Too Cute

This is just too cute, what a big frown you have.

Created with the Transitions digi kit from ACOT.

Dear Joey,

It has been one year today and it seems like only yesterday.

I can still see you on Halloween going to visit neighbors and

trick or treating. This was between eating all the candy at

home. I found this odd for you because you normally did not

like to eat much candy, brownies were a whole different story.

You were so fun this night, smiling that beautiful smile, joking

around and snapping as many photos of Karina as you could

just to annoy her. My last photo of you is sticking your tongue

out with skittles in your mouth. I hold this little memory

close to my heart along with all the other wonderful memories

you brought to me. I thank you for the time spent with me

even though it was too short. You are forever in my heart my

little "Stick Boy". Love You 4ever...Schree

Courage To Set You Free

In Loving Memory Of My Son Joey. Love You!

Ride Baby Ride

Digital LO created in Photoshop. Used a heavy font and then

applied thick outline effect. Selected the inside of the font and

changed color and decreased opacity so the background

element shows through.

Just Ride

Joey's two favorite things to do. VW's and

Off Road Riding. Ride On Stick Boy....

Love You 4ever.

Tiny Lil Treasure

Digital layout. Mostly layers, shadows and a few effects.

Photos enhanced in Photoshop. Congrats!

Awesome Photo

What more can I say about this than WOW!

Thanks Jesse, I appreciate it.

My Angel Rider

I created this by taking an image and creating an overlay and then adding a textured color layer and removing the center of the wheels to create areas for the photos. A few elements and a bit of brush work and ta da. I love these photos because one is of Joey in his early days with us and the other was recent prior to his accident. The rider photo I took from a mvi file and made it into a water color. It turned out very cool and perfect for wings.

The Lil One Is Finally Here

Tiny little guy and so very cute. Everyone is doing well. It was hard to get a good shot with all the movement and visitors but I will definately have to try again. Congrats Justin & Britta!

This job involved a photo shoot, saving photos to disc for printing and a digital layout for publishing. Oh, and Mr Indian, you left lots of finger prints on your side of the window. :)

This is a class exclusive that I did for Cropalatte. It taught members of this site how to create this from using a simple sheet of chipboard, paper and embellishments.

A great gift idea. Give it a shot!
