Cinema View

This week, I've edited one of Hiro's recent picture into the cinema view using Picasa's newest version. Isn't this cool? I've also use this tool to edit some pictures for scrapping! It kinds of puts your subject in the lime light. Love it!

Life Is An Adventure

This is a layout which I've shared during a Swirlydoos blog hop sometime ago. I've promised that I'll share this layout in greater details. So, here it is again. This is a layout created using Swirlydoos, French Quarter kit.

I've also used a flourish chippie from Dusty Attic and some stamps by Vilda Stamps. I've used an acrylic sheet by Clear Scraps as the base for this layout.

Here are some close-ups.

These are some of the stamps by Vilda Stamps.



To highlight the acrylic, I've stamped and outlined it with a Zig marker.



The chippie is lightly inked and dress up with Stickles.

Hope this layout is inspirational to you all.
