CoffeeShop

This is why I love reading other blogs! While skimming through some old posts at SuzyQ Scraps' blog I came across her entry about ACTIONS. Actions (for those who don't know) are these awesome shortcuts to edit your photos in Photoshop Elements.

Suzy mentioned a website (blog) called The Coffee Shop. I am really tired right now so I will let you link on over to the site and read about these SAHM's and how awesome they are for creating these FREE actions for people like me (and you)!!! Yes, I said free. I love FREE!!!

Here is a before and after of a photo of my nephew, Trevor. I will explain what I did.

(BEFORE)

All I did to the (straight out of the camera) photo above was red eye reduction & brightened it up just a bit using the Levels Adjustment Layer.

(AFTER)

I ran two different actions on this photo to get it to this point.

First....I ran the Baby Powder Room action which allowed me to soften up his face and removed the blotchiness. This action also allowed me to brighten & whiten his eyes to make them pop more.

Second....I ran the Hot Cocoa 2 action that gives this warm, soft glowing effect. Oh, I just love the result!

Of course, you know I did a layout using the final product! This was for a Scrap Orchard Template Challenge. I used several kits....Sweet Teddy & Caber MacGregor by Amy Stoffel as well as Composure by TaylorMade Designs.

MAY BLOG TRAIN @ PRETTY SCRAPPY!!!

I can hardly believe it is May 1st already! This year has proven to be nearly as busy as last year. Not quite, but close. This year so far I have been a caretaker to my aunt as she has had 2 surgeries to recover from. The company I work for (a family business) moved to a new location. Wow, that was fun! My church was rocked by a tragic shooting which claimed the (earthly) life of my pastor....leaving us all shocked and grasping for understanding. This month our family will celebrate the 1st birthday of our sweet Caiden Ryan. And in 7 more weeks we will celebrate the same for Trevor David. Can it even be possible a year has passed since those two adorable babies graced our lives? So, it has been busy and looks like it will continue to be so in the future.

On to the May BLOG TRAIN at Pretty Scrappy! The new collaboration kit is called "Dew Drops" and it is just beautiful!!! Blues, greens, and browns, oh my! Just take a look at these previews below. Click on any one of them to be directed the Pretty Scrappy store where you can purchase these awesome kits!

We have "23" awesomely creative folks who have joined this blog train and are offering a freebie (or 2) on their blogs. Hope you hop on the train and follow the links to get lots of fun free goodies! Here is my contribution....just click on the photos to be taken to the download links:
