Playing with Paper and pictures.....

I have always wanted to figure out how to color on thing in a black and white photo . So I learned years ago how to do it with special pens. I never really like how I made them look .

One of my friends a year and a half ago showed me a scrap book page with her little boy in a yellow rain boots holding a yellow umbrella and the rest of the pic was black and white. I asked her how she did that and she told me with a very expensive computer program. I thought Oh I better buy it then cuz I loved that picture so much. Well I never bought the program but discovered that I had it all ready installed on my computer. (This was about 8 months later.) Well just because you have an expensive program doesn't always mean that you can turn it on and it will work. I just could not get the hang of how it worked I was so wishing I still lived by my friend. ( cuz I know she would have been able to teach me) In a passing conversation a friend of mine her who is an amazing Photographer kinda told me how to do it . so I thought I 'll give it a try and holy cow it worked . I could only figure out how to color one thing at a time I guess I need to take baby steps.

Well I joined a card swap some of my friends talked me into it. I thought OK I will try it but who knows how they will turn out considering I have never rally mad cards before. It was fun making the card it was kinda hard coming up with a design on my own. I think scrap booking is much easier. The theme was flowers I thought OK I have tons of flower stamps and flower paper I can do this no problem . Yeah right I just looked at every thing and my brain started hurting. I then thought I would maybe use blossoms I have tons of them but I did not have 12 of the same color. Then I saw a chip board flower and thought I will just trace it 12 time and see what I can come up with . So This is it !!!!
