Happy Fourth of July!

Click on the image for a bigger view.

My 4th was spent with Holly allowing me, a little of her time to take a few pictures. (love ya Holly)
This was her favorite so this was the one I worked on. We went out looking for white are light colored backgrounds because I knew I wanted to add some texture to the images.

After I was done, I came across the great video for adding blush and lip color to your images.
Here is the [b] school video. Do check it out!!
So of course, I had to go back and rework my final image.
I just love how I learn something new everyday and how willing everyone is to share their knowledge!!! :)

Another fantastic site I have come across is called lch design.
She has some really nice design items for sale!
This link will bring you to her blog, click to enter. I have been drooling over her images for a few days now. Take a look!
Perfect color and the sharpness is out of this world. How I would love to see a step by step from her! My friend Denise sent me there. (hugs to Denise!)

Hope everyone had a Happy day!

Answering questions & another mask

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
