For A Short Moment

For a short moment, I was a new wife. My husband took this photo of me on the first day of our honeymoon back in July 2009. Even though I am not the kind of person to make layouts all about me, I enjoyed making this one! I used text template for the basic journaling. (For personal reasons some journaling has been left off of the page).  The papers are Jen Allyson and Carina Gardner ribbon. The three (3) small embellies are from Shimelle's creative team kit. I hope you are a fan of the color palette. This paper kit from Jen Allyson was a great find. I will be using these papers again for my Easter pages too.

Dream-Like Inspiration

My husband surprised me by taking some great photos with our camera at Apple Hill. He took the kids into an apple orchard which provided an amazing back drop. Normally, I am the person in our family who takes most of the pictures. After reviewing the photos of our day trip, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this one of Jasmine in the orchard.

The orchard girl photo was the I selected to learn my latest color altering tricks on Photoshop Elements. I wanted a dreamy look to this one. This photo below is the original. The photo on the right is similar to the memory  I have of Jasmine in the orchard that day back in October.! A little bit hazy and dream-like. I hope my husband continues to take photos that inspire me.
