Merry Christmas

best wishes to you all!

And best wishes to everyone at Willette

pipo, again

Pipo was so cute. I couldn't help bringing this little creature again when I saw the new IheartFaces: pets. So, here he is again:

This is me.

First time to post for IHeartFaces, though long time following!



Time for a self portrait!


I don't like taking self portraits, and I seldom like the result. But I force myself, I want to see how I look, and have memories of me, not only the rest of the family.

on horses and colorful stables.

Kids for for their riding classes, and I take photos of the horses in the meantime.
The walls have such bright and lovely colors!
And the horses... they are such amazing animals. The are very friendly models. Love them.

finding the holiday joy

Again Willette! Again finding joy. I think I'm addicted to her classes. Just awesome ideas!
I tried to make the kids pose but they were not in the mood, so this is the first and hopefully the worst this Christmas. We found the first decoration, no tree yet!

I love Cosmo!

Florabella actions was the first thing related to photo editing I bought. Then came Flypaper textures, then more by Florabella.
The actions are so easy and the result is so fascinating.
I've been playing with Julia's portrait. Here is the before/ after using Florabella Cosmopolitan action.
Before:


After (I cleaned the distracting background ):


And then framed with vintage frames by Florabella too.

playing with Florabella.

Recently I purchased Florabella's textures (texture set II). And I am enjoying them SO MUCH!
Here is an example of the differences textures can make.

The name of the texture is shown and below there are some screen captures on the process for each of these tries, where opacity and blending mode are shown, as well as the slight erasing work on some.
