Love That Shot Link Up – Sept 30

My sweet friends at Love That Shot have outdone themselves this time. Not only have they created an amazing photography/editing/scrapbooking site and forum board, but they have started hosting awesome giveaways and a weekly picture-link up party. Well, this week their link up party gets even more enjoyable because the pictures linked up will be […]

Photoshop Elements Action – Giveaway

I had planned to just share this at Facebook, where I do my regular giveaways, but since it has been down today, I am going to post in on my blog. Someone asked me yesterday if I had an action similar to Lilyblue’s Honey. I have never seen it nor do I have any of […]

Use Photo Filters to Warm or Cool Images in PSE

Will I Survive??

Moving Forward Monday What better way to start my first personal blog post here than by talking about the child that keeps my life interesting! Nate. Yep, I am sharing his name with the world. Why?  I figured the prayers you say for him and me might be more powerful if you could call him […]

Everyday Elements Blog

My first official post to the Everyday Elements blog! For those who know me and my other sites, don’t worry, this will not be another blog to try to keep up with; I am shutting down Moving Forward and Photography Haven. I just cannot manage all of them and as sad as it is to […]

Photography: Rock What You Have!

This post was moved over from Photography Haven. I know you have to have been told this before, so why am I preaching it here? Well, because it is advice that is so often ignored. Everyday I read about someone upgrading their camera or editing software because their old ones did not give them the […]
