I learned how to get the pink to read better in Photoshop today. I was trying to “up” the pink. And what I needed to do was enhance the whites. I used the image adjustments selective color to do this.  Man I love it when I learn something new!

There is a lot of texture in this background. Below is a detail shot for you. after painting the area,  I splattered both colors as well as clean water on top. I really like how it turned out.

Yesterday I was asked to talk more about Mineral paper. I planned on sharing links with the posts I wrote previously. But after searching, I found that they were written at the end of September. My blog is missing September, as many of you know. Really a bummer, as I had also included links to several places mineral paper is available for purchase.

Corinna, give me one more day, and I will share some information with you.

Five minutes to spare before the midnight blast off!

My Pinterest board for this challenge is over 300 strong!

This is a work in progress. I think I may make all the branches the dark blue. This shot was taken with my phone, in poor light as you can see. The colors are not true. To get a better idea you can look at the piece I did on Day 19.

I have just spent the better part of two hours trying to get this scanned and posted. For some unknown reason, the scanner is not working. It is like there is no power, but all the connections are connected and the power cord is plugged in. Gremlins are at work. You know, Spike, the one with the Mohawk. As long as he leaves my gingerbread cookies alone, I will let him have his fun. Otherwise, I will have to introduce him to the microwave.

I was hoping to create a pretty, inspirational printable for you all. But here it is 9:22 on Christmas eve, and I still need to send some Ecards out. So… not this year.

I want to say thank you to everyone who visits my site, and converses with me via comments. I always look forward to hearing from you! I have a few ideas on how I might make this site more interesting for next year. If you have any, I am open to suggestions.

I have listened to these songs while I was working, maybe you will enjoy them as well. I am pretty sure you can just let it play, and it will go through all the songs for you.

Merry Christmas!

May the Good Lord bless you, and keep you in his care!

Ever Thankful,

Sheila Marie
