Moving Forward Monday – October 4th

Not much going on with me personally to share about, other than I am probably working too much. 😉 Don’t worry, that will slow down once I have a few things wrapped up this week. Anyway, I want to share a few things that are going on this week that I do not want you […]

Fix It Friday #73

I love this week’s Fix It Friday! Kelli, a fellow South Carolinian and I Heart Faces contributor, provided this sweet picture of her beautiful daughter. It was a great picture, SOOC, and needed very little real help. To do a clean edit I used Photoshop Elements 9 and did a few Levels adjustments, a Hue/Saturation […]

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

Moving Forward Monday – Life Trials

The button I made above is kind of laughable, I know. I am not a graphic designer and that was the best I could do this morning. When I can, I will have Kim at Madilu Designs whip up some more files for me. In the mean time I have to just do my best, […]

Love That Shot Link Up

Instead of doing the Fix It Friday with I Heart Faces this week I am going to join in with Love That Shot’s link up party. This is a shot of my second son that I took last weekend, while getting shots for my photography workshop. I didn’t meter on the right spot, so his […]

Tweak White Balance With Levels

Today I am going to share how to correct White Balance issues in your pictures with a Levels adjustment in Photoshop Elements (applies to regular PS also). I am not going to explain what White Balance is, that is a whole other post, and until I get to it, here is a great one by […]

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 […]
