I couldn't find the flowers that you used in the header of your blog. What kind were they? Here are some of the ones available at Hobby Lobby.

Blog Background from AWP Jack Frost kit

I decided to try another background. This time I used Jack Frost kit from AWP. Thanks Vicki for the fun elements to work with. I hope I have done your kit justice.
Now to figure out how to actually apply it to the blog . . . learning curve time. I tried a tutorial but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Which do you like better, the brown paper or the black?




This is a version for a three column blog. I'm not sure if it will work but it was fun to try.

Blog Background

I tried to design a blog background but I can't figure it how to put the code in so it will show up. So this is what it looked like. Credits go to Mindy Terawasa from her Blue Sonata kit for the papers and elements.

Tutorial experiment

Hi you all. I tried a tutorial I found from Mel at Scrap That Idea blog. Check out the difference in this picture.
~The first one is the original.
~The second one is sharpened but I used the warming filter by mistake.
~The third one is sharpened and the sepia filter at 20% was used as in the tutorial. Tip: go Image, Adjustment, Photo Filter and then use the drop down menu to get to the sepia filter.
~The fourth one is dodged less than the fifth photo and I didn't sharpen it for fear of too much pixulation.
~The fifth one was dodged more and not sharpened. I was worried that I had dodged the face too much and lightened it up. What do you think?
I had to post these to see the difference. There is a difference in the color of the two sharpened pics.
Also, I have always done the darkened edge by hand but there is a much faster and more uniform way to do it in this tutorial. Photoshop is so smart . . .and so are those who figure it out. Thanks to Mel I can do it faster now.

Menu Plan Monday - Jun 1-6 2009

Once again it is time for the Organizer Junkie's Menu Plan Monday. It has been a long time since I planned a week of menus. One reason was a shortage of time and another is confusion on how to change a diet. Does anyone have any tips on Low Cholesterol diet planning? It seems like the things they say to avoid are already absent in my diet but yet I still have to lower my cholesterol. What a challenge!!!

We tried Cedar Plank Salmon on the barbeque today by seasoning the salmon with salt, pepper and a little dill. Toping with Lemon slices and then baking on the Barbeque with the lid down. It tasted great!!!

Any way, here goes for this week.
