I Heart Faces: Fix-It Friday #68

These days I'm pretty lazy about taking pictures, but I LOVE sitting in my pajamas and editing other photographers' photos.  Want to join in on the fun?  Just go to iheartfaces for tons of photography info, challenges, tutorials and more!

Here is this week's original image:

And here are two of my edits:

For the first edit, I used my normal photoshop workflow, which I outlined here.
For the second edit, I ran an additional PW action called Soft & Faded.

Now for some digital layout fun! 

Can you believe how well the colors of this week's fix-it photo matches this freebie kit?  Even the elements are perfect!  Download the Very Blessed digital kit for free.  The links are at the top left column, under "Categories".

The wordart is from the Live Well freebie by JoHanna at 2Peas.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Free Post-It Notes

The place I used to work for brainwashed me into believing that Post-It notes were a luxury, and I used to joke that only those in the "Million Dollar Club" (I was in sales) were awarded one pack.  So now that these are free...I am gonna (super)stick 'em everywhere around my house and act like a millionaire!!  :o)

Sign-up to be sent a free sample of the new Post-It Super Sticky Notes.  Then print the $1 off coupon (you can make unlimited prints since it is a pdf) and use at Target, Wal-mart and Kmart where they have Post-It notes on sale (at least this week) for $1.  So, FREE after tax!

Stick away!!

Thanks, Money Savings Mom!

I Heart Faces: Fix-It Friday #66

Even though it is summer vacation, can we say T.G.I.F.? Especially when you get to play with this cute little guy's picture.

I don't even know him and he just melts my heart!  I had to make a quickie page using a couple freebie digital kits available this weekend:

I Heart Faces: Fix-It Friday #65

It's another week of editing fun!  I love this little guy's expression and can't help but wonder what is going through his mind.

I *almost* never use actions because they *almost* never work and I prefer to have control over all my layers.  Well what do you know - the sepia action from The Pioneer Woman worked great right off the bat!  It almost feels like cheating to do so little to the picture, but the original was already very good in my opinion and I am NOT a fan of over-editing!

And here is a fun little digital layout:
