I uploaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9 on my MacBook yesterday. The wi-fi connection in my hotel room has been weirdly slow so it took over 12 hours to upload. I am currently using Photoshop 4 on our desktop so am trying to get used to the new version. I'm thinking having a mouse may make things easier. And the photo below took much longer than it should to create...not sure if I am doing something wrong.


This outfit is from this past Saturday. I really love this skirt but it feels much fuller than it looks when I wear it. I guess having a bubble butt like I do doesn't help my cause ;)

Today is my last day of work for the week and in Austin. So ready to come home!

Still obsessed

One thing Joe and I have in common is that when we find something we like we tend to obsess over it. Now that I have been learning some new stuff in photoshop, it's all I can think about! I have a lot of digital stuff on my computer that I downloaded for free, but haven't really understood how to use them. Now that I am teaching myself some new stuff, it's so fun and easy! I can understand why people like digital scrapping...it takes just as much time but it doesn't have quite the mess. I don't think I'll ever go totally digital because I love the feel of photos in my hands too much, but I definitely want to use some more digital elements, especially to spice up my photos.

I have been playing around with brushes on photoshop this morning. Found a free one with Ali Edwards' handwriting (Ali is a CK scrapping "celebrity"):I just love the handwriting on the photo. And I have also learned to make my own brushes - that just takes a bit more work. So back to Photoshop I go!

Having fun with PSE

This is silly me being inspired by Elsie with the self-portrait and photo editing in Photoshop. I uploaded a trial version and am having fun play with it, but I may ultimately get the newer version of Microsoft Digital Suite. I'll have to think about it. But look at the cool non-colors!

I am going to Phoenix this weekend with Peg, Trista, Amy, Laura, Wendy and LT. I'm hoping for a nice relaxing weekend with good conversations, reading by the pool, facials, eating good food and a lot of nothing. I definitely need to get away.

All for now. Be back in 3 days.
