moving right along {Lesson 3 Complete}

Slowly but surely I'm moving along with my Photoshop - Digital Scrapbooking Class. It is truly amazing all you can do with Photoshop every lesson I'm amazed. I would once again highly recommend anyone take a class with Jessica Sprague if you can it's well worth the time and money. You can even sign up for the free one she's offering beginning in the next few days. :)

Check out my latest layout, I used pictures from our trip to Tennessee:

Notice on the left hand bottom corner the semi transparent photo, cool huh. I even did "stitching" on the blue polka dot paper edges. Awesome Awesome Awesome! I love this stuff. :)

done.

My Week in the Life album inspired by Ali Edwards is now complete. I loved this process and it felt so good to be creative and complete a project.

Here is my album:

The album I used was from the Martha Stewart Craft line a Michaels, have had it for awhile finally using it. I took off the front title block and also the photo corners inside - they weren't working for me.

organizing the photos

the cover, I love it. I used one of the calendar templates from Heather Ann Designs and put the photo of Fer and I walking underneath the calendar. I did use photo corners here.

each page was the same in a sense, I took one main photo from the day 4x6 and stamped it with Ali Edwards Days + Months Title + Journal Photo Overlays from Designer Digitals and then used a square punch to punch out six photos from the day and put them on the page below.

the end.

Lesson 2, Check!

Moving right along with my online Photoshop class. This is lesson two completed. So what do you think? I am REALLY enjoying this class!!! It's truly amazing all the stuff you can do with Photoshop. In this layout I used pictures from our trip to New York City this past summer. Cool dude, cool couple. :)

Now onto Lesson 3, can't wait to see what's next.

...sunday...

happy sunday morning. sunday paper and some coffee.

delish! cranberry scones for sunday morning breakfast.
went for a walk in the afternoon
well late afternoon
That's it for the photos, now I have to make my Week in the Life album stay tuned for pictures of that. Hope you enjoyed the pictures from my Week in the Life posts. I know they could have been more exciting, not the most exciting week in the world, but doing this project I realized even more than ever that's it's those moments - sunday morning paper with coffee, taking the dry cleaning, cooking a good meal that really makes up our life. Weddings, graduations, birthday parties are all great events but the daily ins and outs is what glues our life together. :)
