I used My Four Hens Photography actions today.....{shock | horror}

1. Photographer's Tool Box: Basic Editing
2. Freshly Vintage: Eggshell
3. Lightened the eyes a little
4. Photographer's Tool Box 2: Warm Me Up
5. Added a texture layer, changed the layer style to soft light
6. Erased the texture from the face and body with a soft brush

Here is the texture I created, feel free to save it to your own pc and use it on your Fix-It Friday photo {simply right click on the texture and open in a new tab and save it for your personal use}:


Lastly, here is my photo:


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

With the weather getting cooler here I am loving sitting in the sun and soaking up some rays to help wash away the icky sick feeling I have at the moment. The girls are still home from school and little Miss J's spreading her germs all over me. You can't NOT snuggle with your little one's when they are sick so now I have a cold.....woopy!!

I finally got around to posting a new digital page using some of Vinnie Pearce's gorgeous goodies.......wanna see...

Here is a little link list of the items I used on this page:

• Poised Full Kit
• Poised Solid Papers
• Art on Wings 01
• Grunge Script Masks
• Bucket Full of Sunshine

The photo was taken just after Christmas when we went up to Dorrigo Mountain where one of my 5 uncles live......such a beautiful place, remember this post about the clouds coming in the door....lol!! So very pretty. The photo was taken as we were driving down the mountain....the views were amazing! Here is the full photo:


I edited the photo using one of my favorite Photoshop action Urban Acid.......if any of my photos have blue sky in them I almost always use this action! The vintagey frame is by Rhonna Farrer @ 2 Pea's and the tape on 3 sides of the photo is the NEW Clip Art Tape Strips: The Solid Sequel freebie from PUGLY PIXEL! After I applied the tapes strips to the frame I added a small shadow to them and change the layer mode to MULTIPLY in Photoshop so they became a little transparent.....how cute are they....thanks Katrina!!

......to the Kenner Road blog and snag yourself a desktop/iphone wallpaper for May!! Here's a preview of what it looks like:

Here is a page I created that I used for inspiration to make the wallpapers:


No I ♥ Sunday or Much Love Monday this week as I have had a killer of a sore throat.....my throat swelled up so much I could hardly get anything down!! I was in bed for two days sleeping I was so ill and that doesn't happen very often at all {staying in bed whilst sick I mean...lol} now the two girls are home with sore throats, Little Miss J is actually quite worse than Miss O. I had to take her to the doctor's as I couldn't keep her temperature down....she is feeling a bit better today thank goodness. We slept on the lounge together last night as it was easier to monitor her temp and give her some medicine but I hardly got any sleep at all. You know when you start thinking your little one is about to go into convulsions because their temp is way too high. Crazy things start to form in your head until you are too scared to go to sleep. I hate that feeling!!

Off to get dinner ready, girls bathed and pj's on......then early to bed tonight.......zzzzzzzzzzzz
