Live, Laugh, Love: Finally Learning to use Photoshop

About Us

Marc and I have been married since October 14, 2005. We dated 4 years before taking the plunge! On December 14, 2007 we were blessed with our little girl Abigail (Abby). She weighed a healthy 8lbs 15ounces. She came a week before her due date. (I was induced) She is a sassy 4 year old and always keeps us laughing. On September 9, 2011 our sweet baby boy, Matthew, arrived weighing an even healthier 9 lbs 6 oz. We also have a dog (Layla) and a cat (Sissy). We moved into a new home in North Phoenix in May of 2007. It was so fun to watch the progress of it being built. Hard to believe we have already lived here 4 years. We are still changing paint colors on the walls! The picture above is from our trip to Kauai in 2006 for our one year wedding anniversary. Can't wait to go back again someday when the kiddos are a little older! I started this fun little blog so friends and family can stay updated on what is going on with us (since I am so horrible about making phone calls and sending e-mails). Hope you enjoy!

Finally Learning to use Photoshop

I got Photoshop for Christmas over two year ago and I am finally starting to learn how to use it. I know it can do a lot of cool things I just don't know how to make it do them! I found a website that is helping me learn some cool stuff so I am making my way through it.

Here is my first "creation". This is a picture from when Abby was 4 months old. I did selective colorization so that the only thing that is in color is her dress. I am sure with more time I could find a picture that would create a better effect but this picture gave me some good practice.

I know that Photoshop 7.0 is already out. I have 5.0. By the time I learn how to use all the tools, version 20 will be out. At any rate, it is pretty fun to mess around with.
