A little photography and photo editing

I recently started using photo editing software to make and edit things.  I use G.I.M.P, it is free software and very similar to Photoshop.  Here are a few things that I have messed with..

 

This is the design my MIL and I came up with for our shirts for the Race for the Cure.

 

Lilly’s Santa picture needed to be in a snow globe.

 

I don’t own a fancy DSLR camera with a wide aperture lens, so I have to fudge the out of focus back ground by editing it.

I decided to make just about everything for Lilly’s birthday party to cut down on costs, but I didn’t want to hand write the invitations fearing that my handwriting would lead people to the wrong house on the wrong day.  So I made Lilly’s invitation and thank you notes too.   It was actually a lot of fun!

Here is one of the thank you notes I made, they were a lot of fun to make.  If Lilly could play with it our wear it, I took a picture of her with the present and then created personalized thank you notes.  Ok so that sounds much harder than it really was.

Here are a few pictures from my point and shoot of my flowers in my flower beds.  I played around with the close up or “macro” setting.
