Nik Filters!
I went to the Austin Photo Expo today and learned about some Awesome Photoshop Plugins!
Here is my photo SOC (straight out of the camera) of the beautiful Miss Gracie...

And here it is after using the "Viveza" plugin to amp up the sky and brighten Gracie's shirt...

One of the most awesome parts about it is thta it only took about 5 minutes AND no selection tool required!
Awesome!!!

Of Laptops, iPhones, and Digi-ness
Thursday, September 17, 2009
Fry's has got to be CRA-SEE! I Love that I have a 5 YEAR warranty on my laptop that also provides a loaner laptop when mine's in the shop! This is the 3rd time this year I've had my laptop in the shop. It might be the final time. IF that is the case--I get to keep this Brand-spankin-new one! SHINY!
In other news...Caleb is waiting anxiously for his new (refurbished) iPhone to come in. He has already located about 20 'apps' including The Bible! *How Cool is That!*
On to the Digi-ness...I just signed up for Jessica Sprague's Type+Writer class. It's true-I love to make visually impactful scrapbooking layouts--but when it comes to adding the journaling to the page to tell the story I suddenly have a creative block. I am hoping that by taking this course I will unlock the stories to go with my pages.
I am having a hard time getting to Photoshop to install for some reason... BUT I will get there.

My friend Andi Maddux told me about the "Pioneer Woman" website a long time ago, but I have never taken the time to download the actions for Photoshop.
These are SO cool!
This is the original:
This is the 'Colorized' action

Grid Scrapping!
Ali Edwards has a weekly tutorial on her blog and this week she invited Cathy Zielske to share. I have seen this style for quite a while, but never put together the fact that it could really provide me a HUGE breakthrough to overcome my perfectionism and actually Get some of my photos Scrapped! I was perusing the photos from Christmas 2004 on my backup drive and it struck me that I could use this to present all the snapshots... so here it is!

Jacob's Baptism
Monday, July 13, 2009
I got a cool template from Jessica Sprague and did this one digitally first. I printed the large photo on matte presentation paper and the series on glossy photo paper. Twyla will laugh because on the template the photos are supposed to be straight, but when I started my placement I like them better skewed :)
Thank you for looking!

Baptism Pages
Yay! I'm scrapping the baptisms from last year! I wanted to keep the pages simple and put the emphasis on the photos. My Digital Rebel is @ Camp with the guys, so the clarity and color isn't Super, but I wanted to share:
