Jessica Sprague Class Day 6

Today was all about TTV which I had never heard about until this class. It is looking through the view finder photos. I used both an awesome fake TTV by Nasos3 at Flickr found here, and some of the textures from Flickr from the previous class lesson on my photo this time.

Here is my original of a yummy mimosa I had at New Years several years ago.

Here is the photo with the awesome TTV, a brown bag texture, and a grungy texture.

Day five is all about using textures. This is definitely something that is new to me, but I love the results that they can bring. I need to play with this more often and try to get out of my comfort zone.

Here is the original picture.


Here is the pictures with three different textures added on and with different blending modes.



Here is the photo with a png frame added on for the project for this class.

This lesson was on using a photo mask, which I already knew how to do but we got an awesome mask to use so that was well worth it!

Here is my masked photo.

Jessica Sprague Class Day 3

For this lesson we learned how to use blending modes to make a picture look more antique or vintage looking. Then we added the stuff we learned in the last two classes and put them together to add a frame and add a star brush.

Here is the original taken by the mall photographers when he went to see Santa this year.


Here is the end result. I changed the frame to white since the picture was so dark black didn't show up well.

For the second lesson we had to add some brushes that were more like a stamp to our photo.


Here is what I did.

Jessica Sprague Class Day 1

Well the Jessica Sprague class Frame-ups and Special Effects that I signed up for started up right when I was getting ready to leave town so now I have some catching up to do they are already up to day 6 and I just got started today. Oh well, it gives me a challenge.

For our first lesson we had to add a png frame, and add word art to a photo.

Here is what I did.

So glad to be back!

Well I just got back on Friday from an awesome trip to Las Vegas with just my husband while my parents stayed home with Brant! We had a great time and I came back to find out that two of the designers I CT for are having new kits come out at ScrapMatters this coming Friday! One is an awesome one for all those water pictures you have, and the other is a fab Christmas kit for the Christmas in July sale ScrapMatters is having next weekend. I haven't posted any layouts lately due to being busy getting everything done before my trip. Here are some of the layouts I've done since I last posted. I've done a bunch with Genia Beana's awesome kits, and I have three ready for each of the two new kits from Andilynn and MickeyB to show you once they are released this Friday and I'm sure you will want to run and grab them both up! The last two are for the two speed scraps I did once I got home on Friday and one last night.
