Hello Bernadette, I am very impressed with ALL your work. Your girls are beautiful...take after their Mother, I think ! To me...your Ballerina Notepaper is perfect...I prefer it as it is..any more would be overload, to my mind anyway.
I too have lots of fun playing with "photo retouching"...it is great finding out all PSP can do. I hope you will keep posting...your work is just great !
This is my contribution to D.A.D. today...

Hi,

Bernadette, I agree with Ella that the stationary is good just like it is. Once your teacher adds the address and body of the letter if will not look so empty. It was a nice personal touch to use images of your daughters. The Symphony image is really nice too. And the picture of your daughters would be good for a Pepto-Bismol commercial. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ella, I'm looking for that pot of gold too.

Diane

I loved your "Pot of Gold" Ella...It gave me a lovely feeling of Hope, searching for things, and finding something special....
Ella, I'll tell you if the ballet teacher pics that blue ballet one or not.lol

It's winter here now, so to make me feel a tad warmer, I thought I'd put this one on.

It's Called Summer Heat


I've been playing with pics for the last couple of months since my daughter got married in February, more than creating scenes. I enjoy doing both. I dont know about you, but I get totally lost in them and its a great feeling. Hope you dont mind more wedding pics, but I've played with hundreds of them since she was married and found lots a fun and wonderful ways to see photo's in different ways.....
The pic below was my daughter leaving the reception after her wedding in the car, I removed the car and just used her face from the pic.....

Cold here this morning too in our NZ winter...mist right round the house but a beautiful day to come.
Bernadette, your work is just BEAUTIFUL !!
Your memories of Summer is just right for today and the work you did on your daughter's wedding photograph is so professional...I am sure it will become a family treasure and well worth exhibiting.
I am really loving all your very talented pictures ...hope there is yet more to come !
Regards.
Ella

Diane, I'm guessing the Pepso thingy is for an upset stomach,lol, we dont have that here, but yes they look a tad unwell....lol
Yes Ella and Diane, when I put flowers or something else with the stationery it looks "too much"..overdone..I think you are right. Simple is better.......

Learning to make the tubes in Psp was a wonderful challenge, as I never thought I'd ever be able to do them. I tried a while ago and gave up in desperation, but finally tackled them. I've even scanned things around my home and made them into tubes. Psp lets your imagination fly. Its wonderful....

Ella we are practically neighbours. You are just across the pond, lol... Australia here. The sun should be up here soon as the birds are chirping and welcoming a new day.

I had so much fun with the wedding bouquet. I put it in and around everthing..lol. The clone button is magic in psp...

Hi Bernadette,

You are a woman on fire!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what you have done with pix of your daughters (they are gorgeous, btw!).

I especially like the reddish floral stationary with your daughters in the ballet gown in the upper left and jeans etc. in a modeling pose in the bottom right. Are your daughters professional models? If not, they sure look like it!

Wonderfully creative work!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

June, no my daughters arn't models. My eldest the bridesmaid works for an architect. She did some hand modelling once, lol, and my baby the bride, when she was 2 said "when I grow up I'm going to be a ballerina"..Well she started dancing, and I couldnt stop her. I wanted her to widen her horizens a little bit, but keep her dancing. She is quiet and dedicated and shy, but refused to do anything but dance. She is due home today from Singapore where she has been performing for the last 2 weeks. She has signed another 3 contracts with Disney before the end of the year, is off to China and Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei and Shanghi. She once said to me June, "if you asked me to stop dancing, it would be like telling me to stop breathing". Even when she was studying dance full time, she said, if she never performed on stage in a show, it wouldnt bother her, as long as can dance every day..She is a beautiful human being June, with a gentle heart, dedicated without being big headed.She didnt go after the work, Disney contacted her. She is only 19, married to a wonderful man, and touring Asia dancing, and is far more level headed and mature than lots of 30 year olds I know. I love all my children equally, but differently, and this is her time to shine, and I'm proud of her. According to the contract I cant say who she is when she performs for Disney, and after all her classical and jazz training she is having a ball doing the shows....I am only offically allowed to say, I'm a very good friend of Minnie Mouse....lol

Really playing around this time.

This is called.."A Sprocket in the Works"
or .."The Pregnancy of the Bionic Woman" ! LoL !
