Birthday Cards

I haven't made many birthday cards for my Zazzle store so I made a couple the other day. I am busy at another swap meet. Sorry I can't write much today. Maybe I'll take some new photos today if I get a chance.

Rainy Days

We've been having quite a bit of rain around here lately. The farmers were able to get in the fields early this year to plant but now the cold and wet weather plus flooded fields means that many farmers are going to have to replant at least part if not all of their crops once it dries up again.



My poor Iris flower lasted about a day. I traded some fertile hatching eggs for some Iris a few years ago and I got my first bloom the other day but then we had some strong winds and thunderstorms that have knocked all the petals off already. Oh well. At least I got to see it bloom and get a few photos of it.

Playing

I've been playing with textures from Playing with Brushes last night and this morning. She has such wonderful textures. Here is a slideshow of what she offers. I'd love to be able to offer textures as great as hers someday. Well... were was I? Oh. I have been busy playing this morning and here is some of what I created using the wonderful textures.





This one I altered one of her textures before using it.

The Graffiti Barn

I pass this barn every once in awhile and each time it looks different as the graffiti on it is always changing. I took this photo out the window as we were driving past it one day and have added a texture from Apples and Sisters Resources to it. Maybe some day I will actually stop on the gravel side road and take photos of it while the car is not moving. I want to take more photos of barns and abandoned houses some day but I will not trespass to get the photos. I'll stay on public roads and shoot the photos from there.
