Happy Birthday Avery!

Better late than never I guess....Our sweet little Avery turned 6 this Wednesday. I seriously can't believe it!!! We ended up celebrating her birthday all week long it seemed like because she shares that day with a few family members. PARTY ON! Avery is one of the funniest/quirky kids I know she says the funniest things. For example tonight she asked me what if her mattress could fly how would I know where to find her to wake her up in the morning? And than she just starts cracking up. What a nut! We want her to know how proud we are of her and hopes she had a great birthday!

I know this is not the best cake ever but I didn't know how to make Sponge Bob and that was her request. It turned out okay in my book and was YUMMY!

I need a photoshop teacher.....

So I read an on line photoshop tutorial because I seriously feel like I need to take a college class to learn it, photoshop is a beast. If there is anyone out there who wants to teach me how to use it I am totally willing to learn. Anywho, these are the affects I learned from this tutorial. They are each a little different and for sure could probably use some tweaking but I like the end result in all of them for different reasons. Cute stuff!

This is the original out of the camera image that I took of little Miss Alyssa.

This is of course the Black and White Version I think I need to dial down the eyes a bit....

This is a soft version

This is the color version

This is my favorite the antique version.
