My first CK cover!

I was pretty excited when I saw this on the website! Thanks Davinie and Stephanie for the sweet comments regarding the cover on my last post, and to my CPS gals for all the emails! I didn't actually know that they chose my layout for the cover, but though it might have been when I saw it in Brian's office while attending SOY/CKU. Follow this LINK if you want to see a larger version of the layout!

This is just a cute little card I got done the other day, using some of the new Sassafras product. I just love the cute little bunnies...I see myself using them a lot!"Hoppy Spring" Card

So, in other Lea news....I took a one-on-one Photoshop class last night at a local photography store. It was the best $45 I have ever spent, and they are WAY underselling this class time. I feel really comfortable working on portraits in Photoshop now. I took Tanner Rowberry's (#55 on the Panther team) senior portraits a couple of weekends ago, and wanted to make sure the editing was perfect. Let me just say, the dodge and burn tools just became my best friends! Hee hee! My instructor gave me props on my first photo shoot ever, and let me know that many of them were exposed properly and that I use the rule of thirds well. Obviously that is something you shoot for (hee hee, pardon the pun) when taking photographs, but it was nice to hear it from someone actually in the business! I will post a few of my favorite photos when I am done editing. I should be done tonight! I can't wait to show Tanner and his mom this weekend!

Well, that is about it from me for today! I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Happy Wednesday,

~Lea
