{Texture Tuesday} The Love eDition

 

mouse over to see the before image

Welcome to another round of Texture Tuesday!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

This week's theme is LOVE. 

My image is textured.....ever so softly with 'fall'in'.  

The Photoshop Recipe

Tweeked the white balance and exposure in ACR.

Added a levels adjustment to lighten the image a little more.

Added one layer of fall-in at screen blend mode. I dropped the opacity down to 27%. If you look closely you can see some subtle textured detail around the edges. Basically I used the texture to create the dreamy effect I was going for.

Lesson: now and then soft & subtle is okay too.

Before we start linking up, let's talk next week's TT theme.

The theme for Tuesday October 3rd is:

Gratitude.

This may be a repeat theme, I'm really not sure.... But definitely worth repeating. :) I think!

And to spice things up a little, your image must contain 2 different layers of any of my textures.

Meet Mr. Underwood

How are you?

Happiest Thursday! How's your week going so far?

Have you been visiting Shutter Sisters, each and every day..... to get in on the amazing September Give Away from Paper Coterie? 

You really must.....  I mean, seriously... you must! :)

Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Underwood. Isn't he a dream? He's looking quite fab in the 'white room'.... 

happy...happy....'sigh'

I have been a busy bee... creating loads of class content and good stuff like that.

Oh and getting the i-Studio all geared up to relaunch next week...  Super excited about it!!

Another week is winding down. Camp Shutter Sisters is around the corner... burst... are you going to be there?  Do tell!!

Oh, I haven't mentioned this here...but I've been working hard at getting into shape for several months now. I hate talking about it...cause it's been an ongoing 'event' in my life... Ugh. Anyhow, this week I'm doing a 'plateau breaker'..... where you drink these protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. Oh my gosh...  shoot me now!! (well not really...but you know what I mean)....One more day, and I can have normal food!! 'sigh'... I can do it!! Yes I can....  

gag.....

Well I must run. It's the most beautiful day here...and I have a date on the porch with John and Benny....

Tell me, what's new with you? I'd love to know!

Love and gratitude....

xxo,

p.s.

this lovely little desk had been sitting in our garage for years... One day, while I was away, John pulled it out...sanded it down and painted it white. Once it was dry and ready to go, he stood and watched as I took my palm sander to it. He didn't say a word.

After all these years.... (almost 22) He just gets me. :)
