Father's Day Re-cap

I just realized that I forgot to post a finished-product picture of the Father's Day gifts I did. So, without further ado.... (please excuse the lousy picture!)

I think they're so cute...in fact, if I had a desk, I would want some to put there too!

What do you think?

If you try this project, size your LO down to about 5.5" X 5.5" - I don't think the tiles are really 6X6. Even with that size I still had to do a little trimming around the edges. If they were for me, I would have added a real flower or some real ribbon or something like that, just to give them a little more dimension. I just don't think DH would appreciate that part as much as I would! Oh, and I printed these at Inkley's (I think they were 49 cents each - can't beat that!)

Some more photo edits

Here is a newer version of the photo I posted yesterday. For the class, we were to add the black frame around the edge and the little stars with a brush. Just to be a rebel, I added the darker vignette around the outside, and changed the saturation a little. I like this version a lot better than yesterday's, but their faces still just look washed out to me. Maybe I should try some hand-tinting there.

(Oh, and did I mention that these are my 4 beautiful children? This was after church on Easter, and they were so good to sit and pose for pictures!)

I actually used this photo in a LO I did some time ago. You can see it here if you'd like. I think I like what I did for this LO better than the picture above. What do you think?

Vintage, Hand-tinted Look

Here is what I have done with another assignment from my photo editing class with Jessica Sprague. Using adjustment layers and layer effects, I have turned this photo

into this!

I think I like the fully saturated look better, to be honest, but the hand tinting is fun.

The vintage look has its place - I just need a better photo for it! Or I need to have a better eye and know more what I'm doing!
