swimming anyone?

Yes, we went swimming this weekend for the first time this year. Brrr...I didn't even think about getting in, but my girls sure did.

I'm continually working on my pp'ing (post processing) skills. I'd love the first one to be a bit more "grungy" around the edges. Tips, anyone?





And, yes, that was a cake in my last post. I think my friend, Shannon, bakes the cake in a special bowl, and then sticks in the bride doll. Amazing, isn't she? Oh, and I'm told that the bride doubles as a princess on occasion ;)

  4. You could burn the edges a bit with the burn tool at a low opacity. It really defines your photo. Sweet face, love that close up and carefree nature to this.
