to decide which ones to use! Be sure to pick up this collection today for your summer beach photographs.

Done for the July Poems and Lyrics Challenge. Where is the hay? Sly is enjoying the hay!

We arrived at the Currituck Lighthouse at 2:45 p.m. after traveling all day across Virginia and North Carolina.
