Happiest Tuesday......

This week we are taking TT outdoors.....  

Here are this week's challenge details:

Your image must be shot outdoors and contain at least one layer of any of my textures... that's it...that's all.

Above is one of the photos I took on Sam's graduation day..... Sam is Bryce's oh-so-sweet girlfriend..... her escort was a school friend....they made a deal to attend grad together..... So Mr. Bryce was on the sidelines. 'smile'.... Anyhow, Sam looked absolutely stunning....

For the sake of creativity and all... i decided to play a little with this photo.... I created a sepia effect in Lightroom...then into photoshop where I added some blur...then 2 layers of a recent TK texture, called Word.... one layer at soft light 100% and another at multiply 65%. To finish it off.... I added the quote.... 

Before we begin linking up.... remember next week is Guest host Texture Tuesday.... There will be a lovely guest host here, waiting for you..... Please be sure to leave some love for the host!

The theme for guest host week....will always be Free & Easy.... The only requirement....the image must contain at least one layer of any of my textures.

Okie doke...time to begin linking up!! 

Have fun.

Hello friends,

Happiest TT!!

Today's theme.... The Textured x's 2 eDition.... simply means your image must contain any 2 of my textures... Easy Peasy....

For my image above I used one layer of elevate at soft light 90% opacity and one layer of aurora at soft light 60% opacity. I then zipped back into lightroom and played a bit with the HSL sliders. (more on lightroom soon).... So excited......seriously bursting..... 'sigh'

Please note.... I posted the submission guidelines for TT guest hosting ..... You can find all the info HERE. I'd love to receive your submission.

(Texture Tuesday) The Natural eDition

'She's a Natural' ~ Textured with Subtly Yours at soft light

Dear friends,

I have so much to tell you..... Oh my..... I'm going to save it all for a post of it's own. I'm trying to put it the words together in just the right way. Good stuff. I also have a new texture coming your way.... so please watch for that in your inbox.

Xanthe and I are half through our Behind the Scenes class. It's been amazing...and super full.... I've been a little inactive here at the Café.... but not to worry.....things will be back to 'normal' soon. :)

How are you? I hope you are well...

This Week's TT Challenge details

Your photo must center around the word 'natural' and be layered with at least one of my textures. I can't wait to see your take on this challenge.

Myriam came to visit last week. She let me take lots of photos of her..... and we also did some video. It was awesome. Both Bryce and I repeatedly said.... 'she's a natural'..... 'smile'.... and so... here is my 'natural' submission....a photo of Myriam.... sitting in the middle of a country road...capturing the prairie light.... 'sigh'...
