Fall Photos and Hair Woes

More fall photos taken at the Park of Roses last month. These were edited with the Picture Perfect Mega Set from Paint the Moon.

I am hoping to take my little girl for a haircut soon. As much as I (and she) both love her long mane, it's been a source of many tears for her. Getting her to let me brush it is a near impossible task, and she can't manage its tangled thickness on her own. She won't bother to work at getting the tangles out so most of the time goes around looking like a bedraggled, albeit sweet little mess.  Is it just us, or does anyone else have this problem??

So I'm on the hunt for a cute short style that will work for her. I'd love to give her a little pixie cut but I don't think she'd forgive me if I do that, atleast not right away, so we may have to go short in steps, sigh! Enjoy your Sunday!

 

 

 

Addicted to Photoshop

This post will be mostly visual, because it's way past my bedtime! I spent a few happy hours playing around in photoshop with more photos from our trip and wanted to share them with you. I am seriously addicted to Photoshop brushes and actions. I need to do a post to share my faves.

This shot was taken in Disney's Animal Kingdom, just after we exited the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. There was a little cottage prop along the path we exited and the color of the cottage - a deep turquoise/seafoam green was so lovely I had to stop for pics. I used an Urban Acid PS action, some brushes and fonts to give this the look I wanted.

 

This one was taken in the Chinese Pavilion (Epcot). I've used this building before but it's so appealing I couldn't pass up the chance for more photos here.

 

This one was taken in the France Pavilion, in the gardens behind the Arcade and the Parfumerie. This was taken in the late afternoon, and the I had to do little to touch this photo up.

 

This last one was also taken looking over the bridge from the UK Pavilion to the France Pavilion - just a shot of some scenery and props there, but I love the little vignette.

 

And here are some bright graphics for you to enjoy. See you soon!

 

 

 

Loving the vibrant colors in these graphics, enjoy!

Photo Shoot

Alekha agreed to submit to my pleas for a photo shoot yesterday - it had been a long time since I had gotten some really beautiful photos of her and I wanted to try and start early on Christmas card photos. I had to bribe her with a new Barbie Doll, but I was very happy with how they turned out. Also broke out some of my stock of my fave photoshop brushes just so I could play a bit. She is growing up so quickly...

 

 
  
  

Played around in PS with this last one - I applied some artistic filters before using the brushes. My favorite brushes are from Sande Krieger and Rhonna Farrer at Two Peas. I think most of the ones I used can be found there!

And here's a few vintage images to share as well, hope you had a great weekend!
