Playing With Pictures

This week has been absolutely crazy and it's only Tuesday. We have company coming Monday and we are tackling a lot of items on the to-do list before they get here. They are all things that should have been done a long time ago but now we have motivation. My kitchen now has one red wall (and when I say red, I mean RED). It's the color I have wanted on that wall for about 4 years & after five coats I have it! Also, last week I got this crazy idea to peel the 80's style wallpaper off our bathroom walls. I was totally fine with it gone, I knew one day it would have fresh paint. Well, we are in the process of painting right now. One coat is on & it should be done by tomorrow. Then the baseboard in the front bathroom has never been painted (my fault). So, before Dale & his wife get here I will have paint on the baseboards in there. That's a lot to do in less than one week but it is doable. And, whenever I can sneak a few minutes on the computer, I am still taking that class online from www.jessicasprague.com/ It's overwhelming some times but I am learning so much. Here are a few more of the pictures I have been playing with. Some are better than others & some are just plain yuck. But I am learning about the process & playing around!

More Fun Pictures

"The more I play with pictures the more excited I get about taking more pictures to play with!" -Chris Greenley There's a quote for the books;)

Oh I'm Having Too Much Fun!

Oh man, this is just too, too much fun!

More Pictures I Played With

Two more pictures I played with in Photoshop. Taking this online class is great, I am learning so much! http://www.jessicasprague.com/ Check her out when you have some time to play. She has some great tutorials that are so easy to follow. I think she is my new hero!
And I just have to tell you, Lexi thinks she looks scary in her picture so I need to work on her eyes, I'll share it again later!
The weekend word on Spencer's picture is from http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/ yet another lady who rocks my world right now!

Digital Layouts

Ok, so I think I'm addicted already (not so sure this is a good thing). I have played with digital scrapbooking a few times but never for any amount of time. I'm actually worried that it will take over my paper in hand scrapping. I don't know if I'm ready for this. Here is a layout I did this afternoon & man were it quick and easy! I think the hardest thing to do would be to organize all the stuff on the computer (knowing me, I'll lose it somewhere on this machine)! We'll see.

Lesson #2 in Digi World!

Same picture of my great kiddos, different technique in embellishing it. I can see where this digital scrapbooking could be addicting!

Playing In The Digi World

I told you guys about the class I signed up for online a few posts back. Well, it started today and here's my first assignment completed. It's fun & so far I have learned a thing or two about Photoshop. I'll post more projects when I have more time to play!
