After reading Pioneer Woman's Photography post about making an image with rounded corners, I thought I would go over using a clipping mask one more time. This concept is great because it uses non-destructive editing. Here is one I made with an image of little Miss G. I used PW's Lovely & Ethereal and her Seventies action on the image. I used the rounded rectangle shape and made my shape. Distressed the edges, then saved it as a png file. From the bottom layer going up.... You will have your background color, lets say white. Then you add your mask to the next layer up. Then your image goes on top. You can clip your image and mask together a couple of ways. Highlight your image layer. Hold down the alt key and click on the line between the image layer and the mask. Find that difficult? Go to Layer, Group with Previous. (top tool bar) After your image is clipped, you can move it around or resize it as you like. But you image stays in it's original condition. Hence non-de

Skeletal Mess (aka Ghostbones) has posted a wonderful tutorial about how he processes his Art. Not at all what I was doing! Do go and give it at try! I just love it when I am learning something new! Here is the tutorial. The Resting Place I also just posted it as kimi's Kreative homework #68 , so do check in if you get a chance and let's see what the others have come up with. =) Here is my take on his instructions. I used the same two suggested textures with the same opacities that he used. I did have to go back and use levels to lighten it after changing my blend mode to multiply. Lastly I used the burn tool and burned around the edges. See how the dark edges make your eyes go inward? Happy Weekend Everyone!! ~kimi~

We had such a happy day yesterday. My daughter and her boyfriend came by to show off her new engagement ring. Now of course I knew this was coming. They had been talking about it for a while. He called me Monday to let me know Saturday would be the big day. He is a really great guy!! We made plans for all of the family to meet for supper Saturday night and to try and keep it a secret from Kristen. She did have her suspicions but nothing concrete. They had a picnic in the park and he proposed. aawwwwww.... So I give you pictures of the HAPPY couple. Kristen & Dustin Love... Happiness... Togetherness... You can see why we now refer to them as the... HAPPY couple!! They were just sooooo cute. I am not sure which one was more excited. =) I wish them much love and happiness in the years to come and always. Boy, time goes by quickly. Yesterday she was just a baby. (tear, sob) Heck now I need a hug. ;-) ~kimi~
