my cousin Amanda- part one!

So my beautiful cousin Amanda came to visit us last weekend, we left the girls with Jaydon and headed off to take these pictures... we didnt go far, we took all these locally... but it was SO much fun. I dusted off my fish eye lens and played with it for most of these shots, and I am SO glad I did.... I think I may have rekindled my relationship with the fisheye. :) We braved the pigeons for these shots!! We could hear them flying above us, and no joke... we heard one drop a bomb not too far...

Design team Share- Fresh Art Photography

I'm back with more inspiration! :) Jodie from Fresh Art shared these pictures using the new Very Merry, and Very Merrier overlay sets, and I just HAD To share... they were so adorable. My first thought when I seen them was "awwww." I think you'll agree... Isnt that outfit just ADORABLE? Its so sweet! In the picture above she also used the text shape from the ahoy! set. I'm smitten with this little girl, I can almost smell that fresh new baby smell... :) Anyhow, I'll just be content pretending I smell it, because I don't think I want anymore... Read more →

video tutorial: how to load your shapes + a FREE shape!

I FINALLY did it!! I made a video/slideshow of the steps it takes to load your shapes into photoshop. :) Of course this video doesnt cover unzipping your shapes. But that part is pretty easy anyhow. ;) To celebrate I decided to offer a FREE trial shape for everyone to play around with. Hopefully this way, you will feel a little more comfortable purchasing a set. :) See the heart below in the adorable photo by rosie? ...well, that is the shape I'm letting you guys play with, I hope you have fun with it!

Design team Share- Amelia Moore Photography

Hello!! How ARE you!? :) A few of the photographers on my design team have had a chance to play with the Very Merry and Very Merrier Overlay sets, so I'll be sharing they're super inspiring work over the next few days. Both sets are currently 35% off, and will be for the next 6 days...

I love it when brothers think of you before hauling off old treasures...

Isnt this little t.v. just the sweetest thing? My brother saved it from an uncles scrap pile for ME. :) He called me a couple weeks ago, asking if I would be interested... I have to admit, at first I hesitated... where would I store it, along with the other two vintage portable radio/t.v.s I had picked up awhile back? But he assured me it was small, and I have to say it really is the perfect size. I could not have found a better sized t.v. It also has just the right amount of retro-ness to it. :) It...

a quote for your week chap. 43

I am definitely guilty of "just getting wet" I need reminders like this to remind myself to really enjoy and appreciate each and every drop of rain, and every minute of life given to me... you know use it to its fullest potential, do more then just "exist." :) We left town Thursday night for a funeral... funerals are never fun, but we really enjoyed the weekend. Spending time with family and friends, and the weather in Oregon was beautiful! Happy monday!! Does it seem like the weather is cooling down where you live? It sure has been here this... Read more →

Hello!! How IS everyone? I hope good!!

lost at sea...

Isn't this just adorable!? :) Hannah (from my design team) sent me this picture and I just about melted. It is all kinds of cute. She used 5 shapes from the "ahoy" overlay set. :) -anyhow, I thought you might need a dose of cute. ;) I *should* be releasing 2 new Christmas themed Overlay sets sometime today!

Holiday Card Templates RELEASED!

Hi! I hope you had a great weekend! Earlier today we went to a local ranch our friend manages. She takes in abused and neglected horses, and those destined for slaughter and gives them an incredibly awesome temporary home, she then finds a perfect home and adopts them out. She has a heart as big as Texas. :) I'll be sure and share some of the pictures I took in the next couple of days, the ranch is a photographers dream... so many neat photo opps there! Anyway though... onto the reason for this post... the holiday cards! :) I... Read more →
