I got another layout done, Mission San Juan Capistrano. I loved this mission; the grounds were absolutely beautiful. Every time I turned a corner, there was another gorgeous photo in the making.
For this layout, I used the sketch technique I told you about last week. The cross and mission bells on the first page are actually a photograph that I turned into a sketch. I then applied a blending mode and erased the parts of the photo that showed hard edges. I really like how it turned out, and I think I'll use that technique more often.
And, for today's Friday Features:
These are good words from John Piper, about Steve Jobs, living under the shadow of your funeral, and choosing what to do with your time.
Another great one by the Femina girls. This time about our milkshakes running low. It will all be clear, I promise!
This isn't profound. Or, even useful. It just made me laugh. Out loud. Which, given the congested state of my lungs, set off a coughing fit that I'm still trying to rein in.
My Craft Channel is a new video-based site that features all sorts of crafts: sewing, scrapbooking, and more. I Heart Faces has a channel there and these episodes look very interesting.
This is probably the BEST BOOK EVER, at least for me, about getting off of Auto and over to Manual on my DSLR. Exposure, by Bryan Petersen. Read it. You won't be sorry! (I have NO affiliation with Amazon. This is just a great book.)
And, with that, I'm off to finish up the calendar for The Male's company. I'll post a few photos when it's all done.
Thanks! Read the posts - helpful and encouraging!
