I just love this course!! Have I mentioned that before… when I wake up in the morning it is like Christmas- I just cannot wait to have a few minutes to get on the computer and see what I will be learning and doing today!! If Jessica had the whole course available I would be done by now (good thing she is holding out on me though!)
Today we learned about hand tinting our photos and bumping up colour in other areas using saturation and brushes. I took out some of the colour in my above photo but then added some into the flower that my son is holding and to his cheeks. The next thing I did was add some glowy stars (they are harder to see in the photo due to all the white background but you can see some in the grass areas- they almost could be snowflakes). I also added a new frame that Jessica gave us!!! How fun!

Day two of my online course with Jessica Sprague and we learned how to use a brush in photoshop and downloaded the neat one in the photo above!! I even learned how to sample colours from my photo to use as the colours for my brush (or digital stamp as it works very similarly to that). I do not think I will ever take this information and become a digital scrapbooker but I am pretty sure that I will use it to mix the two media’s- using some of these neat photos on my layouts will be lots of fun!!!
Check out Jessica’s website at http://www.jessicasprague.com/ and if she offers more free courses I highly recommend taking one!!
