Erika's Baby Shower

Hey Guys,

My good friend, Erika Edmundo, had a baby shower today. If you couldn't tell by all the pink, it's going to be a girl. Her name will be Sofia Mariela, and the due date is October 31st!! Halloween Baby The party had a lot of fun cheesy baby-games, with prizes for the winners. Unfortunately, I didn't have great luck at the games, but we all had a wonderful time. I know Erika will be a great mom

The theme was "Baby-Land" a play on the game "Candy-Land"

 Yummmm 

 Pudding for the dirty Diaper

 EWWW lol

 Everyone was guessing her waist size

 This game's winner 

 Beautiful Baby

 We had a raffle to win a prize

 The winner of the "Dont say the B word" game. We all started out with three pins and every time one of us said "baby" the person who hear it took away one of our pins

 So many pins

 Opening up baby gifts

until next time,

photoshop filters

Hey Guys,

Not a whole lot new and exciting. I'm trying this summer to really push my photoshop skills. Below are examples of my work. I used an image of Megan and her mom from James's prom last spring. I wanted to try to play with some style filter ideas. 

The original image with minor adjustments

 First edit: skin retouching

Second edit: I'm going to call it my vintage filter. I was aiming for something the seemed like it was shot on old color film from the 70's

Third edit: I'm calling this filter, News Print. I wanted it to be grainy and look like it's a photo printed in the newspaper

Fourth edit: I'm not sure if I can come up with a name for this one except maybe "hollywood?". It's a basic black and white conversion with a black vignette. I was going for something that you might see in a look-book in the 1950's.

I liked these a lot and I think I might try some more down the road.

Until next time,

Teresa
