FLOWER POWER

I wanted to play again with changing a color photo to black & white and then bringing back a touch of color.  Again I used the Corel  Draw program.

This time I used a picture that my sister-in-law took.  I hope you enjoy this one. 

Praise god and Happy Easter to everyone.

Original photo that is gorgeous to begin with.

The after effect with just the yellow.

COREL PAINTSHOP PHOTO PRO X3

I learned something new with my Corel program.  I have had it for a while and just keep learning a little bit and then I use it and then I go back to learn some more.  Today I learned how to take a color photo, change it to black and white and then add a touch of color back in.  I found a picture on a blog that I really liked for a kitchen and what I want my kitchen to look like. I hope you enjoy this and if you are looking for a great photo editing software, I would so suggest this program.

BEFORE W/ ALL COLOR

SASSY THANG!

I had 2 birthday cards that I was asked to make. 

 I came across this digital download from

On the inside of both cards, it says

"Happy Birthday You Sassy Thang".

SUPPLIES: All supplies are from my stash unless otherwise noted.

Happy Easter

I wanted to try the technique called Bum pain background found on the videos on My Digital Studio.  I was just playing around and wanted to try the circle instead of the square as I wanted hills.  So I was just going through the downloads and decided on a few from my Easter section.  I hope you enjoy!

MDS BIRTHDAY CARDS

I made a couple of quick and simple cards on MDS for birthdays.  One is A little bird told me and the other is Whoo's birthday .  I cased the original design from Lesley at Always Playing with Paper. I just love MDS and I hope you enjoy!

MONSTER HIGH

My daughter Kaley had a birthday party to attend today.  We went shopping and one of the things we got for her friend was this MONSTER HIGH purse.  So when we got home, I made the card to go with the purse using the Stampin Up set JUST JAWING.  I made some alterations, but tried to make it as close to the purse as possible.  I took the pictures (see below), and there was a ton of items in the background, so I was playing with my COREL system and managed to come up with the layout below using my MDS and some fun fonts I downloaded. I hope you enjoy!

SUPPLIES:

STAMPS: just jawing

PAPER: bright pink, whisper white

INK: black stazon, basic black stampin write marker

Misc: black embossing powder, ribbon and rhinestones from stash
