Pretty in Pink


This is one of my favorite pictures of my little girl. And I love that I wasn't even looking through the camera when I took it :)

Fix-It Friday 52




It's Fix-It Friday time! I am currently editing while my son watched TV instead of eating breakfast....hmmmmm...I probably need to get my priorities straight :)

Here is the original photo:

With my first edit I tried to do something creative...I don't really love how it turned out, but I spent time on it, so I figured I'd post it anyway :)

My second edit was a black and white edit.

And then a sepia toned:

I think I 'over burned' the edges...but my kid needs breakfast, so I had to stop playing...

Fix-It Friday 51

It's fix-it Friday! Here is this week's shot:

And my edit.

I tried for quite a while to make a 'scrapbook-y' looking thing on photoshop (elements 7) but I couldn't make it look right...I was trying to figure out how to round the edges...any tips?

"Collages" Photo Challenge

This week at I heart faces they are doing a collage theme for their contest. I could resist putting this collage I made for Abuela this past Christmas. She's got some cute grandkids!

Fix-It Friday #50

It, once again, has been awhile since I've participated. I just finished my first trimester of my second pregnancy...so I'm REALLY hoping life will return to normal and I will be able to participate more often :)

Here is this week's photo:

And my edit:

I opened the picture in Camera Raw and adjusted the exposure, temperature, brightness and saturation a bit.
I smoothed out the face a little, burned the edges, and adjusted for skin tone.
I played around a little with the saturation, but it was making everything look crazy :)
I can't remember what else I did...
Now I just need to go work on the hundreds of pictures that I have 'to be edited' of my own... :)

Fix-It Friday #42



It seems like it's been FOREVER since I've been able to participate! This morning my son woke up in a foul mood...so I put him back to bed (which actually helped...) and I sat down to work on this while he worked out his tantrum :)
Here is the original: (beautiful as it is!)

And my edit:

We were challenged to use textures...I used this one from here.
