Just playing a little with another macro shot of the tiny little bee I captured with my little Coolpix camera. I’m so impressed with it’s macro ability. I sat real still and slowly moved the camera within a few inches of the little bee while he was sipping nectar.

The second image I used some of my custom brushes to create subtle impressions in the background. I absolutely love playing in Photoshop.





A short hike from my house was a fantastic garage sale. I may go back without the kids so I can pour over the items at my leisure.

The boy scored a soccer ball for one thin dime.


I’m wondering what this little beauty is called.
It’s too pretty to be just a weed.

If you know, please leave a comment with the name!


Our new neighbors got a puppy. My kids adore her. I was snapping some pictures of the kids with Maizy and caught this cute little face.

I decided to play around a bit and came up with this.

Here’s the original photo:

Quite a bit different, huh?!?

Each summer ABC_alteredbookclub celebrates the anniversary with a collaborative project. This is my 4th year participating.

My 1st year we did an alphabet themed chunky book.

The next year was another chunky book.

Last year we did something a little different. We made circles!

This year we are doing a skinny chunky book. Sounds weird, huh?!
I’m nearly finished with the whole swap. I cut out 28 of these 3×6 inch recycled cereal boxes. Only 25 are required for the swap but I wanted to make sure I had room for mistakes.

I sprayed them with black, brown and gold paint on the printed side of the cardboard. The back is sprayed with white, brown and gold.

I decided to mix a custom color of embossing powder since plain white seemed way to stark against the dark background. I mixed mostly white with a little gold, copper, black and jasper. I really like the slightly speckled effect.

I have 7 more to complete but I ran out of the beaded trim. Either my math skills failed me at the store or I was severely cheated.
