Edit Me Challenge-Trying Something New

Doing something different. I am joining photography challenges...not that I am any good, but it is fun.  This challenge is called Edit Me Challenge.  You mess around with a photo that is posted on the challenge blog and then described what ya did.

The Original

My edit

 

I went to Photobucket, the only editing site that is not slow on my computer, and did this:

• Color Splash
• Color:  Hue-180, Sat-100, Lightness-(-2)
• Focal Blur 

Well, that is it.  Nothing fancy, but it is fun:)

A Card & A Booboo

Hey! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!  We stayed home and the girls had fun on the waterslide we put up.

Well, it is Stamp-n-Doodle time.  The theme is Get Outside.  I was trying something different so I clear embossed my image.  Guess I didn't ink it well enough.  Not all the embossing powder stuck.  Oh well....just have to try it again;)

See my booboo;)

Here is the card.

I am also using the current sketch from The Deconstructed Sketch.
Thanks for looking!
 

Christmas In May?

Time for a new challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle. This time the theme is Sparkle and Bling. I am using the Nobody's Perfect image.The card does look better in person.  My photography still needs some work;)

I am using the current sketch from The Deconstructed Sketch.

One more day and the kids have a four day weekend!  Thank goodness.  I have been dealing with a cold since Sunday and I am tired.

SND: Manly

Time for a new challenge at Stamp-n-Doodle!  The theme is a masculine card.  I am using the puddle jumper image.

The sentiment is from Robin Williams.
 

Homemade Tortillas

When I went shopping this past week I only bought taco shells to use with tacos.  But I decided I wanted tortillas.  Going to the store again didn't fit in the budget so I made tortillas!!  I used this recipe from Allrecipe.  Look at the comments too.  You can grab some tips from what people comment on.  I did.  Instead of using lard I used butter/margarine.  The hubs and kids loved it!!  I told them that I will not be making tortillas every time we have tacos.  I would just make buying them fit in the budget next time;)

When you use it just nuke it in the microwave to help it to bend.  I also tried to make it as thin as possible but mine are still thicker than the stores.  But that was okay...still worked:)
 

Anniversary Card

As I am typing this...I do not feel good. My stomach is upset. Gotta stop eating the junk food!! Seriously!!

Okay, time for a new challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle.  This time the theme is Anniversary/Celebration.

The next couple of days it is going to warm up but also comes some stormy weather for the next couple of days. Thanks for looking an have a great week. I will feel better soon:)
