Sunday Scraps - Week 21

Good evening ladies and ....and...... ladies :)

So here is this week's Sunday scraps....

Sunday Scraps - Prompt 21:

Use a movie title or a quote from a movie as your layout title.

  For me... I love the movie "riding in cars with boys" so when the little chickens and I were playing in the car whilst waiting for Teasha to finish school the other day, I sat there thinking "these would be great for a layout" so I did a bit of play on the title - "Riding in cars with the girls"

The second layout is using a quote from one of my favourite movies (and Lee's - hey hunny - Happy Birthday xoxo) "Ferris Buellers Day Off" - I just love creating layouts with really long bold titles too :)

So onto life:

I have been so proud of myself - today I taught myself the basics of downloading and loading actions and brushes for photoshop - this has seriously got me all excited - to think about two months ago I would even open the blasted program - did all my editing in a cheap print program, and after just one afternoon with the lovely Janine, I was hooked! Funny thing is, I didn't even realize that my program is like the latest version :) So I have had a bit of a play today after we got home from soccer (lolly lost :( ) and here are some pics - really for my mum as they are her favourite people!!

First one is Pa at soccer - he was being a little TOO loud and opinionated, so the ref made him a lines man (thank goodness, he was getting embarrassing) using a aging type action. (just reread this sentence - cracked me up - aging action - heheheheh)

Second one is the divine Miss M - yep! that is totally Tbird's tap costume from last year that we renamed "the duck" it is about 4 sizes too big, but I just love how this looks like one of those photos you get on cards.

Finally - playing with a more grungy look and this one was called lomo - she is looking way older than a few days off turning nine right now!

So that then led me to wanting to practice more photo taking - and as we are having our shoot with Janine on Friday, I wanted to suss out some locations for the pics - so armed with my most trustworthy "smile this way, turn your head slightly that way" child = Tbird we drove around Newcastle looking for great afternoon light - and I am delighted to say the least - yes she pulled faces, yes she danced in between shots, but she posed and she even started suggesting locations - gotta love that girl! Here is a collage of pics from this afternoon - totally unedited and unplayed with! Can't wait to get my hands on these little beauties!

so that's it for today, I will leave you with a few images from yesterday - I spent a lazy afternoon scrapping with Alison and co - creating this in her class plus an album that is yet to finished AND because I told her I would post this silly shot taken on my little point and shoot that I got recently - seriously the camera was great deal - 8.1 mega pixels, pentax, has movie functions, SLR features and a few crazy features like this... frames! and all for the low price of $49.95 (when you buy $100 of credit for rabbit photo printing!) I will use the credit to get some gifts shortly, but what a great deal!!

Peace out!
