Last night I made a pot of Dunkin Donuts de-caf coffee. With my sleep issues I try not to drink anything with caffeine past the lunch hour. I snipped off a couple of poinsettia flowers, the rest was ready to go into the trash and set them in my blue ball jar. I liked the color combo so grabbed my camera and started snapping away....obviously I had the wrong ISO and the wrong exposure but today I played around in Photoshop and this is what I came up with....Not sure I like either one of them that much, but I had fun trying. I used one of my fav textures from Kim...Dreamin. That's all I can tell you on specifics because I just played around with the rest.
Question?? Did anyone watch that new Kevin Bacon TV show last night entitled "The Following"? Oh man, was that gruesome. Not sure I am going to continue watching but the premise is sorta fascinating. One thing is for sure...I will definitely not watch it prior to going to bed, watching it in the mid-afternoon will be far less scarier.
And this is my new mantra until we have some measurable snow in my area....(found this on pinterest...) I know some of you probably think I am nuts, but I need to see a red barn covered with beautiful white snow...that cures a world of ailments in my book anyway.
Until next time.....
Haha, yes it does need to snow, because I need to see you red barn with snow on the roof too! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, I really like the effect you got with the texture and love how it turned the mug and napkin blue too, well done!
loved your coffee 'card'. :)
ReplyDeletei love kevin bacon, but based on the previews, knew i'd have to skip his new series as too scary for me. :)
love that - pray for snow. so fun. they are calling for some around here this friday. it is 27 degrees here - it is after 1 pm ... that is wild!! wore gloves, scarf & hat for extra protection from the cold but i feel like i still needed more outwear. it is crazy. i wonder what will happen next with this crazy weather??!
ReplyDeleteno kidding the Kevin Bacon show was way out there. wild. i think they are always looking for "shock valve" ... the wilder it is the more it shakes folks - what i worry about it that it gives the crazy nuts more ideas of what to do in this real world. i know it will really shake up the animal world - that is cruel. wow, i'm speechless!! what will they come up with next? i'm scared to ask that question??!! ( :
We have about an inch if snow on the ground. It looks so pretty but it is bitter cold out! I love your edit.
ReplyDeleteWe have about an inch if snow on the ground. It looks so pretty but it is bitter cold out! I love your edit.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the effect with the blue calming colors. Amazing what you can do these days.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job on this!!! Totally love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love you happy accident!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love how your edit turned out! Blue and brown is like my favorite color combo right now. I can't watch anything too violent at any time of day, so thanks for the heads up on that new show. Hope you get your snow!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the quote too.
ReplyDeleteWe have our share of snow but I have been wanting some ice for icicle pictures. As tempting as a show with KB is, i passed on it this time around. Maybe re-runs.
ReplyDeleteWishing snow for you ... as far as I'm concerned, you can have it all, my friend! Loving your texture photo even if it is a bit of a stretch for you. It's good to change things up, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! We can wish for snow for each other!
ReplyDeleteI really like the result you achieved with that edit!
ReplyDeleteI'm in NH and we have plenty of snow you can HAVE!! lol
ReplyDeletelove your final picture... I haven't done textures yet... is it difficult to learn?
and btw... I look everyday for a new blog post from you.. I love your blog!! :)
I love your edit; would make a great card.....
ReplyDeleteFriend, I hope you get all the snow your heart's desire. I know you would take some wonderful pictures and share them with us....So good luck.....
Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get a huge snow! one that you can enjoy for several days! Still cannot believe no snow there!! Lovely processing that you did here on the poinsetta!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your edited, textured version! It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the first quote, and like the look of the coffee picture. I also don't do paper for espresso. Now when it comes to snow...
ReplyDeleteYou are clever, I love what you have done with the textures here and not sure if I would wish for snow as London has ground to a halt! but it's a good mantra
ReplyDeleteSaw the Today show this morning and was thinking of you. They showed how cold it was there but no snow I think. It's going to be sunny and 68 here today.
ReplyDeleteI started the new show but turned it off halfway through it. I'm usually into shows like that but it just hit me the wrong way. Won't continue to watch it.
You can have our snow, we so rarely get it we don't know what to do with it.... I must admit I was going to watch The Following but chickened out I love crime and can just about watch Criminal Minds but that looked a bit too much. But I can read anything...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I can't remember on Tuesdays to do Kims Textures...sigh!! What I love about this is how you made the aqua color pop instead of the reds...very lovely. Yes, aqua is my very favorite color☺ Yes, it is against my religion too, to drink coffee out of a stryofoam cup..yuck. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLaurie
Love your edit.
ReplyDeleteI wish you snow, too. It would be nice to see that barn photo.
I'd like snow here, too....or, anything wet from heaven.
We've recorded the Kevin Bacon show. Haven't watched it yet. Thanks for the warning.
I really really like what you did with your picture today. I always question my technique when it comes to textures, feeling that I make them too heavy. The editing and texture worked beautifully on your picture. :)
ReplyDeleteI think your edit is absolutely spectacular! I forgot about the Kevin Bacon show - generally like him in stuff. My daughter got me started on BBC Sherlock (watched on Netflix) and wow, do I like it.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this photo. Your editing looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Love your edit and it's against my religion too!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the texture and oh how I follow that quote! I can't drink anything hot out of styrofoam I swear I can taste it! Hubby thinks that is nuts but so true! Playing in PS always fun!
