The Paper Mama Photo Challenge ~ Sparkly


The Paper Mama
This week the theme at The Paper Mama is "Sparkly". And the guest judge is the ever awesome and amazing Ashley Sisk! With three girls in my house, we have plenty of sparkle so this was a fun challenge for me. I decided to go with a picture from Snowdrop's First Birthday! She wore a Paper Mama Inspired Birthday Hat, made especially by moi! It was super easy and I used scrap paper I had leftover from Christmas Cards of 2007. It felt good to make something AND use up old crafty stuff.


My Sweet Sparkly Snowdrop on her First Birthday

She was very excited for cake!!


I finally made some time to play around in Photoshop this morning while the girls are at school and Snowdrop is napping. One headache & one hour later I finally have edited a picture in Photoshop. (And figured out I had to resave it as a JPEG so I could upload it....) And I loved it! I had so much fun! And there is so much for me to learn. I'm excited for all the new year will bring. It's only Day 4, and so far I've done all my pictures for Project365, I've made a button, and I learned how to do something in Photoshop. This may be my most productive year yet!

Share your sparkly photos with The Paper Mama!
