Popping In...

to say hello! I'm back from a terrific time at Disney. Lots to get caught up on -- JBS projects to complete among other things... hope to work on those this weekend. And I promised you I'd start posting holiday images -- so let's start with this one... check back for more throughout the rest of this month and next!

Here comes the sun...

I hope. We're headed to Florida on Tuesday for a few days at Disney. Back the following Monday. In case I don't get to post between now and then, have a wonderful week and a happy halloween! Here are a few vintage summery images - I'll start sharing holiday images when I return!

 

Autumn Inspiration

How I love the sights, sounds and smells of Autumn. Here are some autumn images that have been inspiring me this season...

Digital Goodies - Holiday Tags

Have you checked out Deviant Art? It's a great site for free downloadable brushes and lots of other artistic resources for Photoshop. I was puttering around with some photoshop brushes and some vintage images and combined them to create some modern/vintage holiday tags/cards to share with you. You can resize them and print them out in the size you'd like (*personal use only please*)! I used the following brush sets with my vintage images:

Fashion Patisserie Labels by Rhonna Farrer (Two Peas in A Bucket)

Glitter Sparkles Brushes by Redheadstock   (Deviant Art)

Light Brushes by Lurker Patrol (Deviant Art)   (This last one made all the gorgeous lighted circles, an effect called "Bokeh" apparently, in the background of the photo) and very easy to do!

Enjoy!

Photo Shoot

Alekha agreed to submit to my pleas for a photo shoot yesterday - it had been a long time since I had gotten some really beautiful photos of her and I wanted to try and start early on Christmas card photos. I had to bribe her with a new Barbie Doll, but I was very happy with how they turned out. Also broke out some of my stock of my fave photoshop brushes just so I could play a bit. She is growing up so quickly...

 

 
  
  

Played around in PS with this last one - I applied some artistic filters before using the brushes. My favorite brushes are from Sande Krieger and Rhonna Farrer at Two Peas. I think most of the ones I used can be found there!

And here's a few vintage images to share as well, hope you had a great weekend!
