Do you Dare to Dream?

 

Hello my friends...

I've been thinking about DREAMS a lot lately...... reflecting on my Mondo Beyondo dream list that I wrote last February.

I pulled the list out a few weeks ago...I am amazed at how many of my dreams have already come true.

 

One of my Mondo Beyondo dreams was to be a Shutter Sister. :) 

It's crazy what happens when you put things out there...and everything aligns just perfectly. 

 

So, here I am...a shutter sister....and I'm flying to California!!  Somebody, pinch me. :)

Ummmm, I definitely would not have predicted that last February..... 'sigh'

I'm such a home body...so content to just BE in my little creative world.

But this is going to be fabulous! So good for me!  

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone this year.... 

How bout you?  are you dreaming? are you dreaming big?

Have you dared to ask yourself.... 'What do I really want?'

Would you love to gather with fellow creatives and get inspired?  OH my gosh... I just know Camp Shutter Sisters is going to be wildly inspirational. 

I'd love to hear what you are dreaming these days? 

 xxo, 

p.s. all images processed with the soon to release 30 textures in 30 days collection...

Life is Good - The I'm Lovin' .... eDition

 

Happy Saturday

I hope your weekend has been fabulous so far.

I've been making textures this afternoon.  I am so bursting to share.

'sigh'

How 'bout you, what are you up to this February weekend?

I thought I'd share a little 'i'm lovin' list with you all.

  • If this site doesn't make you wanna go to Italy...sigh... i don't know what will.  Oh I so want to go someday. 
  • If you could really use a little inspiration to get off the couch or chair... look no further then this post by Denise. So sweet..... I can not wait til Ben is free to explore again. 'sigh'
  • For a little home decor inspiration...and the most beautiful photos, I love visiting Tracey. Her recent family room makeover is to die for. :)
  • Readling and loving this book. Ready to hit order on this book. Just received this book in the mail. Hoping to dive into it sometime this weekend. Can't wait for this book to be released.
  • this site is BEYOND. I'm impatiently waiting for John to build me shelves in the studio and hoping it will magically look like this.
  • would love to sign up for this workshop.

Okay, must stop... Brett and Alannah are coming out for dinner... I need to make my way into the kitchen. 'sigh'.....

 

What are you loving these days?  I'd love to know.

xxo, 

p.s. one more thing i'm lovin.... that the posies in my pics are the ones I bought 2 weeks ago. Wow, I gotta get the hubby to cut the ends and put them in water every time.  He does everthing so gosh darn perfectly.  :)

Life is Good 

 mouse over to view the before image

Happiest friday.

How was your week?  I hope wonderful.

I found this sweet, happy cup at Winners yesterday. Isn't it just perfect?.... Winners is a Canadian store, very similar to TJ Max. You just never know what you may find. :)

I used today's freebie texture set to soft light blend mode 75% opacity on the image above. That's it.

Today's texture is called 'life's good'. 

Texture Lovin' Listers your download link is coming shortly.

Not on my list? You can sign up HERE if you wanna start receiving freebie textures.

Here's the same image, but I added a black and white adjustment layer, then lowered the opacity to bring back some of the color. 

 

and one more image with this sweet cup ...  all on it's own...textured with one of the 30 in 30 textures that I think you all are going to LOVE.

Oh speaking of the 30 in 30 collection. I have had lots of email about it.  Yes, the new textures will be released as a set. They should be ready for purchase, early March. 

'sigh'...so excited.

I have also had several emails about my 'white' images....  have you noticed i'm on a bit of white kick? 

Anyhow, we painted our guest room white. it has 2 huge windows...you know the kind of windows you find in antique houses...big and long... The old wood floor, the ceiling, the walls and the bedding are white.  All the white allows colors to POP beautifully. I also use foam core as a backdrop and drape a soft thin sheet over the window if it's really sunny. I have the coolest tin wash tub with a fab lid that I use as a table. Basically that's my set up.  It does the trick. It's amazing what good light and lots of white can do both for photos and a person's mood.  Especially this time of year. :)

Okie doke.  I'm off to send out the texture link.

I'm over at Shutter Sisters today...if you have a moment, pop over and say HI.

See you soon....xxo, Kim

30 in 30 - The Continuing Story

 

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. 
Maya Angelou 

Hello... Happiest Thursday.

How are you?  

Just popping in quickly to share some 30 in 30 inspiration.  The testers are killing me with their fabulousness... Seriously.. WOW.

Before I share their crazy awesomeness...  how bout my tree image... could it be any more opposite from the happy posies I've been posting?  Yikes... One might think I was suddenly depressed... :)

But I thought I would change it up a little. 

This is a fav tree...and I can take pics of it from my car...which is nice...considering how cold it has been.  'sigh'

It is much sweeter on black, i must say. 

Anyhow, I gotta share some more fabulousness with you all!

Thank you sweet testers...  I'm loving this process!
