A Sleeping Sophie

My little girl kitten, Sophie, likes to sleep on my photography stage for my eBay items. Of course, it is a great place to take photos of her too! Isn't she precious?

Sweet, Sweet Cameron!

I was at my Melissa's hair salon today and snapped a couple pics of her super sweet youngest, Cameron before I left. He loved to look at his pictures in the LCD panel!! The lighting was terrible, so I adjusted the best I could in PSE.

Justin & Michael - The Neighbors

Heather and Marcus live beside me and have the most precious boys - Michael and Justin (aka JJ).

Tonight I took my first pictures of them. I'm looking forward to nice day, so we can get some family pictures.

A Beautiful Park

On the way home from the auction today, Bradley and I stopped at Shenk's Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania for a couple minutes to grab some photos. For the first time, I tried my camera out of auto mode. These, however were not part of them.

Where is my son?

Jamie looked SOOOO handsome today when we went to have his Senior yearbook photo taken at the high school! New suit, new shirt, new tie . . .

Then I come home from an afternoon auction to THIS!

Before and After Photo

I know you are all probably sick of the photo clean up pictures, but I'm still tickled pink over the options and what I can accomplish with Photoshop Elements 5! Here is another one. This is the picture that I used of Johnny on the last layout posted.

If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see that I removed scab from his forehead, drool from his mouth and redness from just below his mouth. I also smoothed his skin a bit, of course cropped the picture and adjusted lighting just a tiny bit.

Of course, now I want the real thing - I want Photoshop CS3! But I'll probably settle for CS2 (the previous version) for now. I'm stalking some deals on eBay as I type!!

Johnny Layouts

A couple layouts with Johnny (remember you can click the image to see it in full size):

Another Katie Layout

I applied an aged photo/paper effect to the picture. I love it with this paper and embellishments.

A Katie Layout

I finally got a page done with some of Katie's pictures. Isn't she GORGEOUS!! If you click on the picture - it will open in a separate window you can see it full size.

Two More Layouts

I love Sunday night digi-scrapping!
