Scavenging One Productive Week

DIPTYCH

 I made homemade baby food for the first time this week.  I don't know why I never did it with our first baby...oh, yeah, I'm pretty lazy.  It was really easy...cost effective...and look at the COLOR of this squash!  It just makes me happy!

BOOK

A book I got for Christmas...I was finally able to make my first project out of it this week.

(I know, pretty productive week, huh?)

FILL IN THE BLANK 

When I think about how many questions are in his eyes, I just have to wonder what Cashton is thinking!

TASTE OF ITALY

The title of this pic should be "Looks can be deceiving" 

Alfredo sauce from a jar is gross.

Just sayin'.

REMINDERS

Don't Forget to Brush Your Teeth!

Sam had her very first dentist appointment this week.  It was a blast!

She had so much fun "Riding" in the chair and she even got a NEW toothbrush!

Touch Up: Clone Stamp

SOOC

EDIT

This was such a fun edit!  I was able to remove the wires that held this Magic Kingdom Christmas tree up...just using the clone stamp.

Then played with the lighting and colors.

Makes for a much better shot!

Scavenger Hunting February

SHADOWS

This past weekend we took the kids to a children's museum.  They had this super cool shadow room.  You posed in front of the green wall, bright light flashed, and it captured your shadow. I'm pretty sure my sister and I had more fun than the kiddos.  This is me!

PATTERNS/REPETITION

Happy Valentine's Day!

BRIGHT WHITE

Broken white crayon.

STRONG

Cashton turned 5 months old on Sunday. This is from his mini-shoot from that "Month-Birthday"....he's so strong already!

WARMTH

The stomach flu also visited our house.  Samantha was a snuggle bug all day.  My heart hurts for her because she was so uncomfortable, but she's just so cute all snugged up in the warmth of the blankets!

I Heart U:Edited

WOW!  I am very proud of myself today.  I'll admit it's not the best this photo can be, but I did venture for the very first time into Adode Camera RAW.  Thank you, Ashley, for giving me the courage. 
I can tell you very little of what I did, except that I did a custom white balance off of Samantha's teeth!  hehe....then I played around with all the knobs and gizzmos and this is the end result:

I'd say it's an improvement over the SOOC:,

Whatcha think?

Looking forward to learning more!



I Heart U: SOOC

This week's Shoot & Edit prompt is HEARTS.

Here's My "Straight Out of the Camera" Shot

Sam is such a Cheese Ball!

Tune in later this week for my edits!

Scavenging Wisconsin Winter

WATER

No matter what the topic is...it will lead straight to the Packers.  They are playing in a little game today.  You might have heard of it: THE SUPERBOWL!

QUOTE:

Well said, Vince.  Well said.

WINDOW

The view from our window after the BIG Blizzard of 2011.

ACTIVITY

Daddy teaching Sam how to clean fish.  He brought home some yummy fish from his "Man's Weekend" Ice fishin'.

PAGE 25 of a MAGAZINE

or any page, for that matter.

This face would sell stacks of mags!

(perhaps I'm a little bias)

Like his PACKER hat?

  Head over tofor more interpretations!

Good Night: Edited

I wanted this shot to focus more on the moment and less on the cuteness of the Packer gear.

My edit was Real Simple:

I cropped it & used Pioneer Woman's Heartland. 

The end.

Here it is SOOC:

I hope to get more Photoshop savvy in the future weeks....it's just these two are a handful! literally.
