My Dad passed away four years ago. While packing up his things, my sister found his old red wool hunting suit. She decided to keep it. She made each of us a stocking for Christmas and used the suit to make bright red stars for the front of it. Though it's still very hard getting through the holidays without my Dad, I will always have a part of him with me, not only in my heart,..but on my stocking with Papa's Patches!
Thanks for stopping by!
This is another picture of my friend Jessica, only this time, she has a partner! His name is Mr. Bojangles and he's just the cutest, most photogenic little puppy I've ever seen! I decided to make this a real soft, sweet looking layout using flowers and ruffles.
The paper is from K & Company in the Charlotte line. The roses are handmade by me using the same paper. The ruffles are also paper just folded and glued to the back. This layout is attached to a round card board back so it can be used in a portrait stand. Jessica really loved it when she saw it!
I just love the look of blue and white for winter layouts. They always look so cold.
I used the photo that I created on Picnik as shown in the previous post. By changing the look of the photo, you can create many different layouts using the same pictures.
Thanks for dropping by!
Here is a picture that I recently had taken. I've used Picnik to change the picture a couple of different ways. The top photo is the original. Blah!!
The second photo is color enhanced using the color tab in the Picnik program and saturating the color to make it deeper. Then I used the create tab to choose from several options. I used the Effects tab..then the Ortonish tab to create a soft unfocused appearance.
The last photo is once again saturated in color to make my eyes really blue. I then Used the effects tab, then the tint tab to turn the picture black and white. By using a small brush, the program let you "erase" the black and white to reveal the bright blue eyes. This is my favorite program to use for editing. If you haven't tried it, you really should!
Thanks!
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
'Jesus knows you're here.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.
When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard
'Jesus is watching you.'
Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.
'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
'Moses,' replied the bird.
'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'
'The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus.
Jesus
Okay.....I know it's a cheesy title, but face it...if your name was Carol, you would have done it too!
This layout is done using K&Company paper in the Ancestory line and the Christmas pack.
The letters are from Heidi Grace and were colored black to match the layout.
The small snowflakes are punched using the Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch.
The flower is handmade (I really need to get the tutorial up for that!) and painted with Scribbles in Glittering Crystal.
The ornaments on the left are cut out of a sheet of the K &Company Christmas paper, and bent to give them shape!
This was a fun layout to do and I hope it helps to get you in the Christmas spirit!!
Thanks for the visit!
