Whew! What I Learned About Photo Editing-Take 4

Holy Cow! I just finished editing 805 photos that were just sitting out there in the black hole otherwise known as my "Pictures" file. It was not as hard as I had imagined it would be. And it only took me 13 days and nights to do it. Ha! or Yippee! Or whatever the correct word to insert there should be...
Now let's see if I can show you some of them. Here's the latest of my 7 month old granddaughter, Capen Leigh...



And here's another one...

 

Her Big Sis Riley put "her" tiara on her for this one...

 

and here's "Miss" Riley as we've called her for over 4 years now...

 

 

She's watching her "show" while she's camping in her new tent on top of the bed and I wouldn't be surprised if she also has her Leap Pad and her DVD player going as well. She really likes to multi-task!

 

Lastly, I would like to share with you some of the projects that I've been working on for Fall...

 

 

A little Thank You gift that I made for one of my neighbors for doing me a HUGE favor...

 

And a card that I entered in last month's Creative Challenge Contest from Shelli Gardner at Stampin' Up!...

 

 

I actually got the inspiration for this card from a dinner plate that I saw in Target one day. The plate was Vanilla with both Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry designs on it. I just LOVED that color combo and knew right away that I wanted to create a card with those colors.

The challenge was to make a card using only 2 layers. And quite the challenge it was. I spent the first 3 weeks of September trying to decide how I could create a card that would include depth, dimension, and texture and at the same time, keep the card to only the 2 layers.

I inked the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and then stamped the image onto the card stock without any embossing, and then used Linen thread for the texture I was looking for. Next I stamped and watercolored the leaves with Watercolor Wonder crayons and blender pens. I wanted to showcase all of the beautiful colors of Fall, so I sponged the edges of the Watercolor Paper to soften the contrast of the Watercolor Paper and card stock. I added the Crumb Cake brads and used paper piercing in the corner of the card to add dimension. So I guess that I met all of my goals for the card and I am very happy with the end result. I hope you like it as well. 

 

I love Fall. Happy Fall Ya'll!

 

So, for now I'll say goodnight all, and remember to take Gentle Care

 

Fondly,

Riley and Capen's Nanny
