Purple Beaded Wrap Bracelet

Forgot to post the purple beaded wrap bracelet I made over the summer.   I used gray metallic leather cording and purple beads.

Been a while since I made some kind of jewelry. Think I need to get cracka-a-lackin!! Though I did make a pearl wrap bracelet during the summer as well...just gotta post that one too;)

Thanks for looking!

Saturday Revamp

 I am having so much fun editing photos.  Not a lot of challenges out there for editing photos.  Amy over at Little Adventures does it twice a week.  But I am a bit addicted so I added my own theme day.  I call it,  Saturday Revamp.

This past August the Hubs and I went to Las Vegas.  We stayed at The Paris.  Here is a pic of the Eiffel Tower.  I had been playing with my camera and finally took a pic where the lighting wasn't blurry.  Of course, I don't remember what I did.  So, every time I take a photo with lights, I always have to play first before I get it right.  You would think I would write what I did down on paper.

Original

Edit

This is what I did:

Went to ipiccy:

• Cropped the photo.
• Straightened it.
• Added more vibrance.
• Added more bokeh.  The photo actually had natural bokeh!! 

If you did any editing posts, let me know.  I pick up tips from others.  If I get better at this editing thing...maybe I will add my own linky.

 

Thanks for looking!!

After I had posted this, I noticed a black sticker butterfly on my pic.  I pushed that sticker button  twice.  Crudola.

This is what I did:  (to see the pic better, just click on it)

• Went to ipiccy and used Fancy Focus and the Sepia filter.
• Lighten the pic more with the curve tool.

• Airbrushed

Thanks for looking!  Have a great weekend!  My little bubba has been dealing with a virus that tag along with her cold and gave her hives.  So my weekend will be putting calamine lotion on her every 30 minutes or so.  She is being a trooper though!!

Friday Photo Journal

My friend Melissa, of Serendipity Is Sweet, has started her own photography link up. She is also the person that introduced me to Instagram. I saw all her cool shots on Facebook and I wanted to do it.

In the beginning of the week, I caught Jason, Michaela and Parker all laying down for night night. Two of them were not sleeping;)
