beginning photoshop, continued

Here are the rest of my projects for the Beginning Photoshop class--I should've posted them before the next class, but oh well...

This lesson taught us how to use Quick Pages.  We wanted to take some pictures of my kids with my grandpa, since who knows when we'll ever see him again, but Simon was way more interested in Grandpa's stuff! (used Happy Place QP from Fly Pixel Studios)

This lesson was about "strokes," which are colored outlines you can use on (I guess) just about anything.  If you stroke an element with white, it'll come out looking like a sticker.  We also learned how to "clip" a background paper to the text  and had to practice changing the color of a picture to sepia or black & white.  (used Oogy Boogy Pack from Just So Scrappy)

I know I look awful in these pictures, but Nate is so funny with his puppy dog eyes and his mouth getting wider and closer to the straw, that I just had to scrap 'em!

First page in Photoshop

I'm taking a class: Beginning Photoshop and here's my first project (ever) in the program.  I used paper and elements from SNP Romantic Valentine mini, beads from Scraps by Mara (Dec. 2011 blog train Traditions--took out the blue ones), font is Liorah BT in darker red.


The picture was taken in October at the Kadoka Nursing home.  She could hardly bring herself to smile and said she was just "tired."  I suppose this could possibly be our last photo of her.
