For my friends if you are wanting to take time to learn more from others about how to take better pictures, or how to do certain techniques, you should try out the free side of www.ilovephotography.com I have been part of the paid side and the free side and I found the free side had most of what I needed. Recently they have added some new seminars, etc that seem to have some one on one help that would really improve your images so I"m posting this in order to maybe win one of these to see how they are....check out the photography forum on the above and also their blog talking about the site here....

Guess I have to post this one by itself to send a link to it only....for the postcard challenge..

Challenges to get going....

I am really trying to get back into my digital and traditional art and trying something that is a quick challenge for me is a good thing. First the challenge I did was one for Breast Cancer awareness month....I took the ribbon and used it and created a unique card.

Then I forced myself to use my new painter 12.2 and some new brushes but old techniques I always head back to for my painting technique...Its what I know! This is a challenge from digital nuts last week,

Last but not least....I did a halloween collage challenge. I'm not much into the dark side of halloween stuff but wanted to at least get something done, Was supposed to use the colors orange, black, purple and green and here is mine

Ok thats all for now.....

Mosaic of my Cottage yard

 

A few pictures put together from

 my flickr account of my cottage yard.

 I love walking through the

yard and enjoying what I see.

Accessible Back yard--Please vote...daily if you can!

For those of you who dont' follow this on facebook....one of my close friend's cousin in trying to win a backyard makeover to make it wheelchair accessible for him and his family. Every day I get to go and give one single vote...but I do it every day. I have posted it wayyy too many times on facebook to be bothersome to those who don't want to see it so thougth I'd post here to my blogging friends...and family....

They were  neck and neck yesterday but the other one slipped ahead overnight...I am sure they are both worthy of their makeovers...just nice to know someone I know whose family would benefit!
