I’m just another 20-something who loves old things, creating, art and photography. This blog is meant to chronical my creative-life journey. You will find information here about my photography and about my creative process. You’re also likely to hear about my day-to-day adventures. I also like to share my favorite things, so there may be posts to other artists, creative-minds, or websites that I adore.
I hope you’ll stick around and see what fun trouble exiting things I get myself into!

Hey Kate, I read your proceedure for making the picture of the girl in the blue chair more of a vintage picture. I have a question. I don’t use Photoshop, I use Photoshop Elements (and that might be my answer) I notice you flatten after each action, or it appears that you do. Why do you do that why not just have all your layers available and then flatten them at the end if you want to save space? I am not as artistic as you and my ability to work with even Elements is limited the learning curve is steep. At least that is my current excuse. However, I really enjoy your blog you speak to your artistic process that is the most interesting. Thanks
Hi Aunt Karen!
I don’t think you have to flatten. It just sometimes helps me stay organized. There are some actions that don’t work without the space being flattened. But those are typically rare & I don’t understand why that is. There is probably a really good reason…but the learning curve is steep as you said & I only know about 0.01% of Photoshop. But it sure is fun to play with!
Got it, I really enjoy your blog and it is one of the more encouraging blogs. I was impressed that you had the mini tutorial on the blog already more important it makes me want to do something myself and look at things in a different way. Do you do any digital scrapbooking?
Well Thank you! I haven’t been able to make digital scrapbooking look any good! I’ve tried, but I’m not a natural. So I haven’t picked up on much of it yet, but it’s amazing what others are capable of.
I’m glad you are enjoying my blog. It’s fun to have a record of the creative things I’ve done. It’s a good way to look back and see how far I’ve come as well.
