Completed Project

So here are the items I have made for my friend Tiffany who is expecting her thrid baby in June. This time a girl! :) I am on a non-pastel baby kick. SO I made a black and white round ripple, and a black and white book. But I did want some color, and Tiffany loves purple, so I made the Fire Blossom wash cloth with a h hook and some cotton, and then I made a Pentagon shaped green one. I thought different shapes and colors would be fun. I'm hoping to make it down to the post office later this week, or possibly this weekend, and i'll send these along. I hope she likes them!

Photoshop

Well, I am starting school in like a month, and I wanted to have some type of grasp of photoshop BEFORE I started so that I wasn't behind the curve when the time came. Well, I have found some great tutorials on-line, and after receiving the program today here is what I was able to do!

Here is Dawn as a sketch:



This one is Jadyn, where the background layer was made Sepia and then the top layer was at 75% opacity. I wanted it to look more like the one of Gavin on Dani's site, but I'll have to work a bit more at it. For a first shot though, I don't think this is bad at all.


Here is Kenzie, when she saw me do Dawn's she wanted me to "draw" her too.



This is a lot of fun, and there are a million more tutorials I want to get through as well. I'm trying to just master the basics and see what I can do. I might even be able to learn what I'm doing, and not look at other people's tuts! Wahoo!! But it is fun to learn, and seeing what will happen as I push each button.

I'm thinking pics like this would make a great anniversary present for my in-laws nicely framed.... hmmmm something to think about. OOO, one of all 3 girls together.... that would be nice!
