My other interest is making digital scrapbooking kits. Every two weeks they have a contest for designers. Therefore, the kits are free for the first two weeks. This is mine and the contest ends August 4th, 2012. At Artscow you can make so much more then scrapbooks. You can make personalized gifts for everyone. August 4th also starts a new contest so be watching for mine and many other free digital scrapbook kits.

Thank You Wedding Card

One of the girls I used to work with went to an island to get married.  She asked if I could turn one of her photos into a Thank You card to use when she had her reception back in Canada.

One request was her colours were grey and yellow, while they are posing in front of a blue door.  She wanted to see if I could turn the door yellow to reflect her wedding colours.   My reply was, Yes, I think that it is possible.

Other than that she didn't have any other requests.  Here is what I did.  She was thrilled to say the least.

Brown Eyed Susan by Patricia W @ www.artscow.com

Now that I have introduced you to Artscow! I had designed a kit for Artscow because I couldn't find the exact thing I needed. I didn't realize there was a contest. Surprisingly my kit came in 24th. The top 20 get a prize. This kit I tried a little harder to make a full kit, paper, embellishments, alphas, and frames. If you have an artscow account go and download it, its free. I'm #16 right now with a few more days to go.. Woohoo!

I Heart Faces Photography: "This week's photo comes from Caroline at Frogmum. She writes: 'My daughter is standing in our front garden - I was laying down. It was a beautiful day, but her face was in full shade & looks a bit blurry. She looks too dull against the blue sky. I'd like to be able to pull the whole thing up and make her pop out without losing the beauty of that blue sky.'"

Original Photo

Edit #1

So I wanted to brighten her face without losing the blue sky. This first photo, I used brighten and contrast, and in levels brightened her face. I also used the patch tool to lighten the shadow under her eyes.

Edit #2

The 2nd photo, I selected the girls face with the lasso tool. Than adjusted the brightness. This way just her face was brightened instead of the whole picture.
