Holiday Head....
Not Bed Head!
While flipping through Martha Stewart Magazine I came across this picture and thought...
What a cute idea for a picture!
I like taking pictures on my front porch, or magical front porch as I like to say.
Somehow my front porch lighting makes my wrinkles and facial imperfections far less noticeable.
This weekend the workmen finished the front porch.
I taped up a piece of fabric for the back drop, put myself in costume, and this is what we got...
Using picnik I edited them using the cinemascope effect. ( Tiffany the photographer)
This is the one I used for the calendar, wording added with picnik!
Then out of those I made this...
Well, there you have it, Decembers calendar page.
This is the 4th year in a row I will be scrapbooking a calendar. Do any of you do this too?
Might be kinda fun to assign months, themes and then share?
Thoughts?
I'm no professional photographer, but for grins I thought I would show you what a little creativity and some lipstick can do to a photograph.
This was the first go at the shot.
The fabric just brightened up the subject and the lipstick helped give some punch to an otherwise washed out face.
We took more pictures with different backdrops and those you can see in the coming days.
They are all funny...
Here's a little hint...
It's going to be a "GLEE"-FUL day tomorrow!
