TheShining
In between client sessions I found to play a little bit here. You can't have two girls in the same house and just spend time with one, you know? This is Trinity's version. Thank You, Melanie DeFazio for the inspiration to try this. I hope you don't mind the copy cat. Your work is amazing.

Hope
I finally managed to pull off this shot after months of thinking about it, ever since I saw Melanie DeFazio's photo Stream. My attempt at another one will happen this week, if time allows. You can't have two grand daughters so close to home, and only spend time on one, so there will be more coming soon!

Kayla in Wonderland
I am doing a test here from Flicker. Seems like my photos are defaulting to the Graphics Garden Blog where I post more creations in digi design.. This isn't suppose to happen. Please bear with me, as I was going to actually catch up on blogger..
Kayla roams the Mustard plant hills
Kayla roams the Mustard plant hills
The mustard plants must be at their all time high around this area, given all the recent rain we have had. The hardest part of shooting here, is that the hills are full of all kinds of critters as well, and its a bit hard to angle nicely without being higher than your subject. So I stood on an old fence that separates the road from the hills, and proceeded to hold my breath and aim, and balance. Clumsy ole me, of course, fell. After that hard fall and tweaking my body ( it seemed like it was all in slow motion!) enough to skin up my back and pull muscles, but save my lens which was headed right for the dirt, I didn't have to ask myself if it was worth it. It's always worth it when Kayla is my subject!! Look for more soon as I go through these.

OFF TO VEGAS
Some of you may be wondering where I have been. Its been a long road the last three months. My Mother board died right after the new year unfolded.. Im extremely grateful for the work the lord had given me in DEC. and for the computer holding out just long enough for me to skid into 2010!
It wont be long now until the new one arrives and I can jump right on into my Digital work again. I wanted to thank some special people in my life on this neglected blog before heading out to Vegas for WPPI tomorrow!!
First of all, Thank You so much, JE Neuhaus, for saving my life and retrieving my files from the ole hard drive!! That will be gas in my car, food in my mouth, etc. in the long run, when I can finally put some collages and hard bound books together for clients who have been so patient with me the last 3 months! Not only did my good friend and fellow photographer save my behind, but loaned me a computer to get by on!
I would like to also thank Amy Parrish for her purchase of my digital designs a while back. Amy was granted 3 Grand in Azuka Book products!! Please visit her blog to see her work : http://www.Amyparrish.com.
I am so excited to see some of my work in the Azuka sample book she made at the trade show at Azuka's booth. I just really want to express how honored I truly am to have her include my name in her upcoming presentation at the MGM Grand in VEGAS, BABY!! Woo hoo! I am excited and hope to run into some of my friends who are lucky enough to be there this year!( I am dragging my husband out to Vegas again just by the hair of my chinney chin chin..
When I get back, hopefully my new computer will have arrived, I can continue to add to my latest paper pack, and start shooting regularly with a faster, more efficient work flow. And yes, update my blog more frequently as well!!
See you soon!

10x10 LayFlat WHCC Book
Linking from my Flicker Page. I will be adding more templates soon from my Pearl Paper Pack!
This collection of pages makes a beautiful lay flat coffee table book. I used photos from the cutest family and my favorite location to shoot, to showcase this sample. They, actually, were the inspiration for making this template.
The package includes 11 sides with both cover and dust cover and can easily be downsized to smaller size books, after inserting your photos. Clipping masks are included in the pages, and most elements are opened in layers for customizing.( I designed with blank templates for WHCC lay flat hinged book, 10x10).
This introductory collection is yours for $40.00 and is sent to you in a private link within 12 hours( usually sooner) upon clearance of payment. Please email your request to ldylites@aol.com OR graphicsgarden@aol.com.
Due to the digital nature of this product, no refunds will be given, but I will be glad to help if you need it!

New Pearl Paper Pack
Introducing the Pearl Pack of papers. These are all in jpg. form, 300DPI and still look OK a bit larger, or combine them for a beautiful coffee table book or announcement cards. I am currently working on a coffee table book designed with a WHCC template, but when IM finished with that, the Pearl Papers are going to take a new form of their own! What can you do with them? They are named with Pearl because I think they would look really nice on Pearl paper!
This pack gives you 5 patterned papers, with texture, and there are a total of 8 solids or coordinating papers to accent with. ( Or vise versa of course!)
Email delivery or media fire links upon clearance of payment.. Total for this pack is 25.00. Please email Cheryl: Graphicsgarden@aol.com for your Pearl Pack to get started on your design!

A Very old bible
I wanted to get a feel for how Flickr and blogger work together. IM so proud to have found this book, which I didn't even realize was an old bible from long ago. Boy, I have not ever seen a book like this one. Its funny, I had noticed some very cool antique books in photo streams, and I was thinking to myself, " How cool would that be to find some at a garage sell!" And then I did! Fun!!
So you are welcome to use this for your personal art if youw ant. I have not had time to create something yet with it but IM sure I will find something!

Large Designer Matts are here!
Finally Finished- The POSH COLLECTION
Please visit our friends at Pixel2canvas for printing these if you want quality and perfection for your clients! Visit HERE to check them out!
The backgrounds below are designed at 24x30
Below are three of the paper 12x12 files I made and used for the mats, which are included in this collection. Use them for your other template needs, greeting cards, blog headers, or to redesign a frame or mat of your own.
These designer mats are all hand made using brushes from Photo Shop CS3, which I made myself. You will not find these patterns elsewhere, since they are all custom made, and laid out into patterns. Original designs began at 24x30 inches so any standard size up to that will still look great. Patterns are not distorted when you size up!
The following two other layers are in the file above. All you will have to do is turn off the layers you don't want to use. It includes the white, an antique finish, and a greenish hue. Mix and match them, turn on and off the textured effects, and choose the finish you want before flattening with your photo.
The mat below is re sized to a square, but you will receive the file as a 24x30.
Clipping masks were used to sample some of the mats on my other pages, (Flickr, etc.) and some have a layer left in the file which has a clipping mask ready for you. If you are not familiar with using clipping masks, upon ordering, I will make that separate layer for you so you know where to put your image. I have included instructions in these files as well.
I am throwing this file in as well. choose your own frame or use one from the collection.
Lastly, this totally textured back ground is a share, since the texture was shot and shared by Playing With brushes on flickr.
