Photoshop Fun...

Just thought I would share one of the projects I am working on for my Digital Illustration class. It's been a lot of fun to see all the cool stuff you can do in photoshop...



Not sure how well you can see at this size... but all of the "people" in the image are Andrew. Basically I masked him into one photo several times, I altered the sky, changed images (minus the sky and his jeans) to black & white. It's still not perfect but I liked it and it was a lot of fun to create!

In other news... there isn't much going on around here. Just busy with school, working on final projects. Looking forward to a rather low-key weekend! :)

Happy Birthday to my sister!

Today is my sister's birthday... my bestest friend in the world... my consistent influence to be a better me... she's my strength when i am weak, a shoulder when i need to cry, she's an unbelievable Aunt to my son, basically she's EVERYTHING to me! There's not one thing about her that i would change... i love everything about who she is and what she means to me. Sorry, I'm trying to keep this short and not too sappy... sooo lastly i am forever indebted to her for sharing Kaleb & Ella with me.

Happy Birthday Sis! I love you!

quick update...

man, i didn't realize it had been so long since my last post... the time really got away from me.

first i want to wish my mom a happy birthday! "happy birthday mom! hope you have a wonderful day!"

this past weekend i went to Virginia... stopped in Georgetown on Friday and did a little bit of shopping... Kim introduced me to the great, i mean GREAT little store called LUSH! This place has some really good stuff. I picked up some hand lotions and scrubs and a facial cleanser... so yummy!

We took a class with Stacey Julian... it was pretty cool and she was pretty cool too! I love the little album that i made... it's a 6x6 celebration of the sweetest little girl i know! I'll try to post some pictures later. :)

Andrew's basketball team has their first playoff game tomorrow night! Go LV!

Uhm... that's all i got for now.

Spain...

Last night I received my official letter of acceptance to Study Abroad in Madrid, Spain this summer. It hasn't really "sunk" in just yet, but I'm still pretty excited at the thought of being in another country for almost a month! Overall it's kinda bittersweet... I'm totally excited but at the same time I've NEVER been away from Andrew for this long; it's always just been a few days here & there. So that being said I'm a little sad at the thought of being away from him for this length of time but I also feel this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity for me... like i said "bittersweet." Not only am I worried about missing Andrew, but Kaleb & Ella too! I've never been away from them for this long either :)

I can't take credit for the picture above, I found it online today... but this is one of the places we'll be visiting... The Cathedral in Toledo
