Photo Fun

I've been feeling very 'Blah' in several aspects of my life lately. One of them is this here blog, my photo taking habits and the fact that those photos never make it out of cyberspace and into print. I happened upon an email in my inbox a couple weeks ago advertising a free photo-editing class by Jessica Sprague, a scrapbooker whose work I admire, on her website. The class started this week and it has been a needed boost to my creative brain that gathers cobwebs too often from lack of time. I highly recommend any classes on her website. She is a great teacher and makes Photoshop much less intimidating. I am a self taught, putterer on Photoshop, so it's nice to take a quick lesson from someone who knows what they are doing.

Here is my first try. Took 10 minutes with watching the lesson. So easy.*Before*

*After*

I needed to crop this photo to 4x6 horizontal and my Jessie helped me add the frames and layers. The best part about the classes on Ms. Sprague's site is that once you sign up and/or pay for the classes you always have access to them. Lots of fun!
