31 for 21: Playtime with PSE

I hope you’ve been by Braska’s place to see her latest post.  It featured a picture from this morning… and I cannot get enough of that picture.  I see so much there.  I don’t know if I can flesh it all out in writing right now.

But I did want to use it for a new siggy. So I played a little today.  I use Photoshop Elements for my various image work, blog designs, logos, blog buttons, and photo edits.  It’s not the big bad professional Photoshop, but I don’t have hundreds to spend on such things.  PSE works just fine for me.

After some playing and a lot of changing my mind, I have ended with this…

 

I’m pleased. I had something different in mind, and maybe I’ll do another later. But I like it. 

Credits to Lissa at HunnyBee Design and her Candy Town Kit for the papers and elements that I used to create this.

Lissa also graciously did 3 awareness ribbons for me recently, with DS colors. They are here if you’d like to get them from her. Be sure to leave a thanks for her for doing that by request for all of us!

Remember, if you need a siggy or a fresh blog look or just a cute collage for the cover of your little one’s school binder, drop me a note with what you’re looking for and we’ll make neat things together!

And can I just say how cool/weird/fun it is to see one of my buttons flying ALL over the blogosphere??  With lots of input from the fabulous Tricia, of course, my most famous image is obviously this one…

    Great use of the picture. I will keep you in mind when I am ready to do a blog makeover! Blog hopping and was at your other site just moments ago!

    I didn't know that was yours! I've always liked that button, even if I've completely failed at the assigned mission. I'm going w/what Crittle said.

    Love the picture of your girls!
    Have you seen my idea of a blog "makeover"? It is pretty pathetic! My mind just does not understand things like photoshop, codes, html, and so forth. It is not English you know? it is computer language. And between English, Spanish, and Sign. I have enough! ha!
    While I seached around trying to decide if I needed to pay for a blog lift or try myself, I kept thinking, "you know, RK could make this her business!" Think about it, you are so good!

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...

Peek at tomorrow

This weekend we were at my in-laws' place for a very quick visit. We went largely for a housewarming for Cheryl and Ethon, which was Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty darn cool place, so yay for you guys! Sunday morning pictures are normal, we do them alot. This week, before we left for church, Carole took a few pics of my little poonchin. They didn't all turn out great, as she kept making funny faces and moving at the last second. I stole them off her camera for my collection, and when I looked at this one I just kind of stopped. It's not any super great picture. It's cute, but hey, how could it not be? She's waving at herself, that's the reason the hand is up. But that's not what I saw. Go ahead, click on the picture. Can you see it? I don't see Down syndrome. I don't see a feeding tube. I don't even see a tough cookie, open-heart surgery survivor. It's not my favorite picture of her ever, but I can't hardly stop looking at it. This...
