Fix It Fridays are Fun!

Fix It Friday #83 - Such a fun photo to edit this week, I couldn't resist. This is the original:

Colour Edit

Black & White Edit

Vintage? Edit

Not only was this photo fun to edit but it has made me want to take some great, fun, action photos of my own!

First Fix-It-Friday

I have been following iheartfaces for a little while now & today (finally) I have participated in something from that blog. Fix-It-Friday #82.

Original:

My Edit:



I like to play around with the lighting/shadows/highlights first. Sometimes the highkey photo effect is good for this. Then the contrast is the next to change. However when I do this, occasionally it tends to leave the person looking washed out like this:

I'm absolutley not the most experienced person on photoshop (far from it). For me I find that adjusting the skin tone can bring warmth & more of a natural glow to the face.

Prepin' some backgrounds

I've been spending my time alternating between activities. Working in my Aj, crochet projects & watching Season 4 of Heroes  (◕‿-)

I have been working on two pages in my Aj. I tried to create a sort of Astrological sky. Whirls of watercolours with black spray paint. I like the result & am looking forward to working on this background.

The following page is a monthly to do list. Currently I'm procrastinating about putting my 'to dos' on this list (by watching Heroes). The flowers match my blog colours hhmmmm . . . *note to self: "Try new colours".

AJ - Page 2 is Finished

I had left to add the motivating song lyrics, which I did. Then I added some stars & splatter. And also some glitter paint. I'm much MORE pleased with this page now.



Interesting facebook status - I'm joining in !

I was #3 to comment on my friends status. My turn to post this. I'm looking forward to doing something nice for a few of my friends. It will be fun to see who the 5 will be !

AJ - Motivate Me

This page is not the neatest but I needed to learn not to be so precious. I'm definitely a person who lacks motivation so to remind myself to be motivated I created this page. I have left to fill in the journaling spaces with lyrics from songs that 'get me going'!
