New Addiction!!! {Word ART}

  







I was once asked to make this type of art/photography for a friend. I was super busy when she asked and I never got around to making it.  It was buried in the back of my crafting mind and neatly placed on my to do list. Well, damn you pinterest, because I saw something similar yesterday and bam quick as a flash...I had to make one : )  It's mine and my husband initials along with wedding anniversary.  I am totally going to own up to the fact I borrowed these lovely pictures from the internet. ( I personally hate when my images are taken off the internet and used for personal gain...but this is simply for a frame in my house.  Hopefully, no bad karma my way : ) )Thank you flickr. 

It's really easy to do.   I found a tutorial on how to make these in Microsoft Office Publisher. I used photoshop myself...but the tutorial seems like it might be useful.

  I'm now thinking of all the fun things I could do this for...framed xmas gifts possibly?

If I make these for Christmas I'd love to drive around Louisville and snap photos of the alphabet. I think it would be fun to see pieces of signs you know. (Note to self...next project ) I also tweaked another photo I found off the pinterest.  I love it...

I added some different layers and I like how it turned out.  This line always chokes me up   : )  Thank you who ever out there in pinterest land took this picture : )

Have a great day guys!!!

Family Photo Shoot...Workin it!!!

This week it struck me I did not have any "family portraits".  For a living I take pictures of other people all the time.  I hated that I didn't have anything of my family.  So I made a conscious decision to do a photo shoot for my family.  I knew what this would entail.  Cedric running, Spen not smiling and Eric not wanting to be in the picture....but I didn't care.  I was determined to have at least ONE good picture.  I love how they turned out!!!  So after all the drama...the chasing Cedric down and telling Spen to smile...I'm happy and I won't have to do this for another year ; P

Here are a few of my family pics from this evening.  I had wanted to wear a different outfit but being as I was taking the pictures and it was around 70 degrees I settled for something comfy.  

It's really funny because I had to run and press the timer button on my camera and jump back into place.  I need a remote timer...oh well...tis life.  Cedric was not his smiley self today for the camera...instead he only smiled at the dogs and people walking by.

We have been EXTREMELY busy this week with cleaning, putting Halloween decor up and me working.  Sheeshhhh...we have so many projects going on.  Zzzzzzzzzzzzz..  Off to bed I go.  Wishing everyone a great week!!!
