More Baby Pics

Here are some more fun pics I took and modified in Gimp. Mostly just fading the edges (the first one has no modifications) and picking out colors to keep while making the rest of the image black and white. I have some purple ones I want to do this to as well... later...

Enjoy!

More Baby Pics

I had some more fun with the camera again yesturday... and modified two of the pictures I took. All I did was soften the edges with white, mute the color, and add words.

My lil Angel

Well, I finally started working on a few more photos... this time of my sweet little girl. I had some fun with the camera yesturday after changing her into a different outfit (3-6month size, so a bit big but oh so cute...)... yeah, I took over 100 pics in about15 minutes, haha. Anyway, here are a few things I did with them.

I thought this picture was super cute, and decided I'd like to see it in black and white with only the red showing, so I did!

This one reminded me of trying to 'catch' something, so I edited the corner to make it white, softened the edges, and added some words in the corner. I love the 3D effect of the words... had no idea that what I was doing would do that! How? Made the words thicker, made them white, copied it and made those black, moved them 3 pixels down and left, blurred them, and then made the white layer 'soft light' instead of 'normal'.

This pic was just to cute. I decided she needed a halo as it looked kinda like she was about to pray. Yup, so I made a halo and added more words using the soft glow layer bit.

So, those are my pics... at least the ones that I modified.

Here it is... the finished final product. I should have posted this ages ago. I decided on this layout in the end, even though I loved some of the others, because it is a 2 photo layout and I wanted to add in my foot pic with our wedding rings.

Baby Announcements

This post will also appear on my main blog.

So, today I've been working a lot on creating my own baby announcement templates. I made 5 basic templates with many variations to each of them (except one, as it works just great the way it is). You can view the album by clicking here. Thanks to Shabby Princess for her free downloadable scrapbooking themes. Here's a little taste of the templates.
