Editing for fun!

So my latest thing is starting to become "editing pictures for fun"!  The only reason I've never been big into editing my pictures is because it takes time, but also I really need to learn more about how etc. So I've been trying to change that, and have started messing around with my program to see what kinds of interesting things I can come up with. The one I did today was one of our own wedding photo's that our photographer took.

The downside to not knowing enough about my Photoshop Elements 7, is that I can't tell you what I did to get this effect.. :( I should have written it down but either way here it is!

My life...

Lately all I've been doing is spending time sitting behind my sewing machine and serger. Definitely not a bad thing, but it made me think I should take a picture that was somehow related to that.... so I came up with this:

So there you have it... I'm really happy with how the bottom picture turned out, well I'm happy with both of them but for some reason the bottom one is cooler to me.. lol

Photo Challenge: Cold

For those of you who already saw this post I'm sorry for messing up! I should have had a picture of something red for last weeks.... oops.


Well this weeks challenge is COLD. This is definitely a challenge for me because honestly it is cold outside but there isn't any snow... so how do you show that it is right around freezing when it doesn't show in a picture. I really started thinking and trying to come up with something and finally I had an idea.. Ice cubes are cold :)

I think that it turned out pretty good.. and this challenge definitely made me have to think outside of the box!

I'm hoping that next weeks is easier than this one!!
