Tag Swap

Hello everyone! Here's a tag that I created for a tag swap that I signed up for through Laura Denison at Following the Paper Trail. This is my first tag swap and these are the tags that I sent in today. I made 9 tags and sent 8 tags to Laura who in turn will send me 8 different tags back from the other eight people in my swap group. I'm so excited to see what everyone else has done and what creative masterpieces I'll find in my mailbox in another 10 days or so.

I hope the people that receive my tags will be inspired in some way. They were a lot of fun to make. Of course it's always fun to get all inked up. By the time I was finished, my hands were a very colorful tangerine color. But if I'm clean, I must not be doing something right. LOL


Thanks for visiting!

Photography

One of my passions is photography. It's always been an interest but never really had the time or opportunity to learn. But recently I've taken a few classes and began a video subscription to help me learn more about the basics of photography. I feel that if I get those pictures that will "make" that perfect scrapbooking layout, then I'll be even more excited to scrap. I love being able to tell a story with a picture. My journaling needs a lot of improvement so the photos need to be the star of my layouts in most cases.

In my recent quest for information, I've found a wonderful blog that provides so many techniques for getting the best pictures along with photoshop and photoshop elements actions. The blog I'm talking about is Paint The Moon by Annie Manning. Her before and after photos are so wonderful. And the journey she takes you on using her family as her subjects for her photography shots is just delightful. I am excited each day to see what new photos she's taken and what I'm going to learn from her. I hope you'll take a few minutes to visit her blog. Her work is just beautiful.

Thanks for visiting.
